Regardless, it was wet, cold, and glorious! Nobody could speak after the game (horse from screaming and chanting). Oh, by the way, Kris wanted everyone to know he's the man to beat when it comes to demonstrating for the team. During the off season, he's apparently learned every single Section 8 chant. Although the words "Doh-doh-doh" seem to come up a lot, but none of us know any better so until proven otherwise, he's the man.
The only blemish on the game came from a few fools in the Section 8 area that thought it would be a good idea to bomb Matt Reis with soda bottles and other crap. The fire should install a wiener cam over there so they can eject/revoke season tickets from the ding-bats who never learned sportsmanship! Also, Section 8 have decided to use a couple of their "blue" chants again this year. My opinion, bad for the sport - bad for the club. If parents want to instruct their kids on four letter words, they can take them to a Bears game. Word of advise to Section 8 - keep it clean - keep it fair. You can either be a point of pride for the club (which I think Section 8 is 99.99% of the time) or an embarrassment on National TV. Choose wisely.
Due to the inclement weather, we cut the tailgate a bit short. But Tania did great with chili and chocolate chip pan cookies, and we did manage to fly the Flags (half staff) for about an hour before the rain made us pack-up. Here's a video take just before we went into the game (umm...we had a few refreshments prior to filming...).
Post game, the Fire put on a great fireworks show. They launched them from just outside the practice field. Since we parked in our usual spot, we were subjected to an intense salvo of incoming mortars and rockets. Intense.
Well, that's it. Next attended game vs. Colorado Rapids. Look in the side bar of the blog for a poll - what do you want to cook for the Rapids Tailgate Party?!?
GO FIRE!!
