Grand Final Part One

9/25/2010

Today was very unpredictable. Anybody who followed or cared about the Grand Final expected an outcome. Around 5:30 pm eastern time, we were supposed to know the winner. However, we never got our winner. The teams tied, and the Grand Final will happen all over again next week. WHAT?!?!?! Has anybody heard of overtime?!?! Check out the last seconds of the game below. The reactions at the end are priceless.
For me and Al, our day was also unpredictable. We were supposed to watch the game at one of his friend's houses, but they cancelled their party first thing this morning. We still had a fantastic "backup". I put that in quotes, because it was my first choice anyway!

We met up with some of our friends at the Highway pub. It's a good place to watch the game, because the beer garden has an amazing setup. It's the perfect setting to sit outside with a beer and watch the game with 100 of your closest friends.

The game didn't start until 2. Our friend Claire got there at about 11:30 to get a good table, but the beer garden was full by that time! We still got a good table inside, though.

We arrived at Highway soon after. Since we had plenty of time to kill before the game, we ordered lunch. It was insanely crowded, and I had wait in line for about ten minutes to order food. It was well worth it, though. I ordered the Tradional Pizza with ham, cheese and pineapple. I ate almost all of it. I also drank a Pure Blonde, which is a popular low carb beer.

Unfortunately, we only stayed at the pub for the first quarter of the game. By the time Claire's boyfriend Duncan and our friend Andrew arrived, there were no more seats. They didn't want to stand the whole time, so we all went back to Duncan's house to watch the rest of the game. I had to snap a picture of the beer garden before I left. That's only a little part of it.

The pub was also at capacity when we left, so there was a winding line outside. It was one in-one out.

I still can't believe the outcome of the game. Now, we have to figure out what we're going to do next Saturday!

Enjoy the rest of your Saturday, everybody!

You are so right! I can't believe they don't do overtime! Now your whole next weekend is centered around another footy game! I can't imagine having the Super Bowl two weeks in a row.

Pineapple pizza? Now THAT'S different!
