We were traveling during the home opener, so yesterday’s ASU football game was our first of the season. It also marks the start of my 39th year(!) as a season ticket holder. Whoa!

It was a bit of an ugly performance imo, but I’m glad we got the win and could enjoy our traditional victory “champagne” toast during our post-game tailgating while the traffic subsidies. I’ve dialed down my investment in the team (and sports in general), but still have a good time tailgating with friends and enjoying the stadium atmosphere.
