If Saturday night was any indication of what FSU's football season is going to be like - we are in for some very rough sledding.
Our day went like this - we got up at 9 AM and took the van over to our favorite tailgating spot. We set up the canopy and then George and I rode back home 2 miles on my new scooter. Then at 4 PM we all piled into the Jetta - stopped by Pizza Hut to pick up our 2 free pizzas and drove to the game. We sat around until 5:30 PM - watching Notre Dame beat Penn State on our little white TV and then walked across the street to the stadium. Heavy overcast gray clouds encouraged us to carry our ponchos - but no rain fell all night. When we got to the ticket area - plenty of tickets were being held in the air.
Once again - Nancy hit her spot and someone handed her tickets on the 50 yard line - row 46 - free. I guess the terrorists are not mad at FSU - because no one was checking our bags and pockets for drinks or bombs.
All night long - FSU was looking for a way to give this game to Troy State. Sometimes you like making the ESPN highlights even if you have the worst loss in Bowden history. FSU was losing the whole game and finally scored 2 touchdowns in the last 7 minutes to win. FSU managed less than 50 yards running. Two interceptions prevented the disaster that would have riveted everyone to the TV screen after this non-televised game. It is good that the nation did not see this lackluster performance after only 4 days of rest from beating Miami. Right new FSU is averaging 25 running yards a game.
At the ending bell - we walked back to the car - Keith went to a party with his friends - and the spoiled FSU masses tomahawk chopped their way home. A short ride and 20 minutes later - had us home watching the highlights on ESPN.
Pictures - Tailgate party with Curt - George - Joel - Keith - Nancy - me. The little TV on the Jetta hood kept us in touch with the Penn State dabacle. Go Noles. Go Nits. Also 2 pictures from our 50 yard line seats.
