Date Night with my Sugar

A date night in the middle of the week, including college football and $9 beers?  Count us in!! 

Jen's cousin, Christine, scored some Sugar Bowl tickets from her boss and she offered us the opportunity to come into town and go in her place.  With a little last minute switcheroo at work, I took off and we drove in from BR, hung out, got the dudes ready for bed and handed them off to Gaga and Pops so we could head out.  Pops was able to drop us off close to the dome, and we were on our way.  Anytime we can get out of the house together, we try to take advantage of it, so the Sugar Bowl game between OSU and Arkansas was as good an excuse an any.  It is funny going to a game that you have no real care on who wins.  You get to do some real people watching and see all the Arkansas fans chanting "Woooo Pig Sooooooeeeeee!!!!"  Sure we were rooting for Arkansas and the SEC, but that is still a ridiculous chant.  We had great seats in the 300 level and sat next to some nice OSU alums from Metairie who were in the band back in their younger days.  There were way more Arkansas fans, probably about 70%, but they still couldn't pull it out in the end.  That one hurts fr the SEC...no one likes losing to the Big Ten, especially Ohio who had previously never beaten an SEC team in a bowl game.  Oh well, we still have a few more days to kill before LSU takes on Texas A&M...more important than an SEC win - we got out of the house!! 

Thanks Christine (and your boss) for the tickets, we definitely owe you for that one!
