Awesome Game

Today was the first day of the College World Series and the first game was the Razorbacks vs. Cal State Fullerton. We had general admission tickets, which are all in the outfield. At the CWS they oversell the general admission tickets and the tickets are good for any game. Therefore, it is first come first serve on seats. They stop letting people in when the seats are full. We were unsure how early we would have to get in line to make sure and get seats so we decided to go really early. We got in line about 3.5 hours before game time, which is 1.5 hours before they even let you in the stadium. We were semi close to the front of the line and got pretty good seats. We were in right field on the second row for half the game and then the first row for the rest of the game after some people left. It was a great game for the razorbacks. We were the underdogs but we played really well and ended up winning 10-6. Now we play our second game on Monday at 6pm. We have decided to stay for that game and come home after it is over. That will put us getting home between 3am and 4am. And we need to go to work on Tuesday so that is going to be a rough day. But, it is one of those once in a blue moon things so we are up for it. After the game we went back to the hotel to wash off the layers of sunscreen and then went to Omaha's downtown area for dinner. It was a pretty nice area, it looked like they are working on revitalizing it. We ate at a pretty good brewery and then went and got some coffee at a coffee shop. Now for some pics from the game.

Proof that we really are here (I think Russ thought we were just putting him on)
