Doug and I both agreed whoever picked the home game schedule for ASU this season was a complete moron. We not only had 4 games in a row (which is not always bad) but all of them were in the month of September. Anyone that lives here knows it's miserably hot, which in return makes the games just slightly uncomfortable.
We met up with Dean, Kathy and the girls prior to the game over at Logan's Roadhouse. We had a pretty interesting waitress (which could be a post all of its own) Anyways, just as we sat down and ordered it dawned on us that we had forgotten our tickets. I stayed behind and Doug rushed all the way back home to retrieve them. I don't even want to know how fast he drove the 25 mile round trip to get them. We still managed to get up in our seats just before kickoff at 5:15pm.
Fortunately, our seats were on the non-sunny side. I can only imagine how much hotter it would have been if we were in the student section. We knew going to the game it was going to be a tough fight. ASU played the #2 Georgia Bulldogs. I have to say I was impressed with their fan following. Many of the sections were filled with loyal red and black dressed fans. Although we had several loyal fans ourselves (just look at this guy that sat above us). Hilarious. We walked away with yet another loss. I am just glad the next game isn't until the end of October, which could still be warm, but nothing like 100 degree temperatures we were supporting last night.
Yesterday we followed Bob Barkers advice by controlling the pet population. He was a little freaked out about the lamp shade. But, if it prevents infection, I think 10 days is worth the price, rather than having him go back into be stitched all over. I have to admit I got the giggles just looking at how ridiculous that white thing is, not to mention he has no peripheral vision. Don't worry he seems to be back to his old self today. He even wants to play fetch and has his appetite back.
