BS. The heat was tough and the concessions are not set up for this yet but Btown was great, we left town at 9:30.uc fan here. one of my guests disappeared for the entire third quarter in order to visit the concessions. Returns to tell me they were out of water.
Just an observation - it appeared that the town and school were not prepared for so many people.
With the excessive heat, multiple verbal profanity-laden assaults for merely wearing the wrong team’s t shirt, crappy shuttle service, traffic gridlock…even with the victory, b’ton was not the pleasant experience I remember from the past.
Left immediately after the game and drove to Louisville for a good meal.
My non-UC fan friend from Austin, Texas, was DONE with Bloomington. There was nothing I could do to make him hang in town. I guess when a third young man yelled **** you at him (literally within inches of his face) while waiting for the shuttle to the game…he was over it.
Never experienced anything quite like it.
And, yeah, the crowd did thin a bit at halftime. Not mass exodus, but it was a little thinner.
BTW, i thought you guys were showing up in droves??? What happened?
