Glasgow ROCKS!!!

Because Lars plays with the Glasgow University basketball team, he was able to score free tickets to the Glasgow Rocks February 1st game against the Cheshire Phoenix.

The Glasgow Rocks is a basketball team which competes in the British Basketball League. Formerly known as Scottish Rocks and also Edinburgh Rocks, they are one of the leading franchises in the top-tier league, and the only team to be based in Scotland, playing at the Commonwealth Arena in Glasgow. - Wikipedia

Of course it was located clear across town but we thought this would be an adventure not to be missed:) Plus, I got to meet some of Lars' basketball buddies:)

I think this was also the first time I rode on the top of a double decker bus. A little un-nerving...especially going through downtown Glasgow. Small streets full of cars going every which way. Plus, you are right up next to all the street lights...you could just reach out and touch them...or crash into them:P

Here's a little video...You can tell how crummy the roads are at the beginning but wait 'till the end when I swear we are face to face with a bus going the opposite direction...?

And I just really like this pic that was taken in a mirror on the bus :) Sorry it's a bit blurry.

Once we got off the bus it was still a 15 minute walk to the Commonwealth arena.

We got there just in time for the tip off. Found some seats that were easy to get to...didn't think it was a good idea for a very pregnant lady to be climbing over people:( 

I liked the refs uniforms:) 

We were a bit disturbed by the Rocketts, the dance team/cheerleaders for the Rocks. They just seemed too over the top but less polished...they tried...huh...

Then there was the Rocks mascot, Rocky. He was pretty fun. Doing hand springs and muscle poses:) I had to get a pic with him. I don't think he knew what to do with a pregnant lady. 

The Glasgow Rocks played really well against Cheshire Phoenix and won 87-69!

One thing we found interesting were that the Glasgow Rocks uniforms...one of their sponsor's logos was bigger and more prominent than even the team name!?! I thought their team name was Twilight Basketball! Weird.

Haha! Well, it was a fun night out for Lars and I. One of the last ones till baby comes:) 

GLASGOW ROCKS!!!
