And what fun we had! It was FSU vs. Wake Forrest, and it was a home game in Doak Campbell Stadium on Bobby Bowden Field. Just as they say, it was like entering a whole different world. A world that is louder than the normal world and full,
full, of die hard FSU football fans. It was awesome. Even though FSU lost and the offense honestly played horribly with 3 fumbles, one of which they recovered, and 5 interceptions. Ouch. The first offensive play FSU had was an interception. But neither Mary nor I, nor the large crowd gave up on the Seminoles. We all kept "Doak" "Rockin" until the last minute when it became all too apparent that we were not going to be able to pull off a win. The defense prevented any touchdowns but could only prevent 2 or 3 of the many field goals from sailing through the bars. In the end they scored 3 more field goals than we did. It was still a great experience. Here are some pictures.
First it starts out like this with the World Famous Marching Chiefs!
Next, this guy comes out on the field and tries to spear the Sousaphone players.
If these guys get caught it's curtains for them!
Then I ate a pretzel.
And then... FOOTBALL!
I am not clear on how the pre-game works so you may want to consult a manual or something. There are lots of chants that you do during the game which are totally fun.
Oh and when your team scores you have to yell : GOooooooooooooooooooooal!

Looks like you had a great time! Sorry my 'Noles didn't win for you. Last time I saw a game there, there were real Seminoles outside the stadium waiting to ambush the wagon train we rode there in. Looks like they even have indoor plumbing at that fancy new stadium. My, how times have changed. Hope you two get to go there again soon. Great pictures, by the way.
