I'll never hear the end of this.

[Eric15]

My son and I were supposed to come up for the game today. We spent about three hours in the car and got only as far as York, PA where there was a massive accident that shut down all of I-83 North. All the rush hour traffic heading north was being diverted to side streets, and it was just a gridlocked nightmare.

I made the executive decision to turn around and go home, and instead come up for the Duke game in a few weeks. It would have taken us 8-9 hours instead of the usual five and a half. My son literally cried because he gets so excited for these games and then refused to talk to me for most of the ride home. I finally won him over by saying we could stop at McDonald's on the way home and he could get a Quarter Pounder with bacon and a McFlurry, only to find out in the drive thru that the ice cream machine was broken.

Mid-4th quarter we were feeling good with my decision. Now I'm going to hear about it until the day I die.

You have the absolute worst luck man. Went last week, went to Pitt? Stanford? perhaps it’s good you weren’t there

Your son seems like he’s got a good head on his shoulders. Even in the face of adversity, he didn’t want to give up. I like his attitude.

I know the feeling.

Ever since I said, “I do.”…

Don't forget about at Va Tech two years ago which was over in the 2nd quarter.

But I did come up for Va Tech and Miami in the Dome last year, so it all evens out.

 

[Cusester]

Wait till I show this to your wife!

How old is your son? I was at the Brominski throw back game as a teen... and we left at halftime despite my protests. Watched the comeback alone in the basement and walked upstairs "hey we won"

He just turned 11.

And you have every right to be bitter about that forever.

Meh, it's just UConn... he'll get over it.

To be honest 41 year old me was questioning if I even still enjoy football down 17-6 in the 4th

I would say that you made my day with that story but earlier today, at the Dome, , my day was already made.

It could be worse. My mom and dad had season tickets in the McNabb years. My uncle and cousin went to a game with them and decided to leave early.

It was against VT…

 

[sabach]

Eric. He has you for a dad. That's a win your son will always have.

I like his passion. He’s a good fan.

there is no such thing as rush hour traffic on a saturday.

the most you wouldve been delayed is 30mins to an hour.

Most Syracuse football feeling. I was explaining to someone else the lows are LOW but without them the highs are not as HIGH.

Basically Socrates I know ^

I was at that one. Sat opposite corner of the Brominski catch.
