Behind enemy lines...
This weekend (though quite ill and against sensible judgment) I attended my first big sports event. Well, not my first. I had been to an ECU football game, (back when they were good) and to a nascar race (call me a redneck...SEE WHAT HAPPENS) but not in a loooong time. The event: NC State football game, compliments of the two wonderful state ladies Amanda and Katie as well as a ticket from Ried. Don't know Ried but...thanks man! I got to pose as Evan Burnette as he was kind enough to let me borrow his ID and it was good fun. There is nothing like walking into a stadium full of crazy fans.
I have to admit, it's was a bit awkward walking into a stadium like that not being a State fan. I had this feeling that the red shirt and hat weren't going to be a convincing enough disguise and that the drunken masses would tear me apart like I'm pretty sure they would have done to the Miami fans. From 300 feet away all you hear is the loud roar of the crowd and the loudspeaker. By loud roar...I mean LOUD roar. I felt as if I was in ancient Italy walking into the colosseum during a gladiator match. People were JUST as crazy, I'm pretty sure if the players would have started ripping each others heads of the fans would have just gotten more pumped. The game went south for State and towards the end the stadium was considerably less red than it had been. We left a little early and state lost...so sad. Aside from my running a fever I really enjoyed it. Bus rides and all.
Evan...hmmm...perhaps I should stick with Begaihol Bagdasarian
