JoeBags7277 734 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 The USC game in 03 (the first game I went to) was by far the hottest and most miserable game in my personal experiences. That was also the first game I went to. Its been a while, so maybe you've forgotten if you ever did notice, but you don't happen to remeber seeing the USC band have to get up and move in the middle of the game, did you? Or anyone here who may have attended, for that matter. Why did they move? One of those stories no one will probably believe, but it is what it is. They were seated right in the middle of the seats my guest and I had. We were a bit shocked and unsure of what to do, so we grabbed an usher and showed him our stubs. He then got the attention of some university official and asked us if it could be arranged for us to get better seats if that would ameliorate the situation. We took one look at each other, looked back at him,and said "nah, we want our seats." The official said "you got it", pulled aside the USC band director, and informed him they were in the wrong spot. We were too far away to hear, and couldn't read lips, but the band director was none too pleased, probably even more due to the fact that he knew he didn't have a leg to stand on. So the two of us watched in glee as the entire USC band got up and shifted over a section or two to their proper seating arrangements. You gotta enjoy the small victories on a day like that, right? Like I said, I'm sure someone will , as they are welcome to do, but I watched it all go down with my own two eyes, and its a memory I'll happily take to the grave.

looney 794 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 For two consecutive mornings, I've been able to drive to work in Atlanta with the windows down in legitimate pleasantness. That's NIP enough for me. 25 days, 4 hours, 31 minutes. WDE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

passthebiscuits 6,831 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I was walking past barbecue house today in auburn and the smell took me there...then I heard a group of students talking and laughing and as I passed by a couple gave me a "war eagle!!!" all that was missing were the auburn shakers tucked away in the boots. Downtown looks great, the scoreboard casts a shadow down to momma G's, and the nip is getting closer for sure!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchased tickets to the opener for some friends and myself from the Louisville ticket site today. I nipped a little. I did that for the SECCG a couple years ago. We owned the Dome. Guessing we will for this game, too. I still don't know whether or not I can go to the opener, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ber798297 241 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 For me, it's more than a temp... It's weird but there's a smell to football season... I can't describe it but it's a smell... We're almost there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lca408 366 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Cut grass is definitely a football smell - but mostly that reminds me of Friday nights at the HS games. The smell of charcoal and lighter fluid, or if you're a purist, hickory smoke, is a big one for me. I think taste is too - drinking a cheap beer like Coors Light or Miller early in the day is a huge "nip" moment. In Auburn, I think there's a specific smell or sense that you get while walking around for tailgating but it's almost indescribable - sort of a food/outdoorsy smell. It's all good.

Definitely a BBQ smell mixed with cut grass and falling leaves??? It's hard to describe but it's right around the corner... Cooler temps factor in but not a definite since it's usually still blazing hot in JHS on a September Saturday afternoon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potatooooooes!! 1,366 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 In all honesty, I've avoided this thread for the longest time because I thought this was a thread about nip slips. Having said that, I still feel dirty, but thinking about Saturdays in the fall gives me the fuzzies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
