On the Road Again

L, Detroit Lions 14 - San Diego 51








We've be everywhere man (thanks Johnny Cash)! Oakland, San Francisco, Phoenix, Anaheim, Dallas and now San Diego. When the Lions change time zones, we try to get there. Some locations more than once, but this trip I was really looking forward to. Unfortunately, when I got the tickets the Lions were rolling. Last time the Lions were in San Diego, it was a Monday night with Barry and I couldn't afford tickets and couldn't get the time off (a mistake in retrospect). But now all is lost and today looks like another butt whipping.

San Diego has gotten it together and are on a moderate win streak and have last year's look so beware. The stadium looks cool from the outside but we can't seem to find a spot to park that is close. Game time approaching so we need to get what we can. LA Fitness will do and we began to huff it.

The fans were cordial and we (mainly Keith) flapped gums with a few die-hards but the talking ended quite quickly as the Chargers just gave it to LT and the touchdowns began to add up. The Lion defense couldn't do anything right (AGAIN) and before you knew it San Diego was on cruise control and resting starters. How insulting -- I wonder if the Lions get pissed at stuff like that in week 14?

Even the Charger back-up running back had a big day (Darren Sproles had 122 yards on 25 carries)! Looking at our road record when we're in attendance (1 - 8), I turned my attention to the 4 hour drive home -- UGH!
