Super Bowl Sunday in the United States was actually Super Bowl Monday for me in Quanzhou. The game was not shown on Chinese television (at least where I was) I decided to "watch" the game through updates provided by my sister, ECG, KK and KK's husband BK. Here's the transcription from our Whatsapp group.
ECC (myself): Ok, here’s my plan for tomorrow’s game. I will put my phone on airplane mode for the entire game. When I get back, I will read the transcript of the game from start to finish in chronological order.
I am turning off my phone in a few minutes. Even though you are all in the same place, keep the comments coming……and goodbye for four hours.
KK: MC & ECG, where are you?
MC (my sister): We are here at my place till half time.
KK: Boo
BK: That’s bad luck
KK: Holy shit! Manning misses, safety for Hawks on first play!
ECG: BC we cannot control game outcomes. Fastest score in SB history!!
BK: How do you know that? You think you do, but can you be sure?
KK: Even Elie beat you here.
ECG: Love Kam Chancellor!!! Well, we’ll just keep the Nanaimo bars here….Broncos kept to punting after 3 downs. We have ball on Seattle 28. Marlene does not like 3rd and long.
ECG: We need to watch our penalties.
KK: Who ever though the score of the Superbowl would be 8-0. Kam!
ECG: Ok, the commentary between by brother and MC is kind of awesome.
KK: MC, your goddaughter is going after Kade again…Beast mode! Who would have thought the core would be 15-0.
ECG: Elie is in beast mode. Denver makes it’s first 1st down with 10 left to play in the first half. Kam is back in. 2nd and 22. Now 3rd and 13 Denver ball. Interception!!! And TD!! 21-0!!
KK: Woot!
ECG: Extra point good. 22-0.
KK: C’mon fumble…..Boo
ECG: 1:06 left in half. We receive at top of 3rd ECC, we won the toss.
KK: Elie just tried to tackle Kade.
ECG: Shut out at the half!! 22-0! BC we’re staying put. We ordered pizza.
BK: We’ll be over later for post game Nanaimo bars!
ECG: Then you’ll see the Knox era coach’s sweater!! Marlene speaks for all when she remarks that she did not know that Bruno Mars was such a good drummer.
KK: Concur. Will miss you but appreciate you staying put so as not to jinx the mojo. We will be over for Nanaimo bars! Whew!
BK: Percy Harvin worth every cent
KK: That’s what six million buys!
ECG: Yes. Run back is good for TD! 29-0!!
KK: Who thought the score would be 29-0???
ECG: Not Vegas.
KK: Elie is now studying the Seahawks yearbook.
ECG: Denver with ball. 7:00 left Q3. 1st and 10. Holy moly. Pick by defense. Flag. On Denver!
BK: Yee Haw!
ECG: Our ball with 15 yd penalty for unnecessary roughtness. YAHOO
KK: Ahhhh!
ECG: 36-0. This is insane.
KK: UW! So Crazy! 36-8. No biggie. Here comes the 4th quarter.
ECC: I couldn’t wait. I lasted 2 hours and 47 minutes. So after safety did we kick two field goals to make it to 8?
BK: Yep. Defense is dominating.
ECC: Percy Harvin ran back the second half kick off? Save a Nanaimo bar for me.
KK: Woot! Doug Baldwin TD! 43-8!
ECG: Incredible!!!
ECC: Is Wilson being a stud? Or is everybody? Sounds like SF could have won had they beat Hawks.
KK: Wilson is solid, but defense is awesome. Team effort.
ECG: Wilson is spreading the love. The defense is absolutely doing their job and Wilson has time to make plays. I have yet to break the seal and know Marlene won’t let me.
ECC: What’s happening????
KK: Hold it ECG! You can do it! ECC, 8:30 left, Hawks ball
ECC: Keep details coming
KK: Sherman sprained his ankle.
ECG: Not coming back. 3rd and 1 our ball. On their 40 or so.
ECC: Has the deaf player run the ball?
ECG: On the 30. Coleman? No. Skeletor is carrying out the Lombardi trophy.
ECC: Slade Gorton? Lombardi Trophy?
ECG: No some old guy with translucent eyes and high cheek bones.
ECC: Hawks score?
BK: 43-8
ECG: We have the ball inside their 30
ECC: Still same drive?
ECG: Just lost on 4th down likely intentionally. 2:00 left. Time is running out. :40 it’s us. Even your sister is saying. Called it! It’s official!!!
KK: Wow! 11AM Wednesday Seattle Center start for parade!
ECC: I’m going to miss it! Damn it
ECG: Please let the record show that ECG broke seal after it was official.
