Today we went to the ASU vs. Elon game---Homecoming---and we had a BLAST!!! At first we thought it was going to be a difficult day as we had to squeeze into our normal seats. There was room further down the row so I finally asked folks to slide down and explained to them that these were our season tickets that we had purchased prior to our knowing that foreign exchange student was coming to live with us. They reluctantly agreed as they pointed out they were taking someone else's seats and we agreed that if these folks showed up....we would have to regroup. The lady beside me seemed real irritated so I tried to strike up a conversation and before I knew it....she was telling me all about the new Boone High School and the weather in Boone....so it all worked out. Even when the folks did show up....Matheus still had more room than he did initially.....he is just a little thing and doesn't need much room at all....ha.
The game was a nail biter.....and ASU played their hearts out.....I LOVE watching this team....they NEVER give up! Elon played well. There was one Elon fan sitting behind us who kept yelling for them....her friend was laughing hysterically as I think he was embarrassed because every time she would yell 'Go Elon,' everyone would turn around and look at them. This may have been the purpose....she did have an Elon shirt on too....brave girl...lol.
Matheus LOVES concession stand hot dogs....go figure!
ASU held on to win in the end 34-31....the difference was a running TD scored in the 2nd quarter by Cedric Baker...it was only 6 points as we missed the extra point....but this turned out to be the difference as Elon came back and scored a field goal and these three points difference was what won the game for ASU. It was exciting to watch.
