I am happy to report that Scott and I are Husky Stadium virgins no more! Kin and Meredith flew up this weekend and treated us to the first college football game of the season, UW vs LSU's Tigers. Since Meredith is a LSU alum, we decked ourselves out in purple and gold and then took
the bus (free ride when you show your game ticket!) over to campus for some tailgating with the LSU Alumni Association. We settled onto the lawn with some oyster shooters, jambalaya and beers and watched as everyone around us chanted "tigerbait! tigerbait!" whenever Husky fans walked by. Then we headed over to the stadium where, thankfully, we were seated in a mostly LSU section. There were some Husky fans among us though and they embarrassed themselves (and Seattle really) by being really crude - within five minutes of the game, 2 fans got into a fight right next to us and got thrown out, and the big dude behind us was obnoxious as heck, yelling obscenities left and right while spitting tobacco onto the floor. We ended up leaving the game early because LSU was winning and because we couldn't stand the guy behind us anymore. The tobacco spitter aside, the weather stayed good the entire night and we had a really great time cheering for the Tigers. Geaux Tigers!
