few things from the other night,
Clears, I didnt see the announced attendence but I was honestly suprised by the size of the crowd, the grandstands were fairly full because of the rain.. we were in the RF roof on the 40 but went to grandstand after half because of the rain. one of my tailgate buddy's daughter is a Storrs State grad and he got the tickets thru their box office so I paid bust out retail for what I couldve bought for $10 on the street.. and those people were thrilled to see us plop our, well MY fat ass in the 2nd row in full BC atire
takling to a buddy whos a Yukon grad Friday night, I was telling him, and others at Sweet Cheeks (great BBQ) before the game I was ascared for a few reasons
1) field and weather, this was 2nd time all year we were on grass and shitty weather can be an equalizer
2) trap game.. Yukon sucks and I was ascared Daz and staff would be looking onto 'Cuse rather then task at hand
3) Wade how would he do
well i was right on weather and field, what you didnt see on TV was the ground crew coming out during every time out and tamping down divots on the turf, at least it wasn't much of a factor. When it was 3zip at end of 1st with us already having missed an FG, I was worried and said what I alwys say up in QQ 'you can't let a bad team hang around, they'll think they belong' thankfully a couple big runs by Dillon sealed that deal
Wade was OK, in a game manager role, I was stunned to see Perry warming up and Tweeted such to ATL, I think one factor in having him come in burning the shirt is that he is a local kid and just playing in Fenway wold be a thrill and lets face it, he will be #2 next year, good to have a little real game experience under his belt going into that
On to the Dome!
