Game start time of 3:30 makes for nice tailgate, but knowledge of pending cold as the sun set just added excitement.
This is what is left of the crowd sometime in the second half -- the excitement was over despite the fact that Weak Forest still had a chance -- (Boston is that bad) -- Wake threw only 4 interceptions -- and about that many actual completions to the right team.
Sitting behind us was this little girl, her sister and Dad -(they were so cute !) ( a larger contingent of the family with other children had already left ) . You can observe how tightly packed we were-- I mean it was almost hard to breathe. I stood only upon desire to take a break for halftime.
Kelly and James and another couple holding out hope late in the fourth quarter - note fickle fans heading towards the exit.
My college football teams - in order are Weak Forest, Appalachian, NC State, East Carolina (always have liked underdog over-acheivers), anybody playing Carolina, anybody playing dook --- and also have passing interest in U of North Dakota, -- Matt's team -- and North Dakota State (Mom went there), and within the ACC I prefer Miami to Maryland when they play one another. Of those nine teams Only ONE WON --- all the others lost.-- NDSU did beat Sou Illinois --- yes I mean I do not know if I have ever had such a "not very good day" for my teams. ( I may like underdogs, but I also like achievers ) yet I really did have a wonderful day - it was just a lot of fun being with friends, a brother, a nephew and outside on a pretty November day in NC at a football game. I reckon I was not ready to leave.
Oh and the FedEx racing hat will not be worn to another game. I need a new hat. I was trying one out, and obviously I need one, but this one is not it.
Oh and as I write this, the Panthers are being pounded, as in really beaten badly in Charlotte. --= I need a new NFL team too.
How about a Clemson hat? They should be your new team. Just sayin...
ReplyDeleteYou are funny :) I really like that last photo. too bad about your teams.
ReplyDeleteApp isn't doing bad this year. They should move up to the number one spot! I liked the last picture too. Pretty much sums it all up huh?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Karen, Cu (not copper) is a good choice. We will keep pulling for App and maybe plan a trip to TX in Jan to see them in the Championship game.
