While down in Tallahassee Dr. DR (Cheyn's Dad), Ridge, and I got to go to the BYU FSU game. I have been looking forward to this game since 2007 when I found out BYU would be playing close to Cheyney's parent's home. Ridge hooked up us with some tickets that were right behind the FSU bench at the 40 yard line. Ridge was such a sport. He really didn't have a dog in the fight but wore BYU blue (...and Gator shoes).We all went tailgating before hand with some FSU boosters. Everybody was really nice and friendly, except for the occasional weirdo. Alcohol helps in the becoming weird process with some. We sat in the FSU section and everyone was really nice there too.
The stadium was awesome. It had 88k seats. There was a giant bronze sculpture out front with real flames coming from the top of the spear. The stadium was huge with giant jumbo trons and lots of pageantry. The stadium was an awesome temple to college football.
Inside the FSU band, and the horsemanship of the mascot were great.
Now on to the game. Great second quarter, but BYU has a lot to grow and rebuild this year. The temperature was 95 degrees and just when I thought I couldn't take the heat anymore, shade fell on the side on which we were sitting. I was very glad we went; it was a fun experience.
