It was yet another wonderful day on the beautiful campus of UCF. The rain didn’t put any damper on the phenomenal tailgate we had this week. Setup shop at 10:30am and had a Cajun themed tailgate, from the menu to the music. We had shrimp, red beans & rice, gumbo, smoked sausage, and chicken creole. The food was AMAZING and having the Cajun music accompany it gave it that extra special touch. Oh and fyi, Rain + Boccie = Good Times, for the record.

As for the game it was another dominating 1st half performance followed by a less than stellar 2nd half. Can’t complain too much when the good guys win 37-19, we took care of business when we had to. The defense played a great game, and I can’t type any more without saying how Kevin Smith is the man. 223 yards on 33 carries and 3 touchdowns, it was his career high in yardage. You could hear a pin drop when he went down with his injury, sounds like he’ll be okay…let’s hope so.

Now for the crappy news…this game was the first game I’ve forgotten my camera in who knows how long. Luckily I had my old camera in one of my tailgate bins but it was so crappy that I hardly took many pics and most importantly I couldn’t take short videos of the Zombie Nation madness (you could feel the stadium shift!). The pictures I do have should be posted sometime on Sunday.

It’s on to ECU…eight of us are leaving Friday after work to make the drive up and support the Knights in person! It should be a GREAT game.

GO KNIGHTS beat the Pirates!
