re: Absolutely poetic.. the fog

I admit it was really cool the way it rolled in at the perfect moment. The fog, the sounds, the sights, and vibration in the chest, the racing heart, the drinks spraying up into the air as the mist came down, everything combined at the right moment to create an instant classic game with the totality of Death Valley’s mystique. Then in an instant, the field turned into a sea of purple and gold as the band played those four beats. The crowd went even wilder. The stadium breathed in and out last night. It rocked, it shook, it put on a show like nothing else I’ve experienced before - ever. I stopped to make sure I took it in. I’m an alum and a lifelong fan and have been to lots of games but I’ve never been speechless like I was then. I was in awe not only of what had just played out but I was amazed - and will forever be - at how fast Brian Kelly has turned the program around. It’s unfathomable. It was a great experience that everyone there will reference as a benchmark for a generation. I took it in without my phone in my hand, this was personal and it needed to be seen with the naked eye, not through my phone’s screen. Stood there with my wife for three minutes then we promptly made our way to the field

Agree on taking it in without the phone. I like to get pics and videos here and there but sometimes you just gotta put the shite away for a while and take it in the right way. Just be in it. Magical night that I’ll talk about for the rest of my life. It’s not that “ we beat Alabama”. We have plenty more of that ahead. Just the perfect storm to make it a perfect night . I haven’t drank in 6 years but felt dizzy and almost drunk when I went out on the field after the big play. Geaux Tigers !!

This!! I have like 4 pictures from that night and there were all taken at it was all starting to die down. Somethings need to be experienced without having a peice of plastic and glass in between you and it and that's been lost on us as a society.
I was a student from 2007-2011. The florida game in 07 from the student section has always stood as the pinnacle of Tiger stadium to me, and last night it was upended...and it wasn't close.
In an age of delcining in person attendance numbers, people treating game like a social media photoshot and all that, death valley was PACKED... the student section was packed so full they were standing in the asiles and it seemed not a damn one of them left early. Eeverything about that night was increadible.
Random aside...I have season tickets and a tailgate, but this was the first game I've made since my now 4 month old son was born. I bought him a plush Mike, by Mike's habitat that lived in my pocket that day and night..... I don't think he'll ever know how special it is...but it is.
