Didn't think of it in time to get the first half, so here's my second half Super Bowl diary. I had to go back in time for part of it so times are approximate and may be more wrong than right.
8:13 pm I just got back from my Bruster's run just in time to catch Prince's halftime show. This has great potential, but he's starting out with a song I don't know. We'll see how this goes.
8:19ish pm Turns out even though Prince has a vast catalog of his own material choose from he's going with a random single by the Foo Fighters from a year and a half ago. Interesting.
8:23ish pm Purple Rain! In the rain! Best halftime show EVER!
Sometime in between Dungy challenges a 12 men on the field no call. Nice strategy.
8:40 pm - 9:30 pm Can't type while I'm ironing. Stupid business attire rules.
9:35ish pm Rex throws another interception. Is a direct snap offense out of the question at this point?
9:42 pm When Rex Grossman's high school coach told him to aim for the sky, Rex took him a little too seriously. Note to all high school football coaches: Choose a different inspirational cliche.
9:50 pm Two minute warning. This isn't really fun anymore. Honestly, it never was.

Super Second Half
Jeff says:
I couldn't help but think of you during the halftime show. Purple Rain is probably the only Prince song that if i heard it on the radio i would immediately know it was Prince, and i'm almost 100% sure that's owing to your eclectic music selection when we were kids. Maybe next year we can convince them to open the super bowl half time show with Bobby Brown 'My Prerogative', throw in a little Stevy Wonder, and then finish it up with Michael Jackson's 'Bad' or 'Smooth Criminal.'

I wish you had been able to chronicle the first half events - very entertaining! I wondered about the "Purple Rain" - did he have it planned days before or did he change it at the last minute to correlate with the evening's weather?
