Great game, enjoyed it but the back & forth and heat were tough on this old man. Great team effort, this team has some real promise.

Heck yeah, even if I spent more trying to replace fluids than I spent on my seat

The only thing that got torched was my face and the back of my neck.

We lathered on the 70 SPF on Tiger Lane, thank God. Arms, face, neck, legs. At 9:00 we knew it was going to be toasty.

I absolutely did. But they were free tix and free parking, so there's that. Got to sit with players families in sec 131. Sat beside Patrick Taylor's parents - really nice folks. Saw plenty of recruits having a good time. Saw Tubby with recruits, too. Would have paid face value and still been worth the money. Great day. Tiger Lane was hopping.
Workers did a good job with traffic movement, gate flow. Only 2 complaints. At the risk of sounding like the guy in the other thread, they did run out of water before halftime. That is TERRIBLE planning. They knew all week it was going to be a big crowd on a hot day. The other thing is not all the cctv's were working. They were on and showing nothing but static. A few people dropped the ball on those items. But not Miller and not Magnifico.

That's why God invented beer.

There was some vendors that said that bottled water inventory in the Southeast is way down due to most of it being sent to Texas and Florida. Sounds reasonable.

That was a Great Game, the Tigers played some Football today.

You can park free all the time on the city streets.
I paid $4 for a cup of ice and then $4 for a Coke to put in it. How do you run out of Cokes? I was very hungry but it was too hot to eat. I just tried to stay hydrated.

Great game, but it was pretty bush league to run out of water before half time. My 3 kids can't drink beer. And the smokers have got to gtfo. Go Tigers!

Here is a tip for you all. Buy a $4 coke. Then, go back to the stand and just ask for some ice. Walk over to the restrooms and fill the cup with water from the drinking fountain. It's not rocket science....

Yep
I do the same thing every game.

When the concession stand ran out of bottled water at Sec104, they provided free ice water from the tap. I thought it was pretty gracious.

Yes even though I booked my flight the night before. Ouch.
