Broncos and Socks

Deb and I went to the final Broncos game of the season last Sunday. We had our usual treeline seats.

Our QB played pathetically at the beginning - no surprise. Ugh! He drives me nuts. Run forward with the ball, Jay. Don't try to throw the ball if no one is open. You can run with it. Ugh! It was a cold and super windy day. Thank goodness the stadium blocked the wind from us. But then the temperature dropped and brilliant me, I wore thin socks with my sneakers. I don't have warm fuzzy boots yet. Don't ask why. So my tootsies were getting very cold, in fact two were frozen. With only 6 minutes left in the game and ahead of the Vikings by 16 points, I told Deb we had to leave. My toes were done. We ended up going to the Broncos store on the bottom level because I had to see if they had warm, thick socks. And yes, they did! Of course I grabbed the imperfect pair and I didn't realize it until I got home. The word Broncos is in the wrong color on one side of the socks. Awesome. I insisted on putting on the socks before we left the stadium. As I was doing that Deb was watching the game on one of the TV's and noticed that the score was now 11-19. Huh??? There was still 4 minutes left. We are not a cheating/come from behind/stay in the lead team like these guys, so we knew we could still lose. I said lets just walk into section 100 (field level) to watch the rest of the game. Then we casually walked over to some empty seats, end zone view, and sat there to watch the Broncos beat the Vikings in OT. Woohoo!



From all this excitement of attending the Broncos games, we decided to put our names in for season tickets. There are only 24,000 people in front of us, an approximate 12-14 year waiting list. Cool. Does anyone have connections???

Because I know you all are so interested, here is a picture of my imperfect sock. The picture on the left is what it is supposed to look like (and that doesn't even look that great) and the picture on the right is what it actually looks like.

I'm actually #27,307 on the waiting list for Bronco season tickets, but whose counting?
