My first real experience of UC football
Since we were downtown last year I did not get to experience 'real' UC football.
I could not believe the atmosphere on the grid before the game. That place was packed and I could not walk more than ten feet without someone offering up food or beverages. One of the best environments before a game I have experienced and I have been to a lot of college football stadiums. This got me extremely excited for some football.
Nippert was awesome. The students were freaking amazing. Fans staying through that monsoon was extremely impressive. Last night made me incredibly proud to be a part of this University.
Next Saturday cannot get here soon enough.

RE: My first real experience of UC football
Glad you enjoyed it Ash. I posted this on another board, but here is a good spot for it too...
Was in town to see my brother's family, my father, in addition to the game.
The trip down to Nippert was ominous, as my brother and I couldn't manage to get our sh!t together, and got down there probably an hour later than planned.
We split a growler, and headed toward Nippert at 6:30. At that point it began to rain - hard. We didn't really care. The entire day was hotter than hell, so we decided to enjoy the downpour. We were two of very few bothering to walk to the game, as most stayed huddled in campus bars.
Brother took a pic of me drinking a beer next to the Bearcat statue, then went in.
Walked around, took it in, and admired in awe! Temporarily sat down on a couple chairbacks under the structure, and watched the student section in utter amusement. They hung out in the storm, then began to storm the field. Got to the 50, then saw the cops methodically pacing towards them, and thought better of the situation. But the police were peaceful, respectful and reasonable from my view. Very entertaining scene.
HUGE crowd, considering the storm and delay. Probably cleared out quicker, since the delay messed with personal schedules, but quite a scene on Saturday.
We sat with Rath and Billy. Great time!
Oh - BTW, Alabama A&M's band kicks ASS! UC's did too obviously.
