Last year was miserable. I am not talking about wins and losses, I am talking about the HEAT. My seats were moved to a beautiful prime location on the 35 yard line on row 44. I was in heaven, until I sat down for the first game which kicked off at 1pm. There wasnt a cloud in the sky, and it was 127 degrees.
Game after game I sat there, begging for shade, sweating in the heat, bathing in sunscreen. Face it, the more games I went to that kicked off at 1pm, I was seriously doubting that move of seating. I am wondering if the heat, and the stress of the burning hot sun had something to do with the poor mascots health issues.
2011 is a better season already. My friend Bill Brittain told me so. follow him on twitter @wbrittain74... Oh yes, there is HOPE!!! We were talking about the upcoming season in what is usually a 3-4 times a week phone call to discuss our various opinions and game plans, and he mentioned the first 2 kickoff times had been announced. The first game is against a top 5 opponent of course but its also a NIGHT GAME & INDOORS!!!! Add in that of the 70,000 people in attendance, and somewhere in the neighborhood of 58,000-60,000 will be clad in glorious BULLDOG RED. The 2nd game against Carolina isnt exactly at night, but its a 4:30 pm kickoff so at least when we get into the 4th quarter, there should be a little relief one would hope. As Bill says, "Its gettin better already"
I know Russ isnt complaining. Im not either.
GO DAWGS!! ALL FANS Wear RED ON SEPTEMBER 3rd!!!!
