Husky vs Duck Football

This Saturday was game day! The UW Huskies played the Oregon ducks here at Husky Stadium. It was the last football game at the stadium as we know it. They’ll be remodeling for the next two years, and all the games will be played at the Seahawks stadium in the meantime.

Saturday we had people over for some food and drinks before everyone headed down to the E1 parking lot of tailgating.

Everyone was late getting to our house, but when people finally got there, we played some flip cup, ate some food (chili, corn bread, salmon dip, chips and salsa and guac, monkey bread, etc), had some jello shots and got excited for some Husky football.

everyone but me: 

Two of Dustin’s friends came up from Portland for the game. They all went to UO together, so they were rooting for the Ducks. WHATever ;) ha

somehow Dustin and I managed to get along despite our school rivalry (haha):

After a few hours of hanging at our house, everyone headed down to the stadium. I left  with Dustin and his friends, Alex and Pickle last. We walked through campus to get to the stadium. I love the UW campus, it’s so so pretty! We pit stopped at Suzzallo Graduate Library along the way:

you can’t really tell, but it was a really nice day, you could see Mt. Rainer in the background in real life:

After our pit stop we walked down to the E1 parking lot (the HUGE stadium parking lot where everyone tailgates), and tried to find my friends. We failed a little, and I got annoyed by UW fans (mostly drunk sorority girls, BOO) throwing bread at Dustin and his friends (feeding the ducks or something), so we left E1 and walked down to the water by the crew house then to the “zone” for some drinks and food for the boys. I hate when fans are rude to other fans. I really really hate it actually. I don’t understand the game day shit talking and things.  It just seems silly to me. KINDNESS, PEOPLE!

After that we went to the stadium to watch the game. We sat in the UO section, which was a little rough for me, but I didn’t catch too much crap because I was wearing a black coat over all of my purple. It was REALLY cold out! But I did wear my motherfuckingBEARhatRAWR! all day, and that kept me warm. Also Dustin bought me a box of hand warmers and some foot warmers which I used during the game and they were seriously life savers. I was so happy to have them!

Dustin and I at the game:

The game was a lot of fun. The Huskies ended up losing, but I kind of knew they would (Husky fans don’t hate me for saying that), so I wasn’t too disappointed. Also we didn’t get totally blown out, so that was a positive.

AND, I saw my friend Heather at the game. We went to high school together, and cheered together, and I don’t think I’ve seen her since her wedding so it was really great to catch up a little at the game.

After the game Dustin, Alex, Pickle and I walked back to my house before heading to Dustin’s house to relax (it was like midnight by this point). It was a really fun game and I’m glad I got to go with Dustin. I’m also really glad that we didn’t lose by like 50 points!

GO DAWGS!

Guys, I'm getting really excited for this weekend. This week's UW football game is here at Husky Stadium (the last game at Husky Stadium before the remodel) and they're playing UO. I'm going with Dustin (who is a duck fan, since he went to undergrad at UO), a few of his friends, and a bunch of my "sisters". Also, my friend Noelle is coming into town and staying with us for the weekend along with her BF. She is one of my (our) sorority sisters who is in her 3L year at Marquette. Rude of her to go to law school so far away, right? 

We're having people over at our house for snacks and drinks before the tailgate. Prefunk the prefunk, right guys? Anyway, we're having pplz over then we're walking down to the stadium for the game (which is at 7:30pm on FSN. you all should watch (and look for me haha)). 

And now here are some pictures from the rainiest ever UW football game against Stanford (from last year). Cross your fingers for better weather this year. There is a 30% chance of rain with a high of like 46degrees for Saturday. FML. Beer blanket, here I come ;)

Go Huskies (duh)

In case you didn’t already know I went to the University of Washington for undergrad. I heart the Huskies. True story.

Last Saturday I went to my first football game of the season. UW vs. Hawaii

We started it out with an awesome and delicious brunch at our house (me, Erin, Kylee, Elizabeth, Stephanie and A Jo). We had eggs and cinnamon rolls and hash browns and sausages and poor man’s mimosas (bud light + OJ) and real mimosas too. It was delicious.

I crack myself up:

I got a ticket from my friend Lisa who has season tickets with some of her friends. One of the friends couldn’t go so I snatched up her ticket. YAY!

After brunch we walked to the stadium, tailgated a little then headed into the game.

Lisa and I love Husky Football. Also I wore a purple dress because it was HOT outside! I loved that too!!!

 

I had also never sat at the top of the stadium before. There was a great view of Lake Washington. And if you looked the other way you could see the space needle. I thought that was pretty sweet. I still think the Space Needle is a cool landmark, even if I have been in Seattle 6+ years now.

And at the end of the game, we won and I liked that. A lot.

The end.

P.S. GO DAWGS!
