[speaker001:] uh they did well last year didn't they
[speaker002:] yeah they did pretty well I was real happy with them last year uh the Miami Dolphins when I'm down here when whenever they don't they don't play Detroit very often but when they do I root for uh Detroit but uh when Miami's playing anybody else I usually root for Miami now that I'm down here
[speaker001:] yeah that's you that was my favorite since I was about ten years old I think the Miami Dolphins
[speaker002:] oh really you like Jim or uh yeah you like Marino Dan Marino
[speaker001:] yeah I do yeah I do he he's a good quarterback I followed him more when they had Larry Csonka and stuff Griese and this was quite a while ago
[speaker002:] yeah that's the old that's the seventies Dolphins right
[speaker001:] yeah I'm not that old I'm only twenty seven but I just remember them playing a lot we just moved down from Seattle and we use to go see the Seahawks all the time
[speaker002:] Seattle Seahawks that's right
[speaker001:] they would do well for a few games and then they they haven't made it in the play-offs for a long time
[speaker002:] well did you go to school in Washington State or anything like that or
[speaker001:] um I worked up there for Boeing for two years
[speaker002:] okay so the Huskies are pretty good right
[speaker001:] oh yeah that's right yeah they were really good up there we moved right before they took uh well yeah right we watched them down here for the Rose Bowl
[speaker002:] they always beat Michigan in the Rose Bowl the University of Michigan always make it to the Rose Bowl but then some uh Pac-10 team always beats them
[speaker001:] yeah they were they had a good team I was pretty impressed with them
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] they had well we followed BYU here that's who my team was and that's uh Washington came in second that year that
[speaker002:] ah you you're near Salt Lake then
[speaker001:] um
[speaker002:] you know where Brigham Young is
[speaker001:] no well they're I'm about an hour and a half from the campus I never went there I just like their passing their offense that's why I like watching them but that's about how far it goes
[speaker002:] oh do do you work at Morten Syco
[speaker001:] um I work at Morten
[speaker002:] okay I interviewed out there one time yeah
[speaker001:] oh you did I work in the airbags
[speaker002:] oh okay
[speaker001:] I'm a process engineer there
[speaker002:] oh okay
[speaker001:] Syco is the there are two separate companies now
[speaker002:] oh okay I didn't know that
[speaker001:] and so Syco is the rocket booster and we do the airbags
[speaker002:] that I I interviewed with them back in eighty six
[speaker001:] oh huh still going to college end
[speaker002:] yeah that's right when I graduated yeah
[speaker001:] what do you uh-huh well do you go see these football games very much I mean actually in person
[speaker002:] not I went to one football game down here in Florida I watched Miami Dolphins
[speaker001:] oh that must've been fun
[speaker002:] well actually terrible they built that Joe Robbie Stadium there in uh in Miami and it's not a covered dome and when it when it does rain down here in south Florida it just it just comes down in buckets
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] and that particular Sunday it poured like it had never poured before and that place was like a giant funnel all the water goes down to the bottom of the field and the field just started filling up with water and in my seats up there they've got little drains but they don't they don't drain fast enough so we have water up to our knees
[speaker001:] oh you're kidding
[speaker002:] and you know warm rains tropical rains are okay but after a while you get the shivers you get cold
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] and it was just terrible interrupted the whole game and we went to the rest room for a while and uh there was guys emptying out the trash cans emptying out the plastic bags and cutting holes in them and putting them over their heads and stuff
[speaker001:] oh wow
[speaker002:] but the but the that that game they played the Pittsburgh Steelers and Miami was beating them at first then they finally wound up losing at the end of the game so it was kind of a bomber game
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] so my my football experience down here in Florida has been very bad when I was in Michigan I loved to go watch U of M play uh I played high school football you know so I you know that's that's why I kept up with the sport but in Michigan it's a lot different because you can go there and it's cool weather you know down here it's hot weather it's hard to get into football
[speaker001:] yeah it is that fall weather is really nice to watch a football game in
[speaker002:] that really get you in the mood that late autumn sun and it's nice and cool you can bring in some peppermint Schnapps with you in the game you know what I mean
[speaker001:] uh-huh no it it is true I love that fall weather to watching a football game you can't beat that
[speaker002:] yep you get the apple cider and stuff on the way home and
[speaker001:] well how how many does that stadium hold at Michigan
[speaker002:] over a hundred thousand usually they have a hundred and three thousand normally I mean a hundred and three thousand because it's all bleacher type seats and it just squish everybody together but it it
[speaker001:] oh wow uh-huh hundred thousand
[speaker002:] yeah but when you're there it doesn't seem that bad because everybody's all all real nice and everything and uh like I say you just take a little hip flask of peppermint Schnapps or or something like that and everything goes real good
[speaker001:] uh-huh  boy that should be fun
[speaker002:] yeah you have like tailgate parties there's like a golf course right near there and everybody uh has big tailgate parties you know that's get like a big bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken and eat that before the game and drink beers and stuff like that and you go on out and watch the game it's really neat then after the game Ann Arbor is such a nice town uh it's a big uh it's a football town in the fall I mean it's just an all college town all around it's real fun
[speaker001:] uh-huh  uh-huh did you go to school there
[speaker002:] I don't go to school at University of Michigan I went to uh Western Michigan University
