As my car was to carry the “stuff” for the tailgate Saturday afternoon, there was room for only one passenger and Tom Sugrue volunteered to help set up the table, chairs, etc.
We arrived at the entrance to the preferred tailgate area at 2 pm, 30 minutes before it was to open. We were the first car in line. And soon after the gate opened, we were ready.
The rest of the Moss Beach group was to arrive via Uber a bit later in the afternoon. Meanwhile, we were soon joined by Lissa and Brian Tsu from the San Diego alumni chapter, Chris Lamb from the Bay Area, and an increasing number of BC alumni.
Too soon, it seemed, it was time to go to the game. As mentioned in the first post, our seats were pretty good. Here’s the view.
The performance by the Eagles didn’t match the quality of our seats. Tied at halftime, BC didn’t score again and allowed Stanford 10 second half points to give the Cardinal their first win of the year, 30-20.
Here are some snapshots in the stands.
A great day. A disappointing evening.
The drive home
The trip back to Fallbrook took two hours less than the drive north. Two basic reasons: it was a Sunday and, when I got to the LA area, I took the inland freeways instead of the coastal ones.
