Night and Day Super Bowls

I grew up on the west coast, so in California the super bowl always started around 3 o'clock, & here in Ohio it started at 6pm! So after so many years of super bowl in the after noon it was strange being a night event this year for the first time. Back home super bowl became an all day event; starting with a Bar B.Q. in the backyard, hot dogs or hamburgers, head inside about 2:30 with it starting at 3pm, huttle around the TV, bets are made, and everyone is cheering on thier teams. The game would end around 6:30 or 7pm and then it is dinner time. Depending on the victory, if the rooting team wins we would all hang out for dinner also and celebrate. People hang out all day celebrating Super Bowl in CA.

Steelers vs. Seahalks Super Bowl 40 ~ 2006!

Hines Ward ~ Most Valuable Player for the Steelers

This year, we are in Ohio, a 3 hour difference from CA. and the game doesn't start until 6pm! So we went to church this morning, we were invited with a group of people to meet at Katie's house for Super Bowl at 5:30 that night. I felt like I had a whole day ahead of me to still do other things before the game and not have to be there untill 5:30. Rock on! We got there at 5:30, and the game started at 6pm and went on till 10pm! We went home about 8:45 and watched the rest here at home, Andrew has work in the morning.

With the Super Bowl being an evening event, and in OH, it was a totally different experience. No one was hanging out outside, because of the snow and cold. We were all inside. Instead of a Bar BQ we all pitched in $5 per couple for pizzas, along with the usual snacky foods of chips, dip, veggi platter, and some home-made cookies (yum). Bets were still made before the game, and the majority of the group were rooting for the Seahalks. Three of us rooted for the Steelers! Who won? THE STEELERS! GO TEAM! 21 to 10 score.

The Half time show had the Rolling Stones play three songs. At first I thought "Cool the Rolling Stones are playing the half time show!" As I was watching them play I just saw a group of old men on a stage. WoW how they have aged!? The drummer with bolding, grey, hair, and Mick Jagger was jumping around on stage sort of out of breath, and looked too skinny, dancing around like he was still in his 20's on stage. The songs are still good though. Here is a recent photo of them, provided by the Rolling Stones web site. They are in there 60s or older, still rockin away on stage.

Recap:
Ohio celebrates an evening game, and California celbrates an all day - afternoon game, OH is indoors with it snowing outside, and in CA the party starts outside with the bar-BQ, in Ohio we go home about 10:30 at night, CA. head home for dinner at 6:30 after the game is over. Total opposites on the Super Bowl event. CA. the game is ending around 6:30, Ohio the game is just starting about 6 O'clock. Time zone differs on a live event, it is night and day with the different states. Oh...and the Rolling Stones are OLD!
