For the Superbowl, ONE bar on campus, K Bar, stayed open for the entire event. As Americans’ in England the Superbowl happenings started much earlier for us than most. It began with Sam cooking an array of American football foods, nachos, twice baked potatoes, pizza, and cupcakes. All of the food was delicious!

After dinner we went to Woody’s (one of the more homey pubs on campus and only a 3 minute walk) for a Pub Quiz. Now I recently found out that a quiz here is fun. That is one of the reasons it is not used as a word to asses students knowledge in the classroom. You might be asking yourself, what is a Pub Quiz? Well you get into teams of six, usually with your ‘mates’ or friends, each person pays 1 pound to play and each team gets an answer sheet to write on. The winning team gets all the money at the end.

This pub quiz happen to have 3 teams that were in line for 2^nd place which receive a free drink. Well one of the teams was short one person and the ‘Quiz Master’ called me out with my American Football jersey, GO STEELERS!, to join a team for a little competition. Everyone on the team had to chug a pint of water and the team to finish first got a free drink of their choice. Surprisingly, the team I was added to won!!! Then we headed to K Bar an hour and a half before the Superbowl started, at 11:30 PM.

After Woody’s we went to K Bar and when I walked into K-bar I was shocked at how full the place was and the amount of other American Football jerseys I saw. However, I was the ONLY person with a Steelers jersey on in the place, a rather unusual feeling for me being from the Pittsburgh area. The game ended at 3:30AM and we headed back and ate grilled cheeses before going to bed. It has turned into a tradition after late nights.

P.S. There was not one Greenbay jersey at K-bar.
