Tim 's thoughts:

WHAT WAS AWESOME ABOUT THIS RACE?
I appreciated the purple shirts this year since it was nod back to the old "Paint the Town Purple" campaign and we always need purple shirts for the warm September games. I also liked that the marketing department got some of the big players from the department out for race day. I saw Jim Phillips walking around chatting people up. Venric Mark at the final turn was an awesome moment for me and for the few people that recognized him. It hit me watching people finish how unknown members of the team are. I knew who it was when I got close enough (he doesn't look like an All-American, but lucky for us, he is), but I had to tell everyone else in our group who we blew past. My family didn't get to experience a Pat Fitzgerald moment like I did, but another awesome moment was exiting the field through the locker room building in the north endzone. I had always wondered what inside the building and what it looked like, so needless to say I went in and out a few times during the course of the event.

WHAT WASN'T SO AWESOME ABOUT THIS RACE?
Thanks to an increase corporate sponsorships, they moved the post-race area to outside of the stadium in the northeast corner of the stadium. However, I really do like being on top of Walker Terrace. An even for Randy Walker should involve a trip up to a terrace. One of those new sponsors was a local Subaru dealer though, so I can understand the change in venue. One of the better parts of the post-race activity was the activity for dogs, which was noticeably absent this year. I will admit this though: I only missed it because I like making fun of Snickers. A lot.
