Let's Go Tech!!

Who would have thought that wewould have been able to get a sun burn while watching Michigan Tech play football in October? On many occasions, I have seen snow and cold weather at this point of the season. Today was a great day to travel to the University of Findlay and watch the Huskies.

On the way to the game we dropped Jacob off at Grandpa & Grandma's house and were then escorted with door to gate service for the game. Findlay shares their stadium with the local high school and parking is limited once you are able to find the stadium. It is in a residential area with no parking per say.

The quantity of Tech fans rivaled the quantity for the home team and maybe even surpassed them. There was an impressive showing for the away team who was 12 hours from home. An Oiler fan even made a comment to us at half time.

The game was a good and close as the lead went back and forth. Tech had a few big plays and Findlay had one with the help of the refs. It was 3rd and short and the Oilers ran a short run which did not give them a first down, but the refs gave about a yard or two (yeah, literally! it was just crazy the whole day!!). The next play was a reverse pass for a 25 yard touchdown. Tech went ahead ahead 30-28 with about 6 minutes left in the game and missed the extra point. This definitely gave the Oilers a shot at going ahead with a field goal. Possession went back and forth and Findlay was pushing the ball up the field for a field goal. With about a minute left in the game, Tech intercepted for the first turnover of the whole game. At this point, the Huskies only needed to kneel down and the game was over.

Amy and I were happy to take Jacob to his grandparent's house and be able to see a good game regardless of who was playing... (well, that might be pushing it a bit). It was great weather and a great game.
After the game, we made the call to get picked up from the game. It was pretty funny because it brought back memories for Amy when one of her parent's would have to pick her up after an event.

Jacob is definitely feeling better, but still not himself completely. He slept the whole two hours there and then the whole two hours back. We were concerned that he would not want to go back to bed until after midnight, but he is already fast asleep and playing around a little while after we got home. His appetite is also beginning to come back. We'll have to wait and see what tomorrow brings...
