Crowning the Homecoming Chief and Princess
It was Homecoming at FSU - and even though Lulu and I were jet lagged from being home - coming form London - we had to go. We wanted to stand behind FSU. While we were gone - a kid died in a hazing incident. The President shut down all the Greek organizations - and it is not good. Yesterday - the "Greeks" boycotted the Homecoming Parade - because they could not drink it up.
Delaware was one of this cupcakes you schedule for Homecoming. They were 1-8 and they came here to collect their check.
FSU was 3-6 with 3 games left. They must win them all or be the first team in 40 year sot have a losing season - and not go to a bowl. FSU won 77-6.
After the game there was a concert on the field - Cole Swindell. We stayed for little of it.
We drove the scooter to the game. A man outside the stadium gave me 4 FREE tickets on the 50 yard line - 35 rows up from the field. At first - we were walking right in then I told Lulu to go in - I would sell the other two. I got $20 each for them. The couple sat with us. They rode their new camper from Pensacola.
The game was like playing a high school team. But FSU at 3-6 is not much better. Still the people that came acted like it was a major win. It was Homecoming - although - many of the "Greeks" boycotted the game. The student section was half empty. the stadium holds 80000 but it looked like 40000 showed up. This is what a losing season does to you. Just 4 years ago - FSU was national champ - and had the best college season ever - both yardage and total points scored. Now they play to a half empty stadium on Homecoming.
