UGA vs USC

Lea (my wife) and I ended up going to Columbia for the UGA game early Saturday morning. We met up with some friends that drove over from Georgia to tailgate with us. We left Summerville around 7:30 AM to head up to Columbia. After a couple hours of driving, picking up our tickets, and meeting our friends we found a spot to tailgate. The tailgate spot we picked happened to be next to a DJ and general manager of Tabu, a bar/nightclub, in Columbia. We ended up partying with them all day and night--free of charge. It was one of the most fun days I have ever had.

I have only two complaints....is it me or is Columbia, SC the hottest place on the planet? I swear it felt 10 degrees hotter than it really was. My car thermometer said it was 95 degrees out, but it felt like it was well over 100 degrees. I bring this up because the heat affected our day. As I mentioned earlier we had tickets to the game, but because it was sooo hot out we ended up selling them. So we watched the game at Tabu with about 15 people on 5 huge projection screens.

Secondly, Ohio State absolutely got their butts kicked by USC in the late game on Saturday. Now, I was born in Columbus, OH and was bred to love the Buckeyes, so Saturday was a little bittersweet for me.

Next weekend is going to be a lazy weekend for Lea and I. We have been going and going for the past couple weekends so our plan is to take it easy.
