Black and Blue and Parking Lot Gold

The North Carolina Tarheels came to visit the Demon Deacons this afternoon....and right now are probably wishing they hadn't! In what was a spectacular game, the Demon Deacons made sure that the Tarheels resembled their black and blue school colors. The final score of the game was WF 28, UNC 27. In a great 4th quarter, the Demon Deacons held the Tarheels to a couple of field goals from inside the 10. This proved crucial, as it allowed Wake to drive and score the go ahead with 2 minutes left. After that, a key defensive stand forced UNC to turn the ball over on downs....and that was all she wrote. It must be said that Wake played considerably better after UNC's quarterback was knocked unconscious trying to get into the end zone. As any good (and honest) sports medicine doc will tell you, getting knocked unconscious is a pretty good sign of a concussion....which generally means that the player needs to sit out. Fortunately for the Demon Deacons, UNC pulled a Coach Kilmer and ran the QB back out on the next series....when he fumbled allowing Wake to score a key touchdown at the end of the first half. The greatness of the game was only enhanced by the fact that we all rode together in one car, and used Emily's Gold lot pass to park next to the stadium. Its amazing how cutting out a mile hike to and from the car and preserve your energy.

Because of the game time, we decided to skip CJ's nap....she had other plans. Even the light rain did not stop her. I just kept her covered up with our game blanket and she slept like a log (and was probably the driest person on the hill!

Lily had no fear at the ball game today and ran and played with other kids....and even the wrong mascot! Here she is greeting the Tarheel mascot Rameses.

The stadium we are getting to know so well

Lily's picture of the marching band is actually quite striking with sunlight bursting through the cloud cover following the showers.
