Game Day Feel

[GP1]

Since I didn't get to attend the game yesterday, I still would like a feel for the atmosphere. Homecoming should be a day of fun and festivities shared by all. However, if you haven't figured it out by now, that skank, Mother Nature, is not a Zips fan.

In my lifetime, there has never been a more comprehensive categorization of the types of rain one can experience than the wise man Forrest Gump described. Since we all process events a little differently depending on the person, I've put up the categories of rain and added one of my own so you can choose for yourself. Laughing frequently a physiological response after crying. Have some fun.

For me and my son, the rain had nothing to do with the game day feel. We were prepared. We have sat through worse.

What did ruin it was the fair weather fans constantly walking in front of us, headed for the mezzanine and then coming back. Constant. I had one Ohio fan's fat ass in my face six times before I finally moved to the upper deck. The second time he walked through in the first quarter with his porker son (to get food), he told his family "I don't like this stadium. You can't get through." I said "We can go for an hour or more without eating." I hate OU fans more every time I see them. I won't bring up our experience at the hockey playoffs.

The rain didn't bother us. It rained hard but it was warm. That won't be the case later in the season. For me the game day feel was all about Terry Bowden's product on the field.

It was at least the first two choices. I actually was impressed that as many fans as did sat in the rain and stayed the whole game. Not that is was crowded but given the score and the attendance (or lack thereof) in good weather, I expected more to leave. It was warm though. Had it been cold it would really have been miserable. (Seems like losing 43-3 no longer generates misery. Like I told my wife, who sat through it all and did not even complain, it has happened so much i am just numb to it now .)
