Tailgating

I generally avoid the east side of the stadium on game day. We live west of the stadium, our tail gate is on that side, and once we get that far into campus we tend to avoid going down the hill to the other side. But given our special game day circumstances with Luke, we were going to be on that side of the stadium for the morning anyway. And being as lazy as I am, I decided that if we were already on the east side that we'd just go ahead and stay over there. No need to traverse campus when I never really feel like it.

So, we stayed down the hill for the day enjoying my friend Bev's fabulous, shady, centrally located tail gate spot. We intended to visit other friends who tail gate on that side of campus, but I already mentioned how lazy I am, didn't I? Well, there ya go.

Being on that side of the stadium for game day was eye opening. Things are so different over there. Tiger Walk happens on that side of campus, as well as the entrance of the marching band, the cheerleaders, and all sorts of other football stadium folks. It was like a constant ticker tape parade over there, and we saw Aubie at least 3 times.

We will likely return to our familiar, quiet west side for our next tail gating party with our good friends, but it was fun to shake things up by finally venturing over to the other side of the world....er, I mean, campus, for the day.
