Matty D. and The Eagles

I was up super early this morning to catch my 5:45am flight to Portland before grabbing a connecting flight to Seattle. After riding the light rail into downtown, I was to the Sheraton by 10:30. I checked in, ditched my stuff, and walked to my appointment with Dr. D. After my appointment I went to lunch in Nordstroms and then bought a couple shirts my mom had requested I look for at Macy’s. I then took my bags back to my room and bundled up for the Eagles vs Seahawks game.

This was my first Seahawks game in Qwest aka CenturyLink Field. The Eagles looked as terrible as they have played all season. They not surprisingly lost the game 31-14. Other thoughts from the game:

• Guys who want to have their picture taken with the SeaGals are remarkably skeezy looking.

• NFL players are huge. On the whole they really are gigantic men (Chad Hall excluded).

• The pace of the game felt incredibly slow. That’s what watching Duck football all year will does to a person.

• Seattle fans are rabid. They didn’t sit down the ENTIRE game. And I was in fairly expensive seats.

• In person (as opposed to on TV) I actually found Any Reid’s black jumpsuit to appear slimming... no, seriously.

I’m up early again tomorrow to make it back to Eugene in time for the inaugural Pac-12 Championship game.

Until LA in a week,
