Just got home! Man what a blast, Selassie can throw a damn tailgate party! He his wife and son couldn't have done more to make us feel welcome and always coming with a drink or food every 5 minutes. Ribs, lobster tail which I'd never had before, fresh fruit, chips dip, bread bowls, home made chocolate rice crispie treats and I'm still probably forgetting things. It was the perfect atmosphere to pregame and meet my fellow Ram's fans.
I'm so used to those 10am west coast starts that I was wondering why I wasn't seeing anything on Twitter at 10:05. Also thought Buc fans were weak cause they weren't tailgating at 10am haha. The game was insane and was so back and forth, such an emotional roller coaster. Quick's bomb was right in front of me in the end zone. Who woulda guessed Quick would score the first LA Ram TD this year? I had to let the Buc fans near me know they might be in trouble if Quickie is doing something. Honestly though, it was so damn hot for the 1st half I was trying to manage the heat so I couldn't give you anything in depth. I had a cold towel and if I didn't have that I would have been miserable. As soon as the 3rd quarter came it started to cool of a bit so you could focus more on the game and enjoy it. My favorite plays were the turnovers on D. Tru with another crushing hit in the flat to pop the ball up for Mr. Buc Mark Barron to get his first INT as a Ram. That was the tide turning moment for me. That gave the team a huge lift when Winston was in rhythm and could have really taken control of the game. Then later when Quinn came around the corner and knocked the ball out! It seemed like the ball was on the ground forever before Westy picked it up. I actually started screaming that play and had some Buc fans turning around haha. As soon as he scored, 20-30 people got up and left! This was with something like 9 minutes to go if I remember. Also wanna throw some love to Tavon for his TD. Keenum threw adamn roll of toilet paper up, but gave Tavon a chance to run under it and make a sweet move to score. Rasta and I were ranting before the game about getting Tay 1 on 1 downfield! 5 rec for 82 and a big time TD, our boy is growing. I was pissed at him for that KR decision though, could have cost us the game with that. Let it bounce and down that in the end zone! Should have had Benny back there though, I trust his decision making. Not like we needed a monster return, just the smart play. Still so many things to clean up, but found a way to win a long travel game in brutal conditions.
I will try and post my pics tomorrow on mobile, but I live like a dude in the 1800s, I don't really take pictures, I'm too busy drinking or blabbing. I can't wait for the next Tampa meet up because I will be back. George, Tyler, Brian, Bo, John were all awesome to hang with and talk to. Every Ram fan on this board knows their stuff, it's fun to talk in person while sharing some wonderful food. If anyone comes to LA, get with me and we'll tailgate. Was an amazing time, I recommend seeing a game in Tampa. Bucs fans were really cool, I knew their squad and kept it respectable, even sat next to a dude who was dating a Buc cheerleader. Loved Florida for my first time, can't wait to go back and see some more! Go Rams and say it with me, two and one!
