Annual Titans trip

Yup, drove straight to Whichwich for lunch on Vandy campus as usual. Enjoied possibly the BEST sandwich known to man, the Wicked! 5 meats, 3 cheeses, buffalo sauce, ranch, and parmesan. So amazing! Mary got a turkey and cheese which looked equally amazing.

After we headed to the hotel.

LP Field on Saturday!

They were totally full from the night before and still cleaning so we couldn't check in yet so we just walked downtown for a drink and some shopping. It was a super strange atmosphere. With all the Eagles fans in town and the Phillies playing their biggest game of the season that night everyone was rockin Phillies gear, including me!

Unfortunately they last ending their season, I could of been taken as a sign of immediate things to come! :)

In our seats!

We headed over to they tailgate with the GoTitans crew. They make some AWESOME food! The had Eagle nuggets (hot wings)! Caught up with everyone, knocked back a few and headed over the the stadium to meet up with Arron and Misty. We hung out next to the outside band, drank the rest of my 12 pack and headed to our seats. We made plans to meet up after and head to Bailey's for drinks and the 4 o'clock games.

After the win!

Mary is 4-0 at regular season Titans games! 5-0 at this field and 5-1 lifetime. It wasn't looking good but they pulled it out. Britt had a breakout game! 7 catches, 225 yards and 3 TDs! It was a really awesome game. It was 10-13 Eagles going into the 4th and we put up 27 points and they only managed 3! 37-19 victory. Only thing that sucked was Vince and Vick were both hurt and did not play.

So we headed to Bailey's after the game to reconnected with Arron and Misty. I was ready to drink again as my buzz was wearing off. I have developed a routine for the games. Get a ton of beer down before the game and let that set in. As the game gets close to the end I'm feeling soberish and can concentrate on the end of the game. They managed to get a table and the drinking began. Mary did shots with us, it was great. Arron had a Bailey's card so our wings were half price and we got a free shirt! We dropped a bill that night but who cares?! It was a great time with some great people! Look forward to doing it again!

Titans game day!

Woke up to a beautiful day and a great view! We got up and started the morning around 8:30 central and head to the tailgate. It was the same one we went to last year with the gotitans.com guys.

Not to many folks there but we were welcome and had a great time.

The burgers and hot dogs were great!

We were playing Buffalo, get it?

They came prepared with the satellite TV so we didn't miss a thing.

We bought some gotitans shirts and decided to take them back to the room and head to the game. We said bye and headed that way.

Someone was rolling in style to the game, to bad they pick yellow, yuck!

Right outside, almost there!

Inside and our seats are at up there! Actually they are to the left of that little room up there. That's were the cameras are housed, the one for the main shot on tv. Walking up to our seats!

Almost there!

VY and Bulluck high fivin' and CJ walking to the sidelines. Of course with a camera in his face.

Good ole TO

Mary got her preztel again.
The defense coming out.

The team was introduced and CJ came out with an Amreican flag at the end. Since veterans day was during the week they celebrated it at the game.

Field sized flag! Styx sang the national anthem.

The F-16 fly over! I knew it was coming

Opening kickoff. We went 3 and out and the Bills scored on there opening drive.

At halftime each branch of the military was introduced.

Titans owner Bud Adams made an appearance. He is right above the "eck" in Wycheck in the blue coat. Roger Goodell, the NFL commissioner, was there as well! After the game and after Goodell left the booth to go hang out with fans Bud was busted. Bud started quite the bird flipping route towards the Bills bench. There has been a long rivalry between the Oilers/Titans and Bills. Will he lite them up with left and right birds. I didn't see it happen but heard about it later on ESPN. I thought it was pretty hilarious but the Roger Goodell didn't. Bud was fined $250,000! Chump change to him but wow!
This is in the fourth quarter after an INT they decided to bench Trent Edwards for Ryan Fitzpatrick. Bad idea. You can see in the pic Fitzpatrick had just released the ball to a seemingly open TO (right at the arrow in the 30 year mark). You can also see Fuller reading the pass and he jumps it. Fuller gets a hand on it and pops it right over TOs head straight into the waiting arms of Ron Hood (37). Hood returned it for a TD, the finally nail in the coffin.
Victory is ours! 41-17! Mary is now 4-0 in Nasvhille at Titans games and 6-0 counting the Preds games!

Seating at our seats.

Walking back to the hotel.

Stopped by the gas station for a snack.

We chilled at the hotel for a while and had planned to walk over to Hooters to watch the Pats Colts game. We decided to just stay in and order some pizza. Of course Mary was out right after dinner and I followed soon after. Really sucks I missed the rest of the game. Love watching the Pats lose! haha.

