Forgot to say, he was only nine or ten when i knew him, so hes more than likely completely different now. Good luck to him in the superbowl, though i still wont be watching it.

Aye, you two especially :D

PS are these stats good, i have no idea?

And what is atmosphere like at NFL games? Over here its like they dont know what to do at football games, but i havent been to an afl or rugby match yet, so i suppose none of this sentence is relevant.

Atmos is different from a football match,few if any "songs" more chanting and yelling. There's always a flyover by the airforce at Bucs games, could be anything from a few f16's to a couple of stealth bombers. The pilots appear later and get a huge reception from the crowd, as you would expect from the way the military is regarded here. Then there are the cheerleaders...these are NOT the lager lovely's that used to be driven round Hampden on a coal wagon before the Skol cup final ( the chants do not include "get yer tits oot for the lads").

Did I mention the cheerleaders?
OOH did they knock down McCaigs folly.....
