Football season!

So I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere Virginia (aka Blacksburg). However, football season is the one time a year this town actually looks like more than farmland. Blacksburg is home to the Virginia Tech Hokies, so the town basically consists of college students during the school year. But for some reason, the entire town is OBSESSED with VT football. I mean, we have 70 year old alumni holding season tickets. You'd think at some point they'd realize they graduated 50 years ago and move on with their lives, but no. This town goes insane every weekend there's a game. I work at Ben and Jerry's in downtown Blacksburg, and today (the day BEFORE the game) every other customer was already decked out in their Hokie gear. Not to mention, when I got off work I tried to go to Kroger, which happens to be in the same parking lot as our ABC store (aka the liquor store for those of you who don't live in states that have sate regulated alcohol sales), and there was not a SINGLE open spot. How crazy is that? This is definitely a drinking town with a football problem. Traffic tomorrow will be tons of fun : )
