Ya know, I feel all fuzzy now. *sniff*
Seriously, I met TJ rocket after the game and he was very cool. He came up and asked if I was Falconfreak and I said yes. He got a big ole grin and extened his hand and said "I'm TJ". Man, i was like not now!! But it was cool. He didn't talk smack, just said what a great game between two solid teams. We rapped for a while and then went separate ways.
I know we despise each other but yet I didn't hear any obscene language last night sitting in Sec 22...right next to one of the UT student sections. Sure there was the usual ribbing and back and forth stuff but nothing out of line. And I've been to the Glass Bowl the last 3 BG/UT games (although I am considering not going in 2006!..KJ
) and it's always that way. We both have idiot fans but I don't see a big # of jackazzes on either side. That tells me even though we despise each other, the respect is also there.
If you guys beat Miami, we'll each have 10 MAC titles. That's what makes a great rivalry. Both teams are solid and win half the time. I think in the last 36 games, each side has won 18.
Good luck at Ford Field and in your bowl game. I just hope BG can land a bid somewhere.
Congrats on a great comeback win. 36-29-4....pretty even series if you ask me.
