Pattapit

I actually like to look up the stats before running my mouth... all time vs the *ucks is 58-40-5...

Even if they made this streak double digits, we would still be up double digits. They have been somewhat relevant about 10 years with some sprinkles before that.... but speaking of past, they finally got their first Rose Bowl victory since something like 1917. I guess they have finally lost the title: Always a Bridesmaid

You a little confused there LSUintheNW?

*uck logo yet claiming to be a fearsome tiger?

Go grab your towel and enjoy Donald's D some more. You BBQing some Milfoil this week for the tailgate?

Wanted to stop by since it's *uck week. Our most hated rival ever.

Checked your schedule to see who you're playing and while it's not your most hated rival, I wanted to say... I'm not really fan of Florida and I hope you lay a whooping on them!!!! Geaux Tigers!

with some rejuvinated D (after laying into Stanford) we might be able to slow the *ucks down a little bit, but we are down to 7 healthy OL... it is going to be a long night on the offensive side.

TS- from the outside looks pretty normal, but sitting up at the top it was simply massive. I guess being able to see everything helped out. Tailgating aside, the chants are spot on and everyone participates which makes for a friggin fun game. I could feel some nervous tension when we got off the that ridic start, but at no point did the crowd get quiet or lose the muster. Needless to say the crows was awesome!

I think my favorite thing about the stadium was the views. Looking out over the buildings and the river and such. It was awesome! Now it doesn't really compare to Husky Stadium :booboo: but it is completely awesome compared to every other pac12 / Qualcomm and other bowl games I've been to.

I think the most impressive part for me was the tailgating. I mean, I know everyone parties and has their thing, but I would consider us the best travelling fan and the best tailgaters. I've never seen anything like 90 in and 90 out. There are a few people who tailgate and don't go to Husky games, but the volume of them down there was mindblowing!

Now for the surprise ending...

Wake up Sunday and have a few hours before we have to leave for airport... So, I decide to head down to the block my phone was on and try one last time. Walk into all the bars, yadda yadda yadda.. no luck

Well, I'm not really a strip club kinda guy (I know, you're thinking: Uhh you like to party...) but I digress... walk into some and this guy opens up their lost and found cupboard and takes out a black phone and I see a while debit card under it...

Does that debit card say: Kris?
Him: Yup!

My brother's smile was priceless....

I'm a big boy and can get a new phone, he however, is moving to NYC and I just dropped him off at the airport. Two days after flying home, flying to NYC with no phone or debit card would have been BRUTAL. So, fate shined on us a bit and life is good!

Flew home on Sunday (my 5 year anniversary with the wife) and told her how much I missed her and I was glad to be home

For both games, Seattle and here. I wish we would play more often-probably the best road game I've been to, and their fans are knowledgeable and quite fun to hang out with.

Thanks! The feeling is absolutely mutual.

We made our way down and found another Tigerbait chant and headed in. This tailgate had BBQ Chicken to die for... and more beers than we could drink... we tried. These guys have a weirder shot preference than the vodka/ Pickle juice and that is they were taking shots of Vodka and Pepto Bismal.

Now my motto is that I'll try anything once... so he poured one out and I shot it. Given at this point it's circa 3PM and hot as the dickens it was actually one of the most refreshing shots ever. It helped with the Jumbo b/c I'm a spice pussy and it also made my mouth taste fresh for the first time since I brushed them before the party bus. Definitely a shot I'll be doing more of when it's hot out...

Nothing extremely crazy happened until the game and it was the standard drinking, me singing to "call me maybe" like a D bag, etc. I specifically asked the 2nd tailgate when I needed to head to see Mike and the band and he said I had about 15 min. By the time I left and made it down there... Mike and band were long gone. Being a fan of tradition I was really pissed to have missed that.

falling asleep at 6AM and having to be on the party bus at 9AM is very rough, however, we were greeted with the gem I put in my signature. The only thing we can come up with is that in the bathroom, you cannot masturbate while cowboys are pooping!

about 1AM is where this night gets interesting. I begin to have cognative thoughts and we are walking down bourbon street and I cannot find my brother. So, Storey and I just say, well, he will find his way... he did last night! We decide it's food time! Our favorite bartender tells us we have to take a left out of the Swamp and head towards Canal St and a few blocks down take a left and there is a sandwich shop on the left hand side a few businesses down by the pizza place. We try that and boy howdy! those were ridic! Storey and I continue our walk to Canal to head back to the hotel and we get approached by a couple of girls from NYC. Storey instantly throws down his sandwich and begins to game on them. I decide (and maybe it's that I'm 300lbs) that nothing is getting in the way of this sandwich and I politely tell them that they will have my full attention once the sandwich is gone. Next thing I know I'm at the Bourbon Cowboy, sandwich gone, two really beautiful girls on the horizon and one hell of a wingman game that I need to pull.

hahaha... so I'll explain why it took so long. I don't have a phone still! The way I accessed this before was my phone, I just jumped on at work yesterday and then obviously checked my email (priorities on the order :lol:) and then after going through about 300 emails I realized it was 6PM and wifey was at home with our 10 week old with dinner ready. I sincerely apologize on the delay. FYI, it was a man trip, my wife and baby didn't come.

So, yeah, jumped off the plane and met up with my buddy Storey (appropriate name, right?) and we go to the hotel first (ambassador). We cannot check in, but we precheck in and drop our stuff off. Go to Cafe and get our pre-binge meal on. At this point we are the only two out of our immediate group of 4 b/c my brother is still on a plane and Mike is also travelling still. So, we decide to sit on the banks of the Mississippi and enjoy and build excitement for what is coming. Make it to our first bar (the swamp) about 20 min before they open. Then insert bar scene... noon - 4AM. We ride the bull, game on girls, etc. Standard procedure. Little browning out, bits and pieces the main point is that we ended up at the casino. I remember playing some slots with my brother, getting a few more drinks. I wake up at 7AM and I'm in bed. There was never a point where I went back after 3PM to actually get a room key.. so not really sure how this happened.

I look over and Storey is passed out in the chair trying to get the jambox to play country music with sportcenter blasting on the TV. Mike is passed out in the bathtub. I look over and say... Storey, where the F is my brother. He's like, "dude, no clue, I've been sitting here since 10PM. I got really drunk". OK, do you know where my phone is? "No". Then the room phone starts ringing and I answer it. It's my brother, Kris, "Dude... I've been walking a while... what F'ing room are we in?"

I will provide a recount... of what I can remember :booboo:

That comment about Cafe O'lait is simply the first thing I'm going to enjoy! I will not miss the rest, trust me!
