HOMECOMING

7:00 AM.

Busted out the field. Participation isn't what it used to be, but I can still beat Jesse.

A VERY sober crowd.

Even DB and his lovely bride showed up!

Rascals !

Hitting the road after a LONG day of catching up with old friends.

Michigan

Tuns out the short-bus is not an economical long-distance tailgate vehicle. So Reeser and I just took his truck up to Ann Arbor. While not short-bus related, in light of the victory, I thought a photo was warranted. That place is awesome. I saw the Illini win in the Big House - let's hope that becomes a little less rare.

See ya all next week at Homecoming!

Family Day - September 13 - Louisiana Lafayette

Heading Out - 6:30 am.

Good thing we got a bus - had a lot of passengers.

Heading down to Champaign in the Short-bus. What could possibly go wrong?

In retrospect - it is a pretty good story. Oh well, at least nobody got hurt, it didn't rain, we finally made it to Champaign, and I got to spend some quality time with the shoulder of the Eastbound I-74 lanes I don't often get a chance to walk.

They found a way to get over it pretty quick.

And so did we. Go Illini.
