Week 1: Bears vs Texans

LOL  Peru the country or Peru the city?

Country. I live on the east side of the Andes Mountains in a city of about 200,000 people. About once a month they turn off all power from 7 in the morning until 4-5 in the afternoon to work on the power grid. I'm native from Chicago though.

Win or lose I will be excited. Every football season makes me happy. I watch from opening kick to last kneel down, then I'll get a copy of the game and watch it again, this time watching specific plays, players and sequences. I love football.

this will be a very interesting game. i expect a very different feel to the offense compares to last year; that and really not knowing what we have in terms of players (not enough tape on all these young guys) should make things fun to watch.

I do not think the Texans are a very good team, but i'd have to say the same about the bears. If we get totally blown out I am going to be very disappointed. for whatever reason, our bears seem to play better on the road, at least on offense.

What really funny is that being the gringos, we don't really listen to Peruvian radio or watch the local news because its all about cattle futures/prices and the latest list of dead from a bus that fell off a cliff. So about every other month we don't get the news that power will be off. So we are in bed, I'm thinking about making coffee, when my wife notices that the ceiling fan is slowing down and right about then my 15 year old starts yelling about "HOW COME NO ONE TOLD ME THE POWER WAS GOING TO BE OUT!!!" Of course no one charged any devices that night and my 13 year old gripes all day about having to read real books instead of her kindle.

It would be interesting to find a few Texan sources about the game.
