H-Day

G-Day - or as our overall experience came to be know, H-Day - was a great day interrupted by a boring bout of sputtering, slick-handed offenses and restrained defenses. The Moviegoer and I met JINX at our usual tailgate spot only to find that Stealler1 and the LTDx crew were nowhere to be found. After a wild goose-chase to the Stat building, we finally found them, chillin' Kappa Sig style, maxing, relaxing, and giving bad directions. Aroo was working the griddle and serving up breakfast, there was plenty of different beers to choose from and arguments galore about religion and politics.

This was a football/bachelor party crossover day, as HW1 will be tying the knot soon. He's a contributor here, but he's maybe posted twice and has been too scared to do anything since new year's. Since we were celebrating him as well as Spring Football, we declared the entire event H-Day. The name was actually thought up by our friend who I've nicknamed Baltimore Oklahoma, or Balty for short (shout out!).

Around 11:30 we moved to the Stadium and chose a nice sun-baked seat to burn in while the Red held a 3-0 lead for about 3 days. The sun and the boredom drained us, but the Red shot the stadium electric with a tying FG late. Hooray! A 3-3 tie in the third and the whole fucking nation watching on ESPN. Nice.

Eventually Red exploded for another field goal to go up 6-3 and we left shortly afterwards to reconvene at Trappeze. Trappeze is the best beer pub in the world.* We drank great beer, ate pub food, and talked, but I was dying. Quick. The sun, the game and the big beers were putting me to sleep and I wasn't the only one. We needed some pep in our step.


We worked our way to Allgood around 6:00 and things picked up. We saw G-Day high(really, low)lights on ESPN, watched the Braves-Nats and Yankees-Royals, and all regained some composure through the dreaded use of those Red Bull-infused alcoholic beverages known as bombs. We had bombs of the Jaeger, O-, and Melon variety and then Aroo started in with the Tequilla. I know we shot our way through two bottles and then...
