The night had disaster written all over it.
College football fans have but one college football game to choose from each Thursday night, the ESPN game.
This week the game was in Columbia SC where I live.
The Gamecocks were playing Kentucky, a team that the Gamecocks usually beat. But this year Kentucky was undefeated and ranked in the top 10 with a Heisman candidate quarterback.
The game kicked at 7:30 pm and we got to The Touchdown Zone at about 4:00 pm.
Leon and Kelly were in town from D.C. with their new baby. Jeff and Jessica were down from Boston. Even Chris Hill (the guy that talked us into buying the parking spot and now never shows up) was there.
We had planned to make Beaufort stew. I brought my cooker and most of the ingredients. Bart and Lindsay brought shrimp from Charleston, and Will brought sausage.
It was very overcast and there was an 80% chance of rain. Kentucky fans started showing up with "Believe The Hype" T-shirts. They honestly believed that they are now good at football.
It started to rain but we were able to light the cooker.
It started raining harder.
Was Kentucky really good?
Will started cutting sausage on the table. We had brought a really big knife with a point on the end. Sausage kept rolling off the cutting board and onto the dirty pavement.
It continued to rain.
Was Kentucky going to beat us on national television with everyone watching?
As a piece of sausage rolled off the cutting board, both Will and Bart reached for it at the same time. Iwas standing right there and watched Will stab Bart in the arm with the tip of the knife.
It continued to rain. Williams Brice looked like it may not be full.
Should I believe the Hype?
Things were looking terrible when a miracle happened.

Are those blood stains on your boy's pants or little gamecocks or something?
Somehow the miracle didn't carry over to this week against Tennessee, did it?
