The Ravens Win the Super Bowl

How incredibly awesome was that moment? Let me tell you, I have been breaking out in smiles randomly since yesterday.

 

I started the night watching the game at Grotto's Pizza, during that first amazing half by the Ravens. People there were just going wild. I even got photograped by an area magazine- I was wearing my Flacco Delaware 5 jersey, and I was standing next to a guy wearing a Flacco 5 shirt, and it was pretty cool. They took a photo of us reacting to one of the touchdowns.

 

At half-time, I walked over to this Super Bowl gathering being thrown by a friend of a friend. Because this is Delaware, almost everyone was rooting for the Ravens, save for one guy who wanted to root for an underdog. Then the outage happened, and I started freaking out because I figured that the 49ers were going to get time to re-group and the mojo was going to change. When the game re-started, I felt like I was being proven right, as the 49ers steadily eroded the Ravens lead. One of the guys told me I was being a downer, and that I needed to have faith.

 

And it happened. With that fake punt return, we realized the game was done, and we all cheered accordingly. Great, great night.

 

I've been an Eagles fan since 2004 and a Ravens fan since 2008, so I've never gotten to see a team I follow win a Super Bowl. It was a great, great feeling. I am so proud of Joe Flacco and the Ravens.

I'm not sure about that quote, Mike L. Is that some kind of blow to Baltimore?

 

Hey though Chase, don't be sad about this. The 49ers really did a great job. Baltimore had it, then the tide turned and it wasn't clear until that awesome fake punt return.
