Are you ready for some football

For a couple of years now Cameron has had season tickets to University of North Carolina football. Now its not that he has turned his back on his beloved Miami Hurricanes, but he has friends that are UNC fans and they decided to get season tickets together. Its kind of like a guys day out, except its 6 or 7 times from August to November, the best part is that every other year Miami comes to town and he gets to put on the orange and green (and go trade seats with someone in the visitors section). Well this past Saturday was the first game of the 2008 season in Chapel Hill and we (Cameron and Laura) went to the game with Scott, Karen, Heather, Ron, Ray, and Gary. The day was about as humid as it could possibly be (90 deg f with a heat index of 110) and the weather forecast called for thunderstorms, and for once the weatherman got it right. According to Accuweather.com it was going to be cloudy at 5 pm, 6 pm, then thunderstorms at 7 pm, then clearing at 8 pm through the rest of the night. Just before 7 pm the game was suspended due to lightning in the area and we stood under a shelter while it rained and the lightning flashed over head until about 8:30 (hey that’s 30 min late) and then we went back into the rain soaked stadium to finish the game. UNC hosted McNeese State and the game was close until the very end when Carolina pulled away to a 35 – 27 victory.
