Wasn't sure where to put this.
Friday I took my grandson to the Cotton Bowl. He's a teenager and full of life, so we get there when it opens at 3:30 for the pre-game hoopla. That means we leave the suburbs at about 2:30p just to make sure we can drive safely in bad conditions, which I was tense driving the entire time.
We get to the stadium and to our seats around 5:30pm and I hadn't eaten since 6:00am, so my eyes are bigger than my stomach and I'm like that Chris Farley character, "Lay off me, I'm starving!". I house a cheesesteak and then get some popcorn and some soda. Note: I didn't drink one sip of alchohol in any varietal at all.
The game starts and it's a great game until the 2nd and goal play. So we are engaged, yelling, standing, cheering, etc. for the full time excluding the dozens of media timeouts.
We stick around after the game, buy some merch, putz around a bit-- end up at whataburger for a late night taquito-- and we end up at home around 1am. I pass out on the couch next to the fire.
Well let me tell you, the next two days I feel like I was a 25 year old on a bender hitting the night life hard. My voice is raspy and almost gone, my neck hurts, my back hurts, my head aches, my body aches, I'm fatigued, I feel like I had a horrible hangover. Again, not one drink of booze at all.
This goes on all weekend and just this morning I'm feeling myself.
tl'dr: Longhorn cfp game gave me a 2 day "hangover". If that ain't getting old sucks, I don't know what is!
