Super Tecmo Bowl

The Super Bowl came early to robshep.com and it was oh so sweet. I've mentioned before that my buddy Dan challenged me to a season of Super Tecmo Bowl for the Super Nintendo. We have had some epic battles. It came down to the conference championship. Our teams played each other twice in the regular season and we split the series...both winning one game.

It didn't start off well for Rob. On the opening kickoff Rob messed up and kicked an onside kick that Dan recovered. Dan scored right away and Rob thought he was done for. Dan then scored a field goal to go up by ten points in the first quarter. Then, like a scene out of a movie, Rob led the Dallas Cowboys to a ferocious comeback to beat Dan and the Philadelphia Eagles 35 to 17.

For those of you who care Rob then went on to beat the Buffalo Bills in the Super Bowl. Besides becoming a Christ Follower, getting married, and winning back to back volleyball championships at Student Summer Camp, it was the greatest moment in Rob's life. And yes sometimes Rob writes in third person.
