Rob had to get to the stadium early for work, so I rode with Drew & Caitlyn to campus. It was a fun game. In the 2nd half there was lightening, which we couldn’t see. It ended up getting closer, so the game was delayed. We hung out in the corridors of the stadium, but we kept seeing lots of lightening. We elected to wait for the rain to slow down and then…
