Had a nice roadie tradition for a while, 4 of us alums and our spouses, all around a Stanford football game.
Annapolis/Navy. One of us lived in DC and showed us a great time.
Chicago/ND: Marecic scored his back to back TDs in front of us. Got out of SB ASAP and enjoyed Chi-town to the max. Sunday brunch at the House of Blues.
Orange Bowl, $18 mojitos in Miami Beach, ouch. But what a great game.
Durham/Duke. Just like in the old Stanford Stadium, our seats were on the goal line but the place was empty and we moved up to the 40. My first exposure to chicken n waffles with fried okra, Sunday morning.
NYC/Army. Saw a Broadway musical Fri nite, took the ferry up to West Point Saturday, spent Sunday at MOMA. What's not to like?
Chicago/ND the second time. Too wet and cold and ND the second time loses its cuteness. Plus the late kickoff meant our spouses had to wait until 9pm for dinner.
Fiesta Bowl. Paid way too much for "VIP Box Seats." Still waiting for the Hand of God to guide those FGs through. Maybe Maradona should have been our kicker.
Dishonorable Mention to LAColiseum/USC back in the day. We had those wonderful seats in the end zone bleachers courtesy of the Toejams, it actually rained most of the game, we got pasted 49-0, and I think all the scoring was in the far end zone.
