Count me as one who was looking for you, Mike...anyone! Went to Lot 3 where my son said parking charge was $25....for a car.... my family dropped me off so I could hopefully find any AZZers... Nada!..It was only when I saw the tape of the game that I realize that Mike WAS there, though he still doesn't answere his cell phone
Did go to alum tent and talked with several admissions staff and alum staff folks I know well, but that was it.We got stuck on Penn.T.Pk, had to get a hotel room in town about 20 miles E. of Pittsburgh... (it had taken us 2 1/2 hrs. to go 17 miles). My son in law had the foresight to call ahead and reserve two rooms. Proved to be a wise move as several folks were being turned away only about 2 hrs. after we finally arrived there. Thurs. AM, the TPK was "better" and we decided to forge ahead... stayed overnite after the game with my youngest son, who lives in Alexandria. Only sad thing for me was that my oldest son turned back before he got into the mess we'd been in, a smart move on his part, even though they had to travel back thru a whiteout toward Cleve. It would've been the first time in 5 yrs. that nearly all my kids AND grandkids would've been together, if my #2 son in Colo. had been able to fly in also. Oh well, my daughter, who did ALL the driving just said, "Dad, if BG gets the Military Bowl again sometime, we 'ain't going'". Couldn't say as I blamed her. It's the problem with cold weather cities hosting bowl games...but then watching Rutgers and V.Tech play in a monsoon brought back memories of Mobile the first time.
