The game was sponsored by the state of South Dakota. There were posters everywhere, the handouts at the gate were those spring-loaded banners (they look like two scrolls that you pull apart to show a banner) that said Go Vikes on one side and South Dakota on the other. Anyway, South Dakota was really pimping their pheasant hunting. For the halftime "show" they had a guy dressed up in a pheasant suit in the middle of the field and they had two guys blindfolded in opposite endzones. The crowd on each end of the field was to cheer and boo their respective blindfolded guy to guide him to the pheasant in the middle. The first one to touch the pheasant would win a pheasant hunting trip with Chad Greenway in SD. I assumed the guys would eventually make their way to midfield and this would be over quickly... however, what I didn't realize is that the pheasant would move. So once they got near midfield the guy in the pheasant costume ran off, which left these two guys wandering around in the middle groping wildly (ok, one funny moment was one guy briefly trying to grab a cheerleader instead of the pheasant). Eventually they closed in and grabbed the pheasant... almost at the same time. They announced the winner and that was another 4 minutes of my life I would never get back. The clincher is that during a break in the 3rd quarter the PA got on the mic and said that they did a video replay of the halftime chase and then they showed a grainy Zapruder-like video of the other guy touching the pheasant first... I wish I was making this up... I also forgot to mention what was the worst halftime “show” I have ever seen in my life.

After the Ravens took the lead late in the game the crowd was near silent... stunned. So when the Ravens kickoff team took the field several of the them taunted the crowd. No surprise they missed that kick... Karma is a bitch... I forgot to mention how the Karma Police punished the Ravens on Sunday.
