The Burg

Well this weekend was let's say innnnteresting!!  The anticipation was mounting, I could barely sleep Friday night as we were to leave at the crack of dawn Saturday morning. We saw a ton of cars on the way with their flags and magnents and everything else, it was just so exciting.  We took Callie with us because we weren't able to get the usual room at the Hilton and would be spending the night at the Days Inn where they allowed dogs.  Anywho, exit 118 here we come!!!!

 Well I have never been one that is "too good" for a certain hotel or whatever, but when we arrived at the Days Inn that was pretty suspect.  Eric found the perfect place for people to hide our bodies out back, I felt terrible and had anxiety all day after leaving Callie there and needless to say when we got back and tucked ourselves into our lovely beds there was a bug crawling on my arm, def had to get my dad to kill it, gross!!!

We headed out to the tailgate, early, like noon - game time 6:00.  Tailgating was fun, definitely a different experience sober, much colder, and it lasts MUCH longer.  We started out in the TOTS lot where Colleen (Courtney's sister) and Benny (my mom's friend) set up camp, this made for easy mingling and great food, especially the famous chicken we never stopped hearing about.

We then moseyed over to Lot 2 where some of Eric's email/recruiting friends were having a tailgate.  Here is where things got eh.  The bathroom line was 100 miles long, the sun went completely away- aka freezing, by now I had been standing and walking for about 4 hours, and then what do you know RAIN!!  At least there were super cute cupcakes, right?!??!

 

Well lucky us, I have an awesome dad that has box seats, so as the rain started coming down, inside we went...ahhh the fireplace, food, and drinks neat-o, oh and our very own bathroom- this was shaping up to be a good night after all.  Game time was nearing, I got a seat right in front for Enter Sandman, which if I say so myself is the greatest entrance in all sports.  The entire stadium was jumping up and down, if that doesn't get your adrenaline pumping I don't know what does.  Amazing entrance- Wow this was great.  And thennnnn the game started.  DISASTER ZONE!!!!  Our offense terrible, we may have the worst punter every in the history of football, and our coaching staff- well they leave something to be desired.  Total disappointment all around...

FUNNY-NESS: Dad, Eric, and I are walking back to my dad's car and there is a cop in the street directing traffic.  Dad goes, "are you a cop??  Well there is a bunch of people over there that need to be arrested for trying to impersonate a football team, they all need to go to jail."  Haha he is so funny :)

And back to the Days Inn we go....
