Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 4411652, member: 55"] ... since the Thunderchickens came to the Rent the year we opened it. I remember three things from that Saturday afternoon with my two sons, then 14 and 10: 1. We received the opening kickoff and then went between 70 and 80 yards for a TD, which I seem to recall came on a roughly 20 yard swing pass from Orlovsky to pre-injury Terry Caulley. 2. The game was winnable, but after the opening drive we couldn't put a drive together because every receiver on the roster came down with the dropsies on the same afternoon. It was amazing how many times Dan O hit someone in the hands and the ball hit the ground. I vaguely remember Keron Henry, the converted QB from Brooklyn, dropping a few. 3. That was the first time I ever tailgated. After showing up an hour early for the Indiana opener and getting to our seats just in time, figured we might as well leave two hours early and have a meal. So a cheap $20 grill without a stand from the drugstore and a simple meal of burgers, chips and beer later, a tradition was started. Hoping for a better result this time around. The game isn't critical to this year being a good first year for Mora, but it is for bowl eligibility and beating BC in football would also be its own reward. [/QUOTE]
