Go Jaguars!!!

JAGS WIN! JAGS WIN!! JAGS WIN!!!

So today was the 'big game', the Jaguars at the Colts in the new Lucas Oil Stadium. Both teams were going into it with a lot of lingering injuries. But both teams claimed to be ready. And I think that was a legit claim. At least injury-wise...

The game started out with a shock to all - the Colts scored a touchdown on their first possession - THE first possession of the game. Woah... this was going to be a long game (I thought to myself). Especially since the Jags didn't even get a first down on their first possession. But the Jags got in their groove and it turned into a really good game. So come the 4th quarter, the Jags were up, 20-14. With 2:33 to go, the Colts get the ball and wouldn't you know it, Peyton got it down the field for Addai to score with 1:07 left on the clock. This upset me. A lot. (ask Eric). So the Jags get the ball with just over a minute left and start down the field. They get to a 4th down scenario and didn't make it. I head up to the lobby at this point. But wait - there's a penalty! And any Colts fan will call foul on this, but it stood. Jacksonville get a first down off of an interference call. We're still in it!!! Countdown to 8 seconds left to go... Garrad gets it to the 33 yard line. In comes Scobee for a 51 yard field goal. And with 4 seconds left on the clock... IT'S GOOD!!!

So the game was saved and the Jags won. I breathed a sigh of relief as we walked back to Eric's house. No jeers from any of the Colts' fans could stir me... the Jags beat the Colts in Indy. :)

There's a few pictures you can go check out... but I was really into this game (since this was my team) and the camera only came out for a bit at the beginning and then at half time when we went up to the upper level patio/balcony overlooking the downtown skyline. Otherwise, I was too busy wringing my hands and gritting my teeth. :) And don't let the picture of Eric and I fool you... I didn't smile a whole lot during the game, either. LOL
