ACB Sings the National Anthem!

More pictures of Anthony singing at yesterday's Gary Railcats game are here. The anthem was pretty much the highlight of the game, although the kid in the Kermit shirt winning the air guitar contest was not bad.

"To kick off the football season, on August 27, 2010, you and 11 of your friends can have one of the most memorable evenings of your life, on the 50-yard-line of Ryan Field! While seated at a candlelit table in the middle of the Wildcats football field, you will be served an elegant dinner under a waning gibbous moon. Your celebrity wait staff - which will include coaches and administrators from the athletic department - will be at your beck and call, and the entire evening will be photographed by one of the athletic department staff members!"

This blog is not dead!

I'm seriously considering buying season tickets to Northwestern football this year. You have to have season tickets for all five home games in order to buy tickets to the game at Wrigley. I can always make 11 a.m. games, and I can sneak a Saturday or two off for the Purdue night game and the Wrigley game. I haven't decided for sure, but I'm leaning toward it.

Anyone else interested in getting tickets together?
