Maple Street Loop

I walked the Maple Street Loop this morning in 31:09. In about an hour, I will ride with an old friend named Kirby Shoffner and his brother in law Blair Griffen to the Liberty Bowl in Memphis. The Razorbacks will play Kansas State this afternoon. We're going without tickets and hope to get in for five dollars or less. These are two men I often went to games with from circa 1986-89 but not since. I saw Kirby for the first time in at least fifteen years when I was with the Hash at E.J.'s a few days before Christmas.
The Razorbacks beat the Kansas State Wildcunts, 45-23. The game was a sellout, tickets went for $75 to $85, and  five of us got in for a total of $45. Ples Spradley, another of the old gang, and I got in for free. We offered a woman $10 each and she said, "Oh no, I just want to give these away so they don't go to waste."
Our seating arrangement was fantastic, the best anyone could possibly have ever experienced at a sold-out bowl game. I mean anywhere ever, outside of someone who offered space in a private box where they were handing out free blow jobs. This trip was the most fun I have had surrounding a football game since a couple of high school state championships I went to in 2005, or maybe the Vilonia drummer game from the same year. I'm telling you, I laughed at least once a minute, nonstop for twelve and a half hours.
