Rumble at the River

We had a wonderful Labor Day weekend... my last class Friday was cancelled on account of my Pre-Calculus teacher getting swine flu, so my weekend started off at 11 o'clock!

Saturday, Julie and I woke up early and went to Cincinnati for the Miami vs. UK football game at Paul Brown Stadium... aka the Rumble at the River (although, I would say it was more a smackdown by UK)

The unfortunate score did not phase the Miami fans, who came ready to rumble! The contrast of colors in the stands looked so neat, UK in blue, and Miami in red!

At half time they even honored sports teams from Miami who had gone to national championships including the hockey team.

We sat in the student section. It was so nice because we were in the sixth row, and our tickets were only $10!!! For a price of $20 a student got a ticket to the game and a "Rumble at the River" t-shirt and for $30 the student got a football ticket, a t-shirt, a bus ticket for the spirit bus and a free concession pass (which would have been one-hundred percent worth it considering how expensive the concession stand is!!)

Lots of Bengals players came to the game. Carson Palmer was on the field, and Ray Maualuga was working the stands (I took a picture with him!)

The weather was gorgeous outside! It was the perfect day to be cheering on the Redhawks... even if they didn't play as well as expected.

WATCH OUT UK... WE'LL WE BACK NEXT YEAR!!!!
