Day 50

It's American Football Day again, this time Houston Texans vs. Oakland Raiders.Since the Raiders played not very well this season, the Oakland Coliseum wasn't sold out.
The game started slow, both sides played not very succesful. Then a pass from Raiders QB was intercepted and returned for a TD :-(
The Raiders had to punt a couple of times.
But then it happened: the Raiders scored a touchdown, unbelievable...
And just before halftime they intercepted one and returned it for a TD, too.
The crowd went crazy...
In the halftime the crowd enjoyed the "Raiderettes".
Then the second half began with a 95 yard kickoff return from the Texans, which they turned into a TD one play later.
The Raiders had still a couple of opportunities to win the game, but after they missed three fieldgoal attempts in a row it ended as it usually ends: the Raiders lost the game :-(
So our mood wasn't very good when we went back to San Francisco. However, it was a great day.
In the evening we decided to go for dinner (korean spicy bbq chicken) to the food court of the SF shopping center, in front of this impressive icecream vendor.
