...but that sure was ugly. Between the two people necessitating being carried out on stretchers (one being a UCLA player and another being a fan that fell off the retaining wall along the sidelines*) to one of the worst calls on record (regarding an interception that was called "pass interference") to the 41 degree weather, goodness, we just left Autzen feeling a little unsatisfied.
However, we beat Rick Neuheisel who I have particular disdain for even before his scandalous "gaming" reputation that eventually got him dismissed from being head coach for the Huskies. Once I found out he took his team to the Playboy Mansion as a "treat" for doing so well - yup, pretty much lost all respect for the man..... Thankfully, as the new coach of UCLA he was not able to come in to Autzen and beat us, but it was closer than I would have liked.
Also, it was another date with just John - and given the cold temps and night game atmosphere, a particularly cozy date to be sure. The kids are still up in Dallas - Michael and Michele will bring them down tomorrow in time for Brayden's football game which will then give them the opportunity to tour the two houses Dad has nearly completed. It all came together to give us the perfect excuse for a full night to ourselves - so, with that said, I'm going to get off the computer so I can continue to enjoy my time with my hubby, sans the kids...!
* We found out today that that spectator injury was actually a father/son joint incident. Apparently, they were in the midst of a big fight and they both fell over the wall. The father landed on top of the son and knocked him out cold for 20 minutes. He was taken out on a stretcher while his father was taken out in handcuffs... (PATHETIC!)
what about us? It was another date with just John and Travie and Stephie....... We love going to the games with you. It was a fun time, regardless of all of the crazy fans. Love you guys! stephie
ReplyDeleteOh, you and Travis hardly give us the time of day as you are so caught up in "Jonathon Stewart Lover" and "Friends of 'Snacks'"! Nah, the best parts of the game are often the rides and walks over with you guys, and usually the evenings after.... Love you too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the well wishes. I'm feeling back to normal today but I just hung out and watched tv so that I wouldn't wear myself down again.
ReplyDeleteMy mom came over and watched the game with me lastnight. I have to say this AND I know it sounds bad. But when they announced that two spectators were fighting and fell over the side-> I started laughing so hard. :/ On TV it was so dramatic with the football player down on the field and they kept replaying the hit over and over again. Then seeing all the football players on one knee and the announcers weren't sure if he was okay. I was getting shocked up just watching it (probably the illness taking its hold on me). So, after they took the football player off the field and then they announced about the spectators falling over the edge because of a fight...it was like a tension breaker for me and just made me laugh. How stupid do you have to be to start fighting at a game?!!

I think the phrase might actually be, "how drunk do you have to be?!" There was a whole lot of that going around.......
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling better!
We LOVE Jonathon Stewart Lover!!!!! He is my favorite person, EVER! I had a couple of crazies next to me and one behind me this time (luckily they weren't regulars). I just love knowing that you guys are only two rows in front of us. We do have a great time going with you guys to the games. We will never forget Oklahoma!
