Four in Four weeks

I'm three weeks through my journey of four stadiums in four weeks. It hasn't been a bad tour thus far.

It started in Tuscaloosa, Ala. for the Alabama-WKU game. Although WKU lost, it was my first taste of SEC football first hand and I was impressed by the whole atmosphere.

Stop number two was a place I'm getting more and more familiar with. Houchens-Smith Stadium. The tailgating is great and starts really early in the day. It's a very intimate setting and provides for a great backdrop for college football.

The third stop was Commonwealth Stadium in Lexington, Ky. While Bryant-Denny in Tuscaloosa proved superior to the Cats' efforts, they should still be commended. The folks there have something they're not used to--a good football team, and they're doing a good job of embracing things.

Lastly stop number four will come this Saturday and be my favorite place, Memorial Stadium in Lincoln for the Nebraska-Missouri matchup. Missouri hasn't won there since the 70s and look to do it on Saturday. Im already excited.

The baseball playoffs start this week. Of course, my beloved Royals missed out on them. What a crying shame. Nonetheless I think they'll provide plenty of excitement.

See you soon!
