Frankly, I don't want to remember this day, simply because of the outcome of the game... BUT we had a fun tailgate in good company, which I suppose makes up for the horrible loss and horrible weather throughout the whole game.
My Dad, his friend, Jill, Aunt Judy and Uncle David, my cousins Andy and Becky, friend Eric, Becky's bf Tommy, Bryce, and I all had fun getting pumped (and filling up on the typical tailgate food: hamburgers, brats, chips, dips, ...) for the hokies' first home game at Lane Stadium.
High 60s and raining the whole time, we left the game 3 hours later, freezing and dripping wet with pretty low hokie spirit.
Then we went to a nice dinner at The River Company Restaurant & Brewery with my Dad and his friend, Jill. We had delicious dishes and soon (kind of) forgot about the loss. Bryce and I particularly love their steaks, ribs, and sweet potato fries. We finally tried their "Dry aged" beef. Check out this page about the difference between wet-aged and dry-aged beef. The dry-aged rib eye that Bryce got (on the right) was awesome! And on top of my spinach salad was some dry-aged steak.
By the end of the day, we retrieved our hokie spirit back and then remembered that we don't worship football, but an awesome God!
Go hokies!!
it WAS a wet, cold, depressing game. i'm hoping this weekend proves better, from all angles! :)
