My first cousin is getting married and chose Idaho over the better games to do the deed. So to all my south endzone brethren, keep my seat warm.

It is around 150 home games in a row. Started in the GBFTL 93-96, student section in 97, south endzone corner in 98, moved behind the goalposts 99-2012.

See you for Towson to start again!

I am in 417
Split the uprights. Love the seats. It is like beachfront property that I scooped up before it was developed. In 98 I was asked to pick where I wanted to sit anywhere in the stadium. That was before TFund. Glad I choose where I am so my TAF fees stayed reasonable.

I wanted to be that old guy in another 30 years that could say that I went to every home game for 50 years. Oh well, something will come up out of my control again eventually.

F that. Do not break your streak. He probably won't make it to 5 years. You can always make the next wedding.

Either way.. a 20 year streak is nothing to be ashamed of. That is a pretty solid feat. I hope one day I will be able to do the same.

My niece is getting married Saturday evening too. All week I've been fighting with myself over how much I actually love and care for my niece.

I hated to give away my tickets to go to the wedding. Going into the weekend the thing I'm most looking forward to is the Cox replay on Sunday night.

My son was born in 2003 and we induced so I could go to the first game of the season. He was due the day after. So we got him out a week early. His first year was our national championship year.

I wasn't raised in Louisiana but I now that it is pretty sacrilegious to plan your wedding during LSU football season or hunting season. I refuse to go to weddings that interfere with LSU. I know someone that had their wedding during the Bama game last year! I also did not go to my cousin's wedding in the Virgin Islands because I could not be guaranteed that I could catch the game. I said that he would have another wedding and I would be there for that one assuming no similar conflict. I was correct.

No weddings during football season. It ought to be legislated.

Your cousin should have picked the Towson game instead of Idaho. Towson is not a real game.

I need to count how many games that was... First game in 93 through Washington. Anybody bored at work and feels like counting that out. Streak only includes home games.
