You missed a good one

It was a perfect day for football.

An early-morning rain sank the black rubber pellets deeper into Memorial Stadium's glistening new artificial turf, and it stopped two hours ahead of kickoff. Excellent drainage prevented any on-field slippage. As the clouds steadily parted, the sun blasted through in the fourth quarter.

Something over 20,000 brave souls left their couches. There's "sand" in the song but not in our hearts.
