 Game
Sketch
Wet, wet, wet....is definitely how you would
describe the September 8th ballgame. As we set up for tailgating, we knew
there was a chance for rain but didn't expect a monsoon. After moving the
tailgate tent, the thunderstorms rolled in and dumped inches of rain. We
persevered and cooked up a great supper of spaghetti, salad, and great desserts.
The first game, in the newly renovated Reynolds Razorback stadium, was about as
wet as the tailgate. In fact, the start of the game was delayed as well as a
portion of the game due to the storms in the area. Arkansas scored first and
remained in the lead until the 4th quarter, but with no real offense Tennessee
scored 2 field goals and a touchdown to claim victory over the Hogs.
