Fiesta

A sharp-eyed Sporting Press reader captured this picture of Reno at the Fiesta Bowl. That's him standing between the "Jan" and the "1" on the left. Reno and Spike wound up sitting on Row 40 on the 20 yardline at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz.

Along the way, Reno and Spike survived a historic blizzard, 14-hours of monosyllabic conversation enroute to Phoenix, several bottles of vodka, repeated encounters with a drunken Sooner fan known only as "Cranberry," questionable bathroom habits and a tainted piece of chewing gum, a harrowing and narrowly avoided automobile accident in Albuquerque, mistakenly wandering into a Boise State pep rally clad in crimson-and-cream, being hugged by an 86-year-old man who thought Adrian Peterson was Billy Sims, and lunch at the Golden Corral in Gallup, N.M.

Okay, so we don't know if the pair actually survived the latter. The lab work is not back yet.

All in all, a typical road trip for the Dynamic Duo.
