the tide continued its roll through the SEC with a big time win at florida. thx to holly’s father we had great seats towards the north end zone at bryant denny. here’s the group in attendance
and here’s kent celebrating after the game with a nice cold beer
and here are a few of the highlights from the game. i look forward to putting some tennessee, lsu and auburn highlights out here soon. also, look for the rose bowl montage sometime early in the new year.
i will not regale you all with any of the crass, but sometimes amusing comments that got made that day, but i will tell you the highlight of the halftime show was when one of the band nerds got turned sideways for a moment.
we got great seats for a good price and i got to see the tide win in person for the first time since the ’99 SEC Championship game.
Speaking of great seats, there were plenty of good seats available by the end of the 3rd quarter, as Cock fans aren’t as loyal as fans from real football schools.
i guess i should mention that in attendance we had Jeremy, Richie and Richie’s dad (big Richie).
some Cock fans did stay for the whole game like this “special” guy who’s picking up cups to take back to his trailer.
afterwards we checked out the “cockabooses” which i have to admit are pretty freakin sweet. i wish we had some.
anyway, in the end it was a great day. the tide rolled, and we had a blast. in fact, in the end, even our opponents cheerleaders had to admit the mystique and power of the tide.
well, i’m working my butt off down in p’cola these days. i actually am putting in 60 hour weeks, and i never get to see my girlfriend, but at least i’ve got a pretty sweet place to stay.
i will tell you this, though, i experienced the absolute nadir of my entire professional career in p’cola. you see, i’m forced to share this luxury condo with ray (here’s ray’s bedroom)
and ray decided on our very first morning there that he just had to iron. now, my room is big, and i had not closed the bathroom door, b/c my bedroom door was closed. so as i’m finishing up in the bathroom, i hear a rustling noise outside. too big to be a racoon, so i say “um, ray, are you out there?” from 5 feet away i hear his voice “yeah, just getting the iron.” it took me about 3 days to feel comfortable in the condo after that.
anyway, here are some more photos of and from the place
oh, and a note on this last one….this was taken as “rita” was stirring up the gulf. i went bodysurfing in that water that very morning. that was not a good idea and i scared the crap out of myself and have mostly stayed out of the water since.
