The Grove:
The Grove is nice... The Junction holds its own against the Grove though. The one obvious advantage the Grove has is it has power hook ups. Also, I haven't seen him post in a while but I'm 90% sure I saw BigErn in the Grove before and after the game. Nice to see he is alive and well.
The Fight:
Thefamily drug me to "The Walk of Champions". It was meh... About 20mins before the walk a few State fans came walking down the walk to jeers and boos and 17 yous. Then a BIG State fan comes walking down the walk. When the jeers started he fired back and the next thing I knew the crowd pushes him to the ground, throw his bell out into the Grove and start thowing cups of beer and mixed drinks on him. I was only a few feet away but was helpless due to the masive numbers of people in red and blue. I truely felt sorry for the guy but like I said it was litterally a hundreds to one ratio. I'm pretty sure I was being eyed as a potential target. When the seconds long event had calmd a bit I tried to help the guy find his bell. I FELT BAD and actually a bit frightend, but I made it out with only a few middle fingers in my face and a bunch of 17s thrown my way. Id like to appoligize to the guy for not jumping in there with him, but I knew a losing battle when I saw one.
The walk to the game:
More middle fingers in my grill and a lot more 17 yous and DIAF comments.
The Game:
I was in the heart of an OM section. Lots of looks. I sat quietly for most the game. The two OM guys in front of me got into a fist fight with each other. I have no idea over what. Another fist fightseveral rows in front of me (two OM guys). Another fist fight across the isle from me (two more OM guys) Ive never seen so much infighting in my life. Old ladies flipping me the bird during the game. I tried to help the old gentlemen beside me when he left and he wouldn't accept my hand to steady him.
The stadium was ok... Something seems weired about the place and I never could put my finger on it. Just seemed weired for some reason.
Relf impressed
Perkins impressed
Masoli was overrated
Refs sucked. How do you call a penilty on Mcfee but not on the OM guy for doing the same celebration???
After the Game:
I raved on the traffic management before the game. I cussed it after the game. The wifes uncle went to get the car and was going to pick us up in the Grove at our tent. 11:45pm and we are still waiting on him. He calls and says he is in stand still traffic. We sit and freeze. I did get to see the end of the Ok - Ok St game though.
In summery:
99% of the OM fans at my familys tailgate spot were very hospitable but the OM fans everywhere else can go DIAF.
A BIG sorry to the State fan I didn't go to blows for on the walk of champions. It was just too many Rebs man. Sorry.</p>
