Rose Bowl Postscript

The video we taped in Baghdad was shown at the end of the first quarter. Photo credit: Nicole Vartanian (proud member of the Fighting Illini).

The game started around 0100 our time and the Baghdad Alumni Club (or at least those of us still up at 0100) convened in the 3rd Infantry Division conference trailer to enjoy the game. Spirits were high. I have to think the insurgents were still watching Rose Parade reruns or just trying to keep-up with the legal status of Britney Spears' kids since the game passed without any incoming rounds. Nice!
