For those not attending the game today...

**cyclonedave25** · 09-03-2009, 10:34 AM

You are not alone.. Today will be my first time in 5 years not attending a home football game. I'm sick to my stomach. I miss tailgating. I miss the gameday atmosphere. I miss all of the people in cardinal and gold. I miss heading to the tailgating lots with a case of beer in my hand and my friends at my side. I miss all of the people filtering into the stadium as kickoff nears. I miss the loud roars from the crowd. I miss the CYCLONE POWER cheer. I miss everything!!!! Sometimes I wonder, why did I take this job in Chicago??

If you are going to the game today, please drink a beer for me and cheer your *** off for me.
Go CYCLONES!!!!!!!!!!!

If I have a Cherry Coke, will that be good enough? I plan to keep the cheering up strong.

I think you better put a little whiskey in that cherry coke. That will help you cheer even louder. Trust me.

I as well like the Cherry Coke.

I will have a drink for you, but it will not be a beer it will be a little mix between Captain and Coke

.

GO CYCLONES!

First time in 10 years for me. The real world bites.

I dont think cops will like hearing the excuse, "I'm just drinking for CycloneDave because he couldn't be here tonight." Someone else might have to take care of that for you lol.

FAIL!

I know it's the thought that counts, but I can't promise to think about you the entire time. Maybe the first beverage we'll toast to all who are there in spirit.
