Now I’m the cool friend

[CC Mac]

I’ve been going to games for 55 years.
Sat through oppressive heat,extreme cold,rain and snow.
Went to games by myself when I couldn’t give away a ticket.
I’ve had numerous surgeries and health issues the past 4 years so I have not been physically able to go to many games.
But I bought tickets for Nebraska,Washington and Michigan.
I was in so much pain yesterday I was almost in tears but I don’t regret going Saturday for a minute.
I’ve been waiting for this for 55 years and if I had to crawl I was going to be there.
My Dad started taking me to games when I was 10,sure wish he was still here to see this.
Now my IU basketball buddies who have given me Hell for wasting my time and money on IU football are hitting me up.
Sorry fellas not a chance but enjoy another winter of Woody 🏀

I took my dad and brother to the game this past Saturday. I am Getting older and some of my best memories of going to games as a kid. We had an absolute blast together.

On a side note, I was actually at the Rice game when Coach Cig was a coach there. Needless to say, they got an ass whooping that day.

I went to a game every year, only could make one due to my pain, and took my adult daughter and SIL. The night games were the best for me riding home 3.5 hours after the game. Now I can't get to the games but watch on TV and for the first time my wife watches and gets excited.

That’s awesome,making a lot of new fans this year.

Makes me pleased to be a Hoosier hearing about Hoosier families now enjoying IUFB games. The fanbase grows.

We’ve only had season tickets for 25 years now. Your post is awesome. I can relate with a lot of your post- hopefully we’re finished getting made fun of for going to IU football games. They want to go now, get your own tix and park in BFE.