Off to Nashville for our Sports weekend!

Getting ready to head to Nashville, just packed the car (Joey let us borrow the TL) and made sure we had the most important thing! The Preds and Titans tix. We loaded up and left at 11:30am, next stop Which Wich in downtown Nashville. We listened to the Vols game and as I said all week to the folks that said we were going to stomp Ole' Miss, "Watch out for Dexter!" Dexter McCluster ran all over us. If he translates will into the NFL he WILL be the next CJ! We got to Nashville and hit up the very crowded Which Wich, by far the BEST sandwich shop on the planet! I had my wicked and Mary got a Philly and we headed to the hotel.

We got to the hotel and I headed over to the local gas station. This is the view of my whole walk for the hotel to the gas station. Not a bad one if I must say. I got two 24oz Miller Lites for $3.26 (this comes up again later, so remember that) and headed back to enjoy a cold one and watch some football while Mary...guess...yup, while Mary naps, haha!

Heading downtown to find a bar to hang out at before the Preds game. This is right outside LP field. Our hotel is just a short walk to downtown. We decided on a bar we went to last year before a preseason game. The Paradise Park Trailer Resort. It very enjoyable to hang out there. Even got a free beer for wearing a Preds shirt. There was a cover band, which had a sub par singer but it wasn't there normal singer. The crowd was fun, Preds, Canadians, Titans, Vols fans all over.

We headed to the game and found our seats. They were awesome. Front row of the 3rd balcony.

The game was one! The Preds instantly opened with a onslaught of shots. They were looking good!

Some action

After the first period operation soft pretzel was on! We head they were only on the first floor so we headed back down. Mary decided she wanted some shorts she found in the pro shop so she headed there and left me to go the mission alone. I got her to grab me a Jordan Tootoo shirt jersey too. Guess what his number is?! You say 22 then you're right! So I troll the concession stands and don't see any pretzels, bummer! I loop back and head to customer service to ask, on my trip there I glance over to the last stand, which I did walk by previously, and guess what I see, the freakin' pretzels, geeezzz. I grab 2 and head over to find Mary.

I guess you noticed the beer in the pic. Remember my last beer purchase? Well this was a purchase of the same amount of beer at a slight mark up. Two 24oz'ers of Miller Lite from a bar tenderer with a 3 dollar tip at a price of $8.50, 20 bucks! I could of bought almost 6 at the gas station for that! The price we pay for locational beer!

Welp, the Preds win but should of been by a ton more! Look at those shots on goal!! That's insane. Not surprisingly the Canadians goalie was the 3rd star of the game with 52 saves!

From our seats

Leaving the Sommit.

We headed to the Brewery for another drink but didn't hang out long. We thought we'd grab some food but ended up calling it a night and head back to the hotel.

At this point Mary is 5-0 for Nashville teams when we have come. That includes 3 Titans games and 1 previous Preds game and tonight's game. Let's just hope her streak continues into tomorrow!!

At the Titans Packers game

The gotitans.com crew.

Sunday morning, beer in hand, we made it to the gotitans.com tailgating party. Everyone there was super nice! Meet a lot of cool folks and had an amazing hamburger!

After food and drinking several beers we were lucky enough to participate in the gotitans tailgate tradition! Everyone there puts there hands in as one of the members gave a little pre-game speech ending with 1...2...3...8-0!!! It was really awesome to participate in that have everyone! Wish we lived there...

We soon made our way to the gates! In Nashville you can carry open containers so everyone stocked up on beers and head out. It was strange walking down the street with a beer in each hand. Beers inside are $6.50+! The line was crazy long, never seen that before.

We got to the top section in time to see the team come out. If you look close you can see my boy coming out...Chris Johnson!!!


The cool flag they rolled out for the Anthem.


KICKOFF!!! Paul and Dana were at the game too! Just a few rows down from us!


White had a huge break away and led the way for CJ to score on the next play!


Lee Greenwood sang God Bless the USA. (He wrote the song)

3rd quarter 11:30 left. 13-10 Titans!! (org post for the iphone while at the game!)


Starting to get nervous. But we were informed we were at the 100th consecutive sold out game!


One of the passes that got us within field goal range. Unfortunately after this great drive Rob bounced the ball off the goal post as time expired.

We get the ball back in overtime thanks to a good call on the coin flip!
The video below says it all!



8-0 BABY!! We got the Bears in Chicago next.



Us after our amazing victory!



We decided to go for a little victory swim.

The room was awesome! I booked a smoking room cause that's all that was left, but when we checked in they ask which we wanted. The room was huge! Twice as big as the room we normally get. It had 2 doors. One led to the main hall and one led to the pool!
