Black and Blue Turns Gray
October 24,2004
Sunday was a tough day. Lots of ups and downs. We woke up to a cold rainy
Sunday morning. After a few last minute details in loading the BigBlue Van.
We headed uptown in the rain. That’s the down side. The up was riding to
the game with my dear daughter Casey. Its really cool to share all the great
tailgating friends with her. I know she had a great time tossing the ball with
Kevin, Chris, Jason and Earl. Check out that arm… We are hoping for D-1
softball for her. But I digress
It was good to have Albert’s brothers from Pittsburgh visiting the our little
celebration. Rumor has it those boys are taking a couple of pounds of good
ole Carolina Pork Barbeque. Brenda still loves having Albert at the tailgate
party even though he is a Pitt grad. She is a WVU grad. We will see how
friendly they are after the Backyard Brawl this year.
Lots of great food. Kathy’s cheese cornbread oh yeah. Good stuff all the
kabobs were gone quick. I think we hit the mark. You know a great thing
about tailgating is getting to sample the food up and down the lot. Ashley,
Jessica and the Greensboro Crew set me up bigtime with a chicken “Philly
style” Cheesesteak sandwich. Awesome…then they threw on some tender
smoked sausage. My good friend Big Jason brings us some crab cakes and
flank steak. If the Panthers had been playing like the folks in our lot cook…
We would be well on our way to Jacksonville.
We all were prepped from a big game… the opportunity to turn it around.
We toasted with the good stuff. But for all our toasting and drinking efforts
our boys just could not put together enough plays to win the game.
Jacksonville is looking further away with each passing week. We don’t need
to worry about Jacksonville right now anyway. The Black and Blue have a
long trip to make. Seattle - plenty of expensive coffee, lots of grunge
rockers, and perfect place to live if you like the smell of fish and your favorite
color is drab gray. Go Panthers.
