OK. I’ve Decided to Go to the Game. Here’s my Logic...

I’m old and retired. Not rich by any means and on a fixed income. Wife still working her way towards retirement with not too much longer to go.

But we’ve raised some good kids and in a couple of cases gave grandkids a good start. They’ve all moved away. I told the wife at Christmas that maybe we should start thinking about doing something for ourselves.

She said that there’s only one thing that she really wants. To be in the dome to see the Tigers win the NC.

So we are going. I’ll try to rep all of us with a TD sign if we get good seats but money isn’t really that important to us anymore for several reasons. I missed it in 2004. This is my last chance. I’m not going to miss it. We don’t have tickets yet but are looking at several packages. Probably not buying until about a week.

Oh. Almost forgot. No pics of wife. Gfy.

I was in attendance in 2007 w/ my dad. One of my favorite memories as an LSU fan. Sort of entered a euphoric state for the rest of that night walking out of the dome.

I certainly hope not, but I don't disagree with living this way. You're retired and have adult kids, so I have no doubt you've earned any special treat you give yourself. Have a great time and bring us a W.
