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.

Running out of water was just unacceptable. But that was the ONLY thing I found to criticize. Best time I've ever had at a football game.

Good point, hadn't considered that.

Just stop, that makes too much sense. My brain must have been too hot to think of doing that even though I did get a couple of cups of ice. DUH! But, the ice didn't take very long to turn into water on its own.

I mean.... Are they trying to be ironical with those jumpsuits? Must be. They GOTTA be. They are supposedly college educated - at least partially.

Trust me, I thought of everything including buying the icy cone thing and telling them to hold the colors.

Everywhere I went they were outta ice. But maybe I didn't traverse far enuff around.

So I went to Tiger Lane and bummed a bottle of water from tailgaters who were watching on Teevees in the shade. lol

Thanks! I could watch that all day. Snap, snap

It was, indeed, a wonderful day. Along with a lovely Vandy win.

We snuck in our liquor, as we have for every game since being in HS.

The kids running the concession joint (lower level near Sec 116-115) were just so slow but the lines weren't long when I was there not long after kickoff to get our Cokes for the liquor. Drank on it all game.

Maybe you should change your memphistigers.org screen name to "48-45 Best Time I Ever Had"

Where did you put it? I was gonna slip in a flask and actually could have put anything I wanted in my clear bag. Nobody paid the least attention to what was in it.

Of course, my buddy btiger's prediction yesterday?

Bluebacker: "Did you take or lay the points?"

btiger: "laid em. we gonna get torched"

Not sure if I'd call losing to Cal by 11 a "torching", but hot shot Shea needs to stop throwing pick 6's. At least Ole Miss gets a week off to rest up before getting beat from pillar to post across the state of Alabama the 2 weeks after that.

I believe we also saw one of our own board members get honored down in the south endzone during a timeout. A true Memphis Fan.

Who was it? I was late getting to the game because of getting my routine hair cut at Sports Clips, which by the way is owned by a huge Tigers fan.

That works for Beale Street Music Fest, too. ;-)
