Super Bowl XX - Wikipedia

No one expected us to win. The score was 23-3 at the half and it seemed far worse than that at the time, we were getting our butts kicked. It ended up 46-10. My GF of the time decided I needed some stress relief. It worked. Let's just say I parted the uprights more times than than the Patriots did that day!
I generally don't drink during playoff games unless things are going very very well. When it went to 28-3, we poured the bourbon. "Something has to change!" My daughter texted me from Florida with my own words: A lot of football left, Dad.Not a big drinker during Pats games or SBs as I want to watch and absorb them in a sober state.
I also don't eat a lot of sweets either. Cakes, candy, etc. Potato chips are my addiction....and we were out.
I'm not a nervous eater really but that game I had a problem....
When it went to 21-3 and I was starting to slip into an extremely concerned state. I didn't want any booze so I had a cream-filled chocolate cupcake with raspberry frosting my daughter made. It had a plastic "Patriots" thing on it. They were cute....and very good.
At 28-3 I had another.
At 28-9 and the missed XP I had another.
28-16- Yep....Another.
I took a break for a while but had one after the White TD to make it 28-28.
5 cupcakes during the 2nd 1/2.
That has to be some kind of Man v Food record?
Even better for me was the Falcons forum. I actually made it a pasttime for awhile going to the Jets and other message boards and reading their game day threads and they were all the same and oh so sweet
