Who would have seen that coming? Certainly not us. Being all working class stiffs, we got a late start yesterday. We finally made it to the lot around 5:30, about 3 hours before game time. They almost didn’t let us in the lot because they were done with over-sized cars (I guess talking to the lot manager the day of the Steeler game paid off, he remembered us and let us in after the attendant called him up). There was a perfect spot right next to this things.
We finally have a full car load for the way up to the game too, 2 in the front and 6 in the back. We decided that since it would be a short stay in the lot we would just do pizza, chicken and jo-jos (those are fried potato wedges for you non-Akronites, they seem to be a very regional food). We hung out just trying to figure if there was a way to not get embarrassed on national TV tonight. Boy were we wrong in our thinking. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect night as far as the weather goes, about 65 and clear. That had to have been a good omen.
We headed into the game at about 8:15 and were hoping for a good show, we were not disappointed. The offense looked like the one from last year. The o-line dominated the game. It was good to see Ryan Tucker back in at Right Tackle, he is a mean SOB and gave the line a kick in the pants that it needed. DA had all the time in the world last night and was able to go through his progressions to find the open guy. The D made big plays when they needed too and the world champs were made to look like chumps.
I still can’t believe it really happened last night. Let’s hope that was the start of something good for our Brownies. We won’t be down in the Pit again until November. Maybe the limo will have to venture out for something else in the meantime.
GO BROWNS!! TAMPA BOUND IN 2009?
