After a 4-1 win, we picked up Lauren and headed to the Hill to watch the Hogs vs Texas A&M We were on I40 with the rest of Central Arkansas...including Tusk.
We got to see Ryan a sum total of 15 minutes. We picked him up at his apartment, drove the long way to the ROTC building and dropped him off for check in. He gets to be on the color guard at most home football games, and apparently has to be there 2 hours and 15 minutes before game time. I sent him a text that told him I'd call his "commander" and ask if he could be a little late so he could spend some extra time with his family. He didn't feel like that request would be received favorably.
The Hogs have been struggling, and so it wasn't guaranteed to be a good game, but they played hard and even in threatening rain and stormy skies, lost by only 12. Watching a Heisman winner play...it was impressive, even from the opposing side.
