Labor day. The first FSU game of the season, a home game against Miami. We used to buy season tickets but skipped this year and last. I was spoiled upon my arrival to Tallahassee in '98, we won a national championship and kicked major butt for a few years. Campus looks totally different now, one great addition was the "Unconquered" statue. You can't make it out in the picture, but for special events the spear has flames!
I like campus all the time, but on game day there is something about the energy that is infectious. I started from the house and rode my mountain bike up through campus. The game started at 8pm, and as early as 11am (when I was there) the festivities had begun. Unfortunately, I had a little mechanical issue: my tire separated from the bead and I had to call for backup! Mom and Robert came to rescue me! I had one more spare, so I need to order some more tires.
In the afternoon we went to our brother and sister in-law's house (who shall remain nameless, they google their names and would frown upon the exposure). Grandma made barbeque shrimp and Grandpa boiled some. It was slap your momma good! I had a gripe with barbeque shrimp though; it didn't have BBQ sauce and wasn't cooked on the grill. wtf mate!? We were there most of the day and pretty much crashed when we got home.
I woke up a little while after falling asleep to see that the Noles were in the lead! Yeehaa! Rachael woke me up a little later, 22 seconds on the clock, down by 4. We had ample opportunity but couldn't come up with the win. Rachael and I were all bummed, and I stayed up for a little while longer to watch some of Tropic Thunder - very strange, somewhat funny, I didn't see it all before falling back asleep.
