Almost Tailgating Season

That season of the year is just around the corner.  The spousal unit is a die hard Ole Miss Rebel fan.  Here is an example of a typical example of  game day Saturday in 2011, up in what they refer to as God's country:

Any college football fan has got to love the activities of the day while "Groving" in Oxford, MS.
Drives up to TSUN (I'm a Bulldog) are usually uneventful because all the MHP guys are already in Starkville or Oxford.  However, three minutes into "being there", the fun begins. We have not even unloaded or parked the car, when I first notice, and remark to the spousal unit that the young ladies tans have begun to fade.  I've spotted a beautiful blonde college coed, short dress with stacked black heels.  Her feet were as white as a virgin snow bank, with a progressive tan line starting above the ankle. The  Darling should have used tan-in-a-can or pulled out the panty hose.

Funny on me:  In the hurry to unload the car, my glasses fall off my shirt (I'm wearing my prescrip sunglasses).  I'm off to park, when I figure this out.  One call to my "Super Woman, Wife of the Year" and she finds them where I had dropped the chairs.  Must of been God's way of reminding me to behave.

During the walk back from parking, a couple in a Tahoe are leaving a full parking lot that has the exit blocked.  The Guy is driving.  Date gets out, cup in hand, grabs the blockade, and drags it out of the way, wearing the uniform of the day, short dress, and high heels!  I was too slow for a camera shot!

We are chatting away when my friend CT spots the" PoPo" busting a Cutie toting a twelve pack of Michelob Ultra.  She and her date were escorted over to a nearby tree and instructed to "pop tops and pour". Tears were flowing at the same rate as the beer!



  That particular tree has been known to sway a time or two from all the beer poured on its roots!

Few minutes later, two young bucks approached us looking for something to disguise 2 twelve packs.  They left with the Chic-filet box that the University Police's lunches were delivered in. Lol!

Wasn't too long before a Alabama celerbity was spotted, Kenny Stabler!  He was loving all of the attention.

The spousal unit had two tickets to sell, so off she went.  She was determined that no Bama Fan was going to be sitting next to her! She was turning down Bama Students left and right that only wanted to give her $5 a ticket.  She was then approached by 2 boys wearing Ole Miss red t-shirts.  They drove down from Notre Dame to experience "The Grove" and go to the game.  They offered to pay  her full asking price if they could have a bite to eat.  No problem!  We get to our seats, and yep, Bama Fans have over-run section F and all the others, but not those two seats, Go Notre Dame!

The game started out with promise, but by the second half, the Alabama track meet had begun.  The rest of the night was uneventful, and we arrived home safe and sound!
