What's this wet stuff falling from the sky?

For reasons too boring to explain, my route to work today took me past the hotel where the local alumni association is hosting the Friday night pep rally before the UVA game. It was pissing down rain, and there was a woman and her kids, all wearing SC gear, huddled under an umbrella looking genuinely miserable. Welcome to DC!

I hadn't bought tickets to the game, but a friend fell into two tickets and cheap airfare from LA, so we're going now. Apparently we are in the absolute last row, so if the shit hits the fan, at least we can rappel out and make a break for it.

The list of everything that is verboten to take into Scott Stadium is pretty lengthy - it looks like pretty much everything except for me and my wallet - but if they allow cameras, I'll take some pictures and post them after the game.
