Ok...not a debate on whether he's a good QB :thrwrck: .....just wanted to share some pics from a memorable game with my wife. 
When my wife found out her "celebrity boyfriend" Tim Tebow and the Broncos were coming to Minnesota to play MY beloved Vikings, she asked if we could go. Seriously?? I mean, does a one-legged duck swim in circles?? Of course I jumped at the chance and immediately went to calling around for "decent" tickets. As I get older (mid 30's ) have learned, or am learning, to appreciate good players, role models, leaders, winners, and just good ol' fashioned great athletes. I am a huge Tim Tebow fan for who he is as a person and the way he always handles himself (matter of fact our 2nd son's name is Timothy "Jace"...).
So, the real question that went through my mind was "who was I going to root for?" all assuming we could get "decent" tickets. I am a Vike through and through, but losing could actually mean a better draft pick?? Despite only winning 2 games, they have had the lead at the end of the first half in all but 2-3 games...so our record is a little deceiving as to how 'decent' our team is. I decided in the occasion that good players do the right thing with the things they have been given, I would root against the Vikes if it was for the greater good...
Well, the quest for tickets was short as I called my roommate from college (who informed me of a guy who owed him a favor)...needless to say, we were going to be sitting in the corner of the endzone, on the field itself, with all-access passes...all for $70.00. Couldn't pass that up.
My wife and I, since having kids, have never been away from both kids together in 3 years, so we were pretty excited. We cut the drive short by staying in Albert Lea, not without a slow trip from the weather....wow, snow was terrible as it limited us to 30-40mph by Charles City.
We arrived at the stadium at 10:30 and went down to the field and immediately started taking pictures with my big lens (btw, since we had all-access passes, they let us take our good camera in....normally that doesn't happen). My wife informed me that Tim Tebow's parents were right in front of us...got a chance to meet and talk to his mom, which my wife thought was the bees knees...and John Elway walked right in front of us, Ruben Studdard sang the anthem, HOF Paul Moliter blew the Viking horn, and HOF Dave Winfield tossed the coin... Anyway, pictures are below....it was a great trip and very glad we had the opportunity. Only bad part was all of us, except my wife, got the flu that very night....poor woman was up all night between the 3 of us doing a LOT of 'cleaning'.....
