College football season ends...

Well, another college football season has ended and as I look back it was probably one of the best for me. It started when I saw Syracuse play Akron in the Carrier Dome followed by a visit to Memorial Stadium to watch Clemson host North Carolina State. Jay Adcook and I, along with our wives, attended the Syracuse-South Florida game in Tampa in October. I then journeyed to South Bend to enjoy Syracuse's win over Notre Dame in freezing weather. The University of Central Florida moved to it new stadium last year and I went to two games there this year. It is a good stadium which was built for a mild 55 million dollars. As I watched the Univ of Alabama- Birmingham defeat UCF, history in this new stadium was already being made in that it was the first game in the new Brighthouse Stadium where no touchdown was scored. That will be a trivia question in 2062!!!

As the season came to a close I enjoyed the Florida State / Wisconsin game in the Champs Sports Bowl in Orlando. The above pictures show the Florida State Seminole mascot as he and his horse roam the sideline. Next, Florida State throws a first quarter pass.

The final game for me this season was the Georgia / Michigan State Capital One Bowl on New Years Day. Pictured is "UGA" the Georgia mascot posing for pregame pictures and the Georgia "Red Coat" marching band. Another interesting trivia fact. The week before the Michigan State / Michigan game at E Lansing, several members of the marching band camp out at the Spartan statute to keep Wolverine fans from spraying it yellow and blue.

That's it for now, anyone with information to post send it along. Happy belated New Year to all.

On the road, actually water ways...
