JANUARY 8th--
Drove by the home of Raphael Semmes and located the Ladd-Peebles Stadium. Went to a Books-A-Million and bought a Pearl Harbor magazine, World War II book and Civil War book.
We had planned to take the bus to the stadium, but didn't want a repeat of last night's disaster, so drove. We had no problems other than lack of signage as to where we were supposed to park. Mobile seems to be real good at supplying you with partial directions and information and letting you figure out the rest on your own.
We finally were surrounded by NIU Huskie fans at the tailgate party, a great relief after living in ASU-land since Friday. Great barbecue and drinks before the game.
Mobile did a great job filling the stadium with locals. Northern had maybe 2,000 fans and Arkansas State over 8,000 and those guys were pumped and got even louder as NIU did nothing the first 12 minutes and they led 13-0. Northern finally rallied and had a 21-13 lead at half.
We went on to win 38-20!! Sure took those boisterous Red Wolves fan out of the game.
I didn't think the game would ever end. It started at 8 and the last second ticked off at 11:59 PM.
Stuck around for the awards, then got lost going back to the motel.
