Memphis vs. Tennessee

So the BIG game, Memphis vs. Tennessee, is already over. There was such anticipation for this game. All my friends were making plans weeks before, but I was never really sure if I was going or not. I thought it would be fun to go and experience such an important game but I was not sure if I wanted to wake up early. I decided I would leave it up to my boyfriend and in the end we choose to go. Friday night we made plans to get up and leave with his friends around five for the game. I at this time was starting to regret saying I would go. I knew it would be cold and I would not want to get up. I did not want to be a bummer on my boyfriend so I decided just to suck it up. Saturday morning the boys came and started waking us up around 4:30. Both my boyfriend and I were a little relentless to get up but we did it anyways and got ready to go. We all packed up and left and went to McDonalds then headed to the Fed Ex Forum. There was already a line when we got there so we just took our place and began to wait. We had to stand in line for over two and a half hours before getting into Game Day. It was so nice to get inside and thaw out. I was dumb and only wore one pair of socks so my toes were freezing. It was hard to walk down the stairs my body was so cold. So I made it to Game Day, which was pretty much ESPN doing their show with us in the background. The first 30 minutes were fun but then it got kind of old standing up and cheering then sitting down over and over again. My lack of sleep also started to hit me. We went through Game Day then went back outside to wait again for the game. We got our wristband so we were guaranteed a seat at the game but we were almost last in line. We decided to leave since it would be another 4 hours or so and we would not even have good seats. Everyone we went with ended up getting separated from us and got way up ahead in the line. They were all disappointed we didn’t stay but we did not want to skip and be with them or sit in nose bleed. In the end we went home took a nap while everyone else stood in line and then watched the game on TV. I am now glad that we didn’t stay since they lost. I wish they would have won, but I know I would have wished to stay if it was a good game.
