Sea of Blue and Spots of Orange

this weekend with my family i went the last game of the play off season to see if UK would be able to play in the new years eve bowl. they played Tennessee it was a close game the whole time, but losing was not in the sight of all the UK fans rooting on their team all they could see was victory. people blinded by the haze of alcohol to see that we were to chicken to run the ball in the last 30 seconds to try and get a touchdown. no we had to go for the field goal which we made but only tied us to put us into overtime. freezing up in the nose bleeds with my cousin Jessica we decide to go look for the rest of the family, having been separated by seat numbers. going down to their aisle all we see are the dads and my sister Marcie. having no phone reception we cant get hold of the moms and my oldest sister Megan. Jessica and i freezing decide overtime isn't worth it the fans behind us were going out of control. jumping and screaming, high fives, and special water to wet their throats, we decide to go looking for our moms. on the way down we ran into a sea of blue with spots of orange in the middle not knowing which direction to go in we just start to speed up the pace, and try calling our moms as we descended the stairs we found out where they were and raced down to see them hoping they could get us warm. once we saw them in bottom level it was a sprint to see who would get to their mom first.

this game experience wasn't over yet we had to wait until the game got over to head back to the car with the boys, but at least now we were a little warmer. watching the end of the game on the big screen we saw the end of the game, only to watch UK fall down and Tennessee run the ball to the in zone during the overtime. after that long time of standing in the cold the people above ready to get to their cars to warm up stamped down the stairs and beneath it sounds like the stadium is about to fall down on us as everyone swarms down the ramp.

surprisingly i only see one fight and lots of drunk people, but the experience was a great one. this only helped me to anticipate college even more, not being able to wait to see every game the way those UK college fans did, with maybe a little haze blocking my vision as well.
