Date Nineteen: Football Game

For date nineteen, Darren introduced me to Beamer Ball.



Hokie bird, meet Lauren.



It was a gorgeous day for a football game! And we had lots of quality time together for the car ride there, a few hours for the game, and the ride back. Fun stuff!



I learned all kinds of quirky things. Like, when the band plays a certain tune, you are supposed to say "H-O-K-I-E-S, Hokies!" and on the third down, its called a "key play", so everyone gets out their keys and shakes them. And at the end of the third quarter, the fans do the Hokie Pokie. Darren did fail to inform me, however, that a freakishly loud cannon goes off after the national anthem, and I nearly had an accident in fright. He found it hilarious.



And there is lots of good food to be had, too. Like turkey legs. And barbecue chicken nachos. Yum!



The Hokies did not disappoint.



It was a good day to be a Hokie.
And... then we came home, ate pizza (we never tire of eating...), and watched Bama run all over Tennessee. That is always a good ending to a good day!
The only thing that could've made the day better is if Auburn had lost. There is nothing worse for a Bama fan than watching Auburn hold your former #1 spot. Oh well, Thanksgiving weekend is coming, boys! ;)
Football date = A+
