Post game excitement

I declare Summer Semester 07/08 officially OVER!!!

And WHAT A GAME!!! ladies and gents... Now that's what I call a Superbowl!...

The New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning started off solid in the first quarter but somehow slacked off as the game entered the 2nd quarter, making seriously ridiculous errors of judgment, and poor throws.

But man did their defence step up.... Every time the New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady sets up for a throw, he would see a huge linebacker closing on him fast, or more often don't even have time to see the tacklers coming as he receives an arm in the face and end up flat on his back.

But given some time and space, Brady is quality to be envied as he sets up quick successions of first downs for the Patriots...

The game came down to the wire... 50 seconds left on the timer... Giants down by four points and needed no less than a touchdown... The snap came... Eli Manning sets up but was crowded by linebackers and his bodyguards, however beat the odds and managed to break lose to throw a long pass... David Tyree making a spectacular acrobatic back dive catch and it was first down with 39 seconds left in the game... On the edge of my seat... Now or never for the Giants...

The snap, Manning sets up and throws  a long corner pass.... Plaxico Burress on the receiving end and

TOUCHDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWN GIANTS!!!!!

It was surreal... emotions ran high... fans went mad... The Giants pull off the upset of the season...

Final Score:

New England Patriots - 14 // New York Giants - 17

THE NEW YORK GIANTS ARE THE SUPERBOWL XLII CHAMPIONS!!!

If the Patriots had won that game, they would have gotten a perfect season, winning all their matches bringing a record of 19-0, becoming the second team to win every match of the season... Better luck next year boys....

Btw the pre game entertainment was Alicia Keys while the half time entertainment was Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers.... American Idol winner Jordin Sparks performed the national anthem... All in all a memorable and top class game that lived up to all the expectations...
