My first game as a student, but since I couldn't get student tix that year I was in my family's seats.

One of the most unforgettable games I've been to. Bizarre game all around. There was the monsoon, then it got incredibly humid after the rain passed, and the field was caked with mud. Stayed up all night to see Gameday (NEVER AGAIN) so the rain delay was extra draining. I was on fumes waiting on kickoff, and my second wind, to come.

There was a combination of relief and jubilation after he missed the last XP. I couldn't believe it until I started hearing others around me begin to shout out:

"HE MISSED IT! HE MISSED IT!"

Derek Anderson played a hell of a game that night, kept getting the ball out on the 3rd step of his drop before the any Tiger could get near him. We were fortunate to win that night.

My first game as a student. Had to work that night at Applebee's on Seigen. Worked the smoking section. Tables let me watch the game and told me they'd call if they needed me . Man that feels like yesterday. I literally still remember the clothes I tailgated in before going to work. Remember the Bush/Chenemy stickers they were handing out in the CEBA camper lot. Man I'm getting old. So damned hot. Thankfully I left for work before the rain.
