This'll be our last year sitting in WB watching our "Cocks" play. 47yrs it's been. Jubilation to heartache, driving rain to pneumonia, dead battery & walking up Rosewood @ 2AM to reading Sunday morning obits just to reassure myself no one was injured or worse as I navigated homeward from WB.
The future has past us by. Many memories derived from sitting in those 2 seats all these years. From applying reverse Nelson upon unruly drunkard outta state of GA, his wife thanking me cuz "he can't get no more jail time"! (Her words,not mine) to watching my boys experience "Black Magic".
We'll try, one more time, this year to relieve WB of two very worn, well worn, fanny impressed "Corner Pantry" most uncomfortable seat attachments for our memento shelf, security be damn.
Age, keeping up w/ the Jones'es as in NIL, bigger is better, mo money, mo money has stifled us. Age primarily. Our seats turn into boxes.
The future? Lot of really passionate, well coached football & baseball in the HS ranks within 15 miles of us. Gonna find an ole wooden HS stadium bleacher to relieve Ole HS memory, drag the bride underneath for a kiss. (Know what I mean?? Yeah you olden geezers know). Might even wear my old football, moth eaten letter jacket. If it'll fit. Yeah, going back to my childhood roots, High School sports & watching Gamecocks on TV.
