I have been having computer problems. My trusty ancient laptop does not want to work. I am typing on a machine that is a bit foreign to me. I am screwing up left, right, and sideways. I will press onward and keep the faith.
I know a few have asked for some pictures of the visit to Lucas Oil Stadium to watch the Big Ten Championship game. My dear wife, Carrie, and I had a great time. It was my first trip to Lucas Oil Stadium. The place, the place that Peyton Manning built, is a testament to his endearing career and mark he put on the landscape of football in the Indiana…a basketball state. If you look at downtown Indy, it does not look like a basketball town. The football palace dominates downtown.
Carrie and I were for the Penn State Nittany Lions. We spent the night in State College a couple summers ago. It is a unique place. The school is the town and the town is the school. Kind of like another place I know rather well.
The first picture I ever took in Lucas Oil Stadium.
What a nice place.
The Penn State team won in a dramatic comeback. Down 28 to 7…they came back and won 38-31. Amazing.
On a display of Indiana Football legends, I found Vagas Ferguson. It was 1975 I think it says, maybe 1974. Vagas was the MVP of the Indiana North-South All Star Game. He then went on to Notre Dame to become their leading rusher at the time. He then played for a while in the NFL.
“Give it to Vagas!” “Give it to Vagas!” That was the battle cry of one of Vagas’ relatives at the Indiana All Star Game. My Dad and I were there in Bloomington that day at Memorial Stadium. They gave him the ball. He played well. It was another great memory I can reach in a pick out and see and listen to when I visit the home of the Indiana Hoosiers Football Team. Though I feel a little distance from them…for a variety of reasons….when I get into Memorial Stadium I still have fun remembering the good times.
I do hope I get my computer working again.
I need that old relic to help me to…
Speak the rights.
