The First Day of Football

As I mentioned last week, we are huge college football fans and couldn't wait for the first day of football.

Locally, Old Dominion University launched their first football season in 69 years this past Saturday and we were at the game. We happened to be tailgating with the man whose name is On the stadium. Needless to say, we had prime seats from our tailgating spot to see a lot of action.

The ODU Monarch mascot went by and paused for a picture with me.

Then the Marching Monarchs cruised past our tent.

By taking a few steps towards the stadium entrance, the football team walked by to cheers from their fans.

Then I met this guy -- Mr. Subway who was walking around with his accomplice trying to sell $5 footlong subs.

The first thing out of Mr. Subway's mouth was, "Yo, can I have a sip of your beer. It's hot in here."

Let me think about that, Um, No!

My beer was almost full and I have a thing about people backwashing that I Know. So I convinced Tim who was almost finished with his Corona to give Mr. Subway the rest of his beer.

It's hard to tell but he's chugging it under his subway costume. Nice tights dude.He said he could get fired and I said, don't worry, I just have a blog where I share pictures with a few hundred people a day. *Cue evil laugh.* I told him to google "Mr. Subway" sometime this week.

Because we were invited to the suite of the stadium's name-sake, we were treated to a catered buffett, multiple adult drink options and a great view. Along the way, there were some recognizable faces such as the republican governor candidate Bob McDonnell and his family plus a few local sports newscasters.

It was fun to see how everyone got so excited about football returning to ODU and they won their first game. We left early to get home to watch Virginia Tech play Alabama with not as favorable of an outcome.
