An observation during the Superbowl

I am always amazed at how many people are logged into the diesel section of this site, especially late at night or early in the morning. The number is usually a minimum of 75 or so and often goes over 100. It seems like quite a dedicated group of people.

So I thought, during the Superbowl, surely there will not be very many people logged in. But when I checked during half time, there were 121 logged in, and after the game started back up, there were 125.

So are you guys watching the game while participating on this site, or just participating on this site?

BTW, I am watching the game while logged in and typing between plays.

Until you said that, I for one could not have told you with any certainty beyond wild guess that the super bowl was today.

I'm watching it while surfing the diesel news

Everybody knows you have to locate the PC where you can also see the TV.

Multimedia!

I played sports all through school but never got into watching them on TV. I know I'm an oddity so It's surprising to hear that forum attendance hasn't been effected by the game.

Sorry hobbitss. My condolences. I didn't think the Giants would pull this one off. It reminds me of when the Steelers rose to the occasion a few years ago.
