Before I start, I found it was teh awesome that my tix came in from stubhub...and the person who originally bought them lives in Austin!
Carolyn and I left for KC yesterday at 0830.
*Note to LtCol Homey: Sir, we stopped at the BX at McConnell on the way up there so the Missus could get some decent winter golves. That has got to the the smalliest/****tiest BX I've ever seen on a USAF base.
Got up to the Holiday Inn across from Arrowhead (thanks to HuskernSooner71 for hooking us up) at 1400 to find out that there were 12 people who were screwed cause they oversold the rooms...luckily, we got ours.
Saw the classy Whorn banner...but didn't have the digicam to get the pic.
Got to our seats at 1730...up in the freezing nosebleed section completely SURROUNDED by Mizzou fans.
When the band started their pre-game music, the Mizzou fans around us started talking **** about the band. My wife (whose two sons were in the band in previous years) yells at them to shut the **** up...and she almost gets into it with one drunken Mizzou fan (who later admits that he was a band nerd once). The Mizzou fans start talking **** to us about how they're the better team and take care of us for Texas. My wife shoots back..."just like you took care of Mizzou and Kansas like we did, eh? OH SNAP!" GAWD I LOVE THIS WOMAN!!!
The rout begins...Mizzou fans around us are dropping F-Bombs like they're going out of style...they're ready to kill their DC, OC, Pinkel, Booger...just about everyone on their team.
HALFTIME...WE'RE THE ONLY ONES LEFT IN OUR SECTION!!! I wished all the Mizzou fans a safe trip home (some of them grumbled, called me a smartass) as they left.
This was our first away game (minus the RRS)...and even though we were both reduced to popsicles by the end of the game...it RAWKED!!! I cannot wait for next year's CCG at Jerry's FunWorld.
