So disappointing.
We dropped off the littlest one at a friends house and we went downtown yesterday. Arrived at a bar near the stadium at 12:00 so that we could have good seats. The bar has a big projector screen that comes down over the stage. BUT, the game wasn't for 6 hours. I was the designated driver. Dan took it easy with the beer, but 'M' and her three friends did not. Neither did the guy friends they had come meet up with us. Those 6 hours before the game had a GREAT band out of Nashville playing. We were dead center, front row. My ears are still ringing.
The atmosphere in the bar during the first half was second to none. Elbow-to-elbow people. Young people. Dan and I were the oldest people in there.
On both 4th downs that they didn't make it, Dan said they should kick the field goal. They didn't. Would they have won? Maybe.
Dropped passes didn't help either. That whole 3rd quarter was just 'UGH'!
It was a great year.
After the game is when the fights started. All those young people with too much to drink and wanting to take their disappointment out on other people by fighting. Really put a damper on a fun day. Regardless of the loss it was a fun day up until the point. Well, other than late in the 3rd quarter a full 32 ounce beer getting tipped over on the table and about 31 of those ounces hitting me squarely in the crotch area. Yes, I got very wet watching that game. Had to shower when we got home at 12:30am.
My ears are still ringing 12 hours later.
