Timber's Soccer

Yesterday we were lucky enough to experience our very first Timber's game against Puerto Rico. Little Pearly is here for a visit and to commemorate the return of some more Wyoming/Colorado we decided to pregame it before heading down to the stadium. Originally we had planned on everyone meeting up here and then heading over but everyone seemed to be running a bit late. So, in the process Little Pearly and I proceeded to go through a better half of bottom shelf vodka with orange drink. By the time that we met up with everyone our happiness level was the equivalent to the end of the first quarter of a UW Cowboys game...even if we were losing.

Free nachos and beer-Thank you "Ladies" and Man

It took us the better half of the first half to figure out what color we actually were, usually we are green but for some reason this game it was black and white. After cheering for the opposite team for almost 40 minutes, we, and by we, I mean our entire group was confused, finally realized we were the black color. Just like most stadiums we were limited to purchasing only two drinks at a time and since there was no 7th inning stretch, booze sales stopped at the 80th minute. Our first run resulted in a awesomely discounted domestics and free Philly Cheese Steak Nachos. Thank you man from the Timber's Army for your conversation, discounted beer and nachos-great recommendation and I owe you.

In the 85th minute the Timber's scored and with sunflowers in the air, PGE Park exploded in song and cheers. By this time it was very apparent that no one really knows how to pregame it like Wyoming and Little Pearly and I were very much jubilated. So, dressed in green (instead of red) Little Pearly, McAsian and I made our way to the Irish Pub with their double decker bus for celebration and good music....or so we thought.

We celebrated, along with a bachelor party and the music was terrible. The Puerto Rican Irish bartender and I had several discussions about what makes a true Irish and why there weren't more people here celebrating. Week day games, especially before a holiday, are not cause enough for great celebration. The Irish Pub is also usually the last stop on everyone's trek from the Park. Needless to say our game experience for the first time was fantastic and I can't wait to go to more games. The fans are loyal and true. It was so much better watching from the stands rather from the rooftop-it's a more authentic feel. And for those of you who thought we were 'out of control', ha- clearly you have no sense of adventure to enjoy all the things that life throws at you in the moment. You will not survive the Army. It will be great to see the stands fully packed come next season. *insert Irish cheer

Tip for the Day: Everyone is accountable for their actions, including me. Don't treat me like a child. No matter how much fun you are having always be responsible and for the most part I am, especially in the city. I will jump without knowing where or when I will land but I will make sure the adventure ends up safe. I am no one's problem but my own, and you are your own problem. If you are going to hurt yourself, of course I will catch you before you fall. So the tip for today-be accountable and be responsible. Make good decisions!
