I hope our game day person was at the Kentucky game and was taking notes. Just an outstanding presentation in the game - music, video and highlights, etc.

Wow, take care of yourself, hopefully no major issues.


Not very pleasant, but I didn’t get it as bad as if I had no vaccinations. The worst thing for me has been sleeping nights. Tremendous sweating and wild nightmares. The nightmares are so weird and non-stop.

That's exactly how I felt the Monday after the game. But I was vaxxed. By Wednesday I was fine. Hope you feel better soon big guy.


I started feeling like crap that Monday night, but I’ve had it for about a week now. I guess that’s what I get for kissing people at the President’s reception. Sure hope you weren’t one of those I kissed!

There is nothing I would change about it except for the game result.

I wish they wouldn't do that stupid race between Victor E Huskie and the Sonic hotdog guy. The Sonic mascot goes so slow that you know the result won't even be close before they even start the race. Just dumb.

I heard Dog Fan was chasing after the Sonic Hotdog after he was told that that they ran out of hotdogs.

The only other P5 stadium I’ve been to is Iowa State. And they have a grotesque scoreboard and booming sound system. It really adds to the enjoyment of the game experience. Though Iowa State’s scoreboard is so big it’s gaudy. Video and sound would be transformative at HS.

RE: Gameday experience?
Waaaaaaaaaaay back when listing facilitiy improvement projects, I picked the south end as my top. Idea was a bigger videoboard on top a formal Touchdown Village building east-west along the end zone. Videoboard would have live action, instant replay, stop action, slow motion, zoom and split screen. Idea was/is to compete with the mass of big-screen TVs people have at home. Still would take it as my #1 project at HS.

Get well soon, DF.

I've been to the Grotto and drank at Lord Stanley's (the Annex) enough to know that I'm bulletproof.

Thanks. Feeling much better now. If I had only spent more time in the Grotto, I’d have immunity from anything! That’s the excuse I’m telling my wife.

Huskie hasn't lost in 2 years maybe more. Lol.
