jason scored some killer seats to the stanford / USC game. i'm talking 15th row at the 10 yard line. BEST part, they were free! we went back & forth about taking beckham. we opted not to after remembering how traumatized he was by the volume of the crowd at the galaxy match. auntie anna & uncle jer offered up their saturday evening & gifted us with our first date night post baby.
we loaded their house with baby goodies, kissed our blond haired, blue eyed boy adieu & headed out just in time for kick off. the game was promoted as the game of the week, the battle of the top 5 quarter-backs. the question everyone had...would the game deliver on all its hype?
it more than delivered. as the sun set over the coliseum the trojans & the cardinals battled back & forth. fighting for the highest score. our seats faced the USC student section & looked down on the stanford tree. the USC students made the stands rumble with their undeniable team spirit. the stanford tree danced and kicked around the field encouraging his team & fans to a hopeful victory.
as the final seconds of the clock ticked down, a controversial call was made causing the game to head to OVERTIME. it was the first time in a decade that the coliseum has hosted an overtime football game. guilt started to set in for me, knowing jer & anna had our little man. but, this game was going strong.
after three nail biting overtimes. YES, THREE! a fumble in the in-zone & a stanford recovery left stanford victorious! and we could not have been more delighted. stanford has a special place in my heart & i am so happy the won! it was an incredible night. it would not have been possible without jer & anna. thank you so much for watching our little dude & for keeping him far longer than we had anticipated.
about the photo above on the right. we had captured the picture on the left before we were chilly & in our stanford red. so after the sun had kissed the horizon good-night & the crisp air had started to blow, i told j let's grab another picture. he got distracted by the game right as i snapped the photo. i literally laughed out loud because he has his smile ready but couldn't take his eyes off the field. can't blame him. it was an incredible game!
