It's the first weekend of the NFL football season!!
Packing an entire football season into one weekend is a hard thing to do, but I can try! Since I won't have the usual football experience while in Spain I have to make the most of it this weekend. Yesterday I went to watch the Georgia Tech game at a local sports bar with a group of GT alum. The burgers were good, but the outcome of the game was, well, yeah...
Today is NFL! I've been a huge Washington Redskins fan since before I could talk. Our major rivals are the dallas cowboys (it's one of the top 5 sports rivalries of all time). Tonight they play each other on Sunday night football. Homemade chili is in order, and I'm sure there will be lots of yelling at the t.v. (hopefully more good yelling than bad). LETS GO SKINS!
When I was studying in Santiago, Chile I found this great gringo bar which streamed games from Puerto Rico. If I wasn't traveling I'd go there on the weekends to get my football fix, it was a great atmosphere & I loved going there to "escape back home" for a few hours. I'm hoping to find another bar like that in Madrid, although with the time differences I've heard the few bars that do show some games will kick you out before the game's over. So we'll see, but I'll keep my eyes open.
I'm going to be an Auxiliar in Santiago de Compostela, and I'm essentially doing the same thing this weekend (except I'm a San Francisco 49ers fan haha). This is probably the one thing I'll miss, let's hope there's somewhere we can get our football fix!!
