My beer selections for tailgate #1 had a definite Indiana theme going. Here are my suggestions if you are travelling west:
Good and nutty.
I am not very familiar with this style. Although tasty in the bottle, much better on tap.
I am usually not a fan of wheat beer, but this isn't your normal wheat. Another one that was much better on tap.
Usually amber ales are pretty sticky sweet but this one has a nice hop wallop.
Both of these Barley Islands were solid. Looking forward to trying more of their stuff.
1. Coach Bowden was great. He is a pro in front of the camera and enjoyable to watch.
2. I think there were more highlights in the game one montage than there were for the entire 2011 season.
3. I like the "rising stock" idea.
4. Can we get a sign with "Football with Terry Bowden" centered? Seriously?
By the looks of the box score, FIU moved the ball pretty well but couldn't punch it in and missed 3 field goals.
I wish it would have been on TV. It had to have been more fun to watch than Alabama-Michigan.
I don't want to read too much into this, because I didn't watch the game, only saw the scoring updates but...
Over the years, I don't think many REALLY good teams lost to Duke by 20.
I guess we shall learn more next Saturday night.
Go Zips!
