Nippert, The Skinny
Went with 3 buds to the title game. All dressed up in our UH gear. I gotta say, I was impressed with the day. The tailgating in the commons was cool. Food and beer trucks lined up. Had the OSU Baylor game on the big screen. What was really cool that at least a dozen different tailgates invited us in for a beer and a snack. "Welcome to Cincinatti." Prevailing thoughts were you guys scare us, (nothing to lose) and, we are so glad to be getting out of this %^$# conference. Agreed.
The Nipp was awesome. Great support. I was really sick of that damn chant by the middle of the 3rd. Crowd was into it. Definitely a P5 atmosphere. Students loud, band was into it. Our coach basically said after the game said that was the atmosphere we need every game in Houston. Outside of maybe Louisville in 16, we have had nothing remotely close. Sad but true. Your community is behind you. Campus was pretty. Garage parking was a little inconvenient. Seating in the upper bowl was quite honestly a joke. Seats were literally maybe 14" wide. I go 235 and my buds are bigger. Myself and another guy finally just went to the lower bowl and slapped a 20 to the stadium guy to let us sit in a couple of handicapped seats that were not in use. Place was packed out. Bathroom facilities were high school at best. Gotta improve those.
Wont talk about the game. Your squad is salty. Ford had to pick that game to get going again. Basically a Alabama transfer carved up a pretty good G5 defense. Desmond Rider is a once in a generation QB. Would have loved to have Gunnar Keil back there, we may have had a chance.
On the way out, shook a bunch of hands. "Shock the World". "F the Establishment"
Had a great time. Looking forward to more games in the future.
