Today, dad and I took Faith and Mari up to Oxford for the big Miami-Kent State game.
Stand back.
Okay, in fairness, I used to go to Miami games a lot, back when my brother was in college there. It is, at its best, a wonderful football atmosphere, a beautiful location, just on a small scale. Which is a good thing.
But the team has struggled of late and the energy seemed a bit lacking today. Admittedly it was a typical early October day in Ohio - temp in the upper 50s, overcast, steady rain. But after just having read Gina's post, I couldn't help but compare. At any rate, it was a good day, the girls were wonderful, and we got to see cousin Kevin march - very entertaining Queen show, I must say.
Some pics - enjoy, Gina and Cliff...
Dad sprung for some sweatshirts for the girls - and it was a good thing too, they would have been absolutely drenched if he hadn't:
Big crowd for the opening kickoff:
When the rains came, it REALLY emptied out:
We had the whole place to ourselves.
Time to get out of the rain - game over. Miami won, in case you needed to know.
