Ready for Some Football?

I braved the elements with my wife and a group of friends last night, and went to Rentschler Field in East Hartford, CT to watch the UConn Huskies take on the South Florida Bulls in the Big East season finale for both teams. The emphasis here has to be on "brave the elements", as the first snowfall of the season made it tough for the fans. However, most of the 35k plus faithful did indeed gut it out and were rewarded with last second 29-27 victory. Higlights for me included great food, cold beer, and a nice catch of a flying tshirt by my wife. My friends kid wimpily ducked as the tshirt flew toward his head, and I actually tried to tackle my wife in an effort to become the pround owner of the shirt. Ends up it'll be mine anyway - it's an extra-large! Other highlight include the first tailgate party for my neighbor Dolores, and probably one too many $10 beers for my friend Dave. At least he gave us all a few laughs! A nice win for the Huskies after losing 5 games throughout the season by a combined 15 points. Next up for the Huskies, the papajohns.com bowl - pizza party anyone?
