The first WV college football game of the season was today… and a huge rivalry… WVU vs. Marshall. The game was being played in Morgantown… and tickets sold out right away. So, thousands of fans were not able to go see the game live. However… since baseball season was over yesterday, the football game was shown on the giant video board at the baseball park. Admission was free, and a couple thousand people, including Ric, Nic, Mom Cochran, and I, went to the ballpark to watch the game. It’s fun to watch a game like this in a crowd… and be part of the clapping, cheering… just getting caught up in the atmosphere and excitement.
This conversation took place mid-way through the game:
Mom C: Why don’t they play on their own field?
Ric: (assuming she was talking about Marshall)
Well, next year they will.
Mom C: Why not now?
Ric: Well, in order to have a game, they have to play together.
Mom C: I don’t get it.
Poor lady… we had her so confused. She thought WVU was located in Charleston… and both colleges and fans drove to Morgantown for the game… instead of playing the (football) game, right here on their “home” field at the baseball park!
And later, at home:
Mom C: Is anybody hungry?
Jeanne: Oh, no.
Nic: No way, I’m too full.
Ric: Noooooooo. I’ve had too much to eat already.
Can’t eat anything else.
Mom C: Are you sure?
All: Yes! Nothing else. No thanks.
I left the room to take out my contacts, brush my teeth, and wash my face. Came back into the family room to say goodnight to everyone. Mom C was serving the guys grilled cheese sandwiches! Guess she talked them into being hungry!
