Super Bowl Sunday UK Style

This is going to be short, because it's so late, but it needed to be done.

If there is one thing to know about the Super Bowl here: the commercials SUCK. Seriously, we saw the same totally lame Dominos ad in EVERY commercial break. I think we saw two commercials that weren't just lame/normal. One of them was Coke and the other Guiness.

It's extremely weird watching American football with British commentators, who were especially hard to understand. They also put them on in place of commercials, which was really boring. They also like to show the 3,000 strong London Super Bowl party, with American football cheer leaders performing. *shurgs*

There were 4 other Colgate kids at our dorm pub (how cool is that?), and pretty much the whole pub (including us) were cheering on the Saints. Some people were cheering whenever anyone scored. It was pretty funny to watch as entire groups would change alliance.

The pub's special Super Bowl menu was burgers, nachos and fries, typical stuff. I think in total the 6 of us went through 4 plates of nachos, 2 of curly fries, and 3 4-pint pitchers of beer, as well as a bunch of Coors Light, which was the special. John and I split a cider, and had a bit of the beer, but mostly just sat back and watched the others go. It was actually a good time, made me feel less sad about missing the parties back home. No one lost their pants this time, but hey, you settle for what you can get.
