Who's not going to miss a second of the Super Bowl?
I've got a mini-fridge under the TV filled with brew. I've got an empty 2 liter bottle for when nature calls.

Do you envy me? I thought so.

3. I'll be watching the grass grow.
Don't have a favorite team, so I was gonna take a pass. Now I gotta see it, just to watch the grass grow.
The sod for the field was supplied by a hometown boy.

Super Sod
Saturday, February 03, 2007
By DEREK BELT
Sports Reporter

FOLEY, AL -- When the NFL's turf-management team first inspected the Georgia-grown sod that was to blanket the field at Miami's Dolphin Stadium on Super Bowl Sunday, south Baldwin grass grower Eddie Woerner made sure his cell phone was fully charged. The call he anticipated came later that day. A change was being made. It was Jan. 18. There were less than three weeks left until the big game.

"Eddie," the NFL official said, "can you start Monday morning?"

Woerner shot back, "Sir, we'll be finished by Sunday morning."

By daybreak that Friday, a roll of Woerner's best turf -- developed by Elberta-based Southern Turf Nurseries and grown at two of its four worldwide locations, which include farms in Elberta, Florida, Georgia and Chile -- was being laid every three minutes. By noon, the field was done and ready for painting, and by mid-afternoon that Saturday everything was in place.

Turns out ol' Eddie Woerner knew that the bidder who won the contract had his sod fields in an area that had recently been drenched by rain. He figured it would be too wet. He was right.

He had one of his guys in the stadium parking lot with samples of their Super Sod. As soon as Eddie got the call from the NFL he called his guy in Miami and told him to go on inside and show them the samples.

The original, wet sod was only laid on the sidelines.
Woerner Turf sod covers the entire playing filed and the end zones.
Now I gotta watch, just to see how Eddie's turf holds up.

7. You may have heard
the crowd shouting "MOOOOOOOOSE" His first name is Muhsin. The fans often shout that for support and approval when he does whatever it is he does. (Sorry I don't follow football except for hearing my husband shouting in the living room)
