Let's Go Mountaineers!

Jason and I took a much needed break from the house for most of this past weekend to host our first overnight guests. Mary and Adam gamely braved the chaos that is our house right now (no TV, no Internet, no dishwasher, boxes stacked waist high in the dining room and guest room, only one functioning bathroom) to visit us, and, of course, attend the WVU vs ECU football game.

This was my first major college football game (I loved the liberal arts college experience, but it was sorely lacking when it came to sports), so I was pretty excited about it. I did attend a Maryland vs. Georgia Tech game once, but it didn't include tailgating, so I don't think that really counts. It did include onion rings at The Varsity, though, and that might be just as good.

As for the tailgating, we were very lucky that the rain from yet another tropical storm ceased and the sun came out and gave us the opportunity to ponder this question:

Is 30 too old to be shotgunning beer?

Of course not! May we never outgrow our inner Frank the Tank.

Here are a few more pics from the game:






What we don't have a photo of is us fleeing the stadium at the end of the game to avoid the obnoxious celebrations of the ECU fans. (We might not have worried about it so much if we hadn't mocked a crowd of ECU freshmen boys mercilessly before the game.) It was a bummer that West Virginia didn't win, but I still had a blast cheering them on and screaming my head off. I'd forgotten how much I missed this sort of thing. Thanks for the awesome weekend guys!
