I got to see the greatest first half of football ever played on Saturday as the Ducks took on #1 ranked USC. We were rollin 4 deep (Adam, Cobly, Freels and myself) but we only had 3 'standing room only' tickets between us. This was my fault as I was 99.9% sure the system could be worked, I was also willing to walk home and watch it on tv if the worst case scenario were to play out. So the plan was to send Adam, Cobly and Freels in with tickets, Adam would then leave the stadium with 2 tickets and meet up with me to figure out the requirements for re-entrance. Unfortunately they had thought about hoodlums like me and stamped everyone upon entering requiring a stamp and a ticket for re-entrance. Adam and I attempted the spit stamp transfer technique, but because it was a word it required a double transfer; the end result was a faint green smudge which Adam and I both determined would be unfit for inspection. I still had a few options: (a) walk to store, buy a green marker, attempt a stamp recreation. (b) have Cobly create a diversion as I run through the gate. (c) go home and cry. (d) attempt Jedi mind tricks on gate keeper with a low metachlorian count. After scouting several gates I found my mark, armed with only a ticket stub, a Coors Light "buzz" and the knowledge of 6 Star Wars movies I was able to weasel my way in without incident. After securing our standing spots we waited about 2 hours for the game to start. I had little to no voice left by the end of the second quarter and I came close to passing out a few times while depriving my brain of the oxygen I was instead using to confuse USC's offense and yell at the refs. It didn't work quite as well in the second half but I still had a good time and of course I stayed to the bitter end with my game posse. Unfortunately the game posse left shortly after the game and missed out on pizza with Kristy's parents Clark and Jennifer. Clark was in rare form, and good times were had by all. Here's a picture of the game posse in the 4th quarter of the ass kicking, it was an emotional roller coaster.
