STL Rams Win the Super Bowl!!!

It was a crazy day on January 30, 2000.  It was Super Bowl XXXIV featuring the Saint Louis Rams and the Tennessee Titans.  I was excited as ever for this was the first major sporting event that I actually cared about.  My parents had gone to a Super Bowl party, so me and my siblings went to my grandparents house.  We all plopped down on the couch and prepared to watch the game.  My grandmother had purchased Super Bowl cupcakes for us all to eat during the game.  My brother ate mine.  The game began and moved to half time in a flash.  The Rams had only scored on field goals and led the Titans by 9.  In the third quarter the Rams scored their first touchdown and the whole house went crazy.  My grandmother corrected my celebration techniques though and taught me how to do the bob and weave.  The game was nearing the end with the Rams leading.  Tennessee had the ball and prepared for the last play of the game.  The ball was hiked and they attempted to run it for a touchdown.  I remember the Rams player grabbing the running back and stopping him inches from the end zone.  At first I was confused if he had scored or not, but I later realized we had won.  I was extremely excited, but I kept inside because I was too tired to cheer.  That was the first sports game I remember.
