- Toledo sucks. I mean really sucks. We definitely played down to the competition tonight. But, it was a rivalry game on the road, so a great win.
- Toledo's dance team sucked, too. Horrible.
- If slUT spent all that money on the renovations, they could have at least bought some WD-40 for the air conditioning unit I sat under. It sounded like a blender was running the entire game.
- Dropping cows with parachutes from the rafters is a poor attempt to imitate Flinko. It doesn't even come close to the Anderson Arena favorite.
Agreed UT was awful and we didn't play very well. Still I'll take the win.
You must have sat in the same area as I did because that AC was annoying as hell the entire game.
I liked the dropping cows thing. It wasn't an imitation of Flinko, IMO, it was a re-enactment of the Chick-Fil-A commercials with the cows parachuting. Whoever caught one got free Chick-Fil-A, much better than one person getting to play for prizes, IMO.
The arena was somewhat disappointing, but definitely a vast improvement. Didn't seem like they did much with the seating sections on our side (although they did replace the ugly multi-colored chairs). The scoreboard, was gorgeous, however. Seriously, we can only hope for a board that nice in the Stroh. The renovated lobby was pretty nice as well, but the part that used to be the old lobby was pretty much same ol'. It's a vast improvement over what it was, but still feels like Savage in spots. I guess I expected it to be like a whole new building. Either way, the scoreboard makes it worthwhile.
This was the first time I have ever seen a win in that building.
