I agree with you though, the British Patriots fans were too quiet.

I think it didn't help that there weren't that many concentrated pockets of Pats fans. I was sat with the UKpatriots guys but most Pats fans got tickets where they could. We made quite a bit of noise.

I think most neutral fans hate the Pats, hence the cheering for the Bucs.

The anthem annoyed me. Our anthem is sung by the people too, it's fantastic when it's sung in unison and they were like mice yesterday and only woke up half way through.

Katherine Jenkins on the other hand....

I have a small TARDIS (from the British TV show Doctor Who [of which I'm an enormous fan]) on my coffee table that makes its noise when you press a button on the side.

In honor of the Pats playing in the UK, every time they scored yesterday, my friends were treated to the sound of the TARDIS taking off!

My favorite Dr. Who is Tom Baker.. (who I grew up watching) I refuse to watch any of the other incarnation of Dr. Who.

The new show is excellent, though. And there's a lot of Tom Baker's Doctor in the current actor's performance. (I used to watch Doctor Who on PBS when I was a kid, too.

Actually in golf too, you don't take chances in your golf shots and aim for the middle of the green and play for pars, not birdies. It's true in every sport...it's human nature.

Yeah, I think it made the atmosphere quite weird at times. In the 60 or so people around where I was sitting, there were maybe 4 Pats fans (with none of the 4 that close to each other), and the rest were supporting the Bucs. It made it really tough to be heard. It's definitely something I'd like to see changed for next year.

Edit: now that I think about it, maybe it wouldn't be right to put "away" fans together.

Don't worry, I booed too.

I grew up here in North America and I still hate the clamor over running up the score.

Pats should always run up the score. Points enter into the tiebreaker system and the media/NFL makes a big deal of the most points scored in a season..

Right now all we hear about is how the Saints are going to break the Pats record. That wouldn't have happened had BB been more cutthroat. I bet he feels bad about that because he is big history fan.
