Not This Weekend

Well, Mister was feeling poorly enough with a cold that he didn't feel like going to see the game against Bowling Green. He would have made the walk for a bigger game, but it didn't seem worth it on yet another chilly day for a home game. I did manage to get the tickets to a neighbor whose high-school age son was happy to use them. So they didn't go to waste.

Against U Mass, we had a close call, but this game we blew out the opposition no matter who was quarterbacking. It was nice to see Forcier with his head on straight, leading the team down the field. The press and fan need for a savior last season played a major role in getting Forcier to become something of a jerk, so while Tate is responsible for how he reacted to reverses after initial success, I always remembered he's pretty young and hoped he'd settle down and become a major part of the team. We'll need him this year--even with Robinson as our outstanding starter--and he seems like he's back.

But it was odd not to be at the game when it was just down the road. Just walking to the stadium is neat:


Lot's of taigating by people who probably aren't going in the stadium.

And approaching the Big House is still cool:


Watching the team enter is always a rush, I have to say:


And the band sent a detachment our way to play:


The game was certainly exciting:


More exciting than I'd like.

But, as always, the best part is being there with my son. He loves going to the game:



I hope Lamb will want to share this one day, too!

But not this weekend, I guess. She's still too young to want to go at all--healthy or not!
