COLLEGE GAME DAY--Crimson is still prettier than burnt mud


WOW! It was so much fun being a part of College Game Day.......at least for most of the day! I rode in on the team buses with the other coaches' wives. It was fun to see all of the crazies from both teams lining the streets.
I had to be quite the acrobat to get the above shot. Nichole and I were trying to see Kirk Herbstreet....ha! ha! It was really neat to see the ESPN crew and the setup. Nichole and I were good partners to hang out around the fair because we both were much more interested in the football game and College Gameday than the rides and fried food!

The above picture is from the gate to get into the game. Look how crazy it is!!!

Warm ups and stretch.....

I got to attend the game with a couple of really cool guys and super supportive brothers! David and Ryan left the hotel in their car behind the team buses, and they got to their seats only ten minutes before kick off after paying $40 to park in some field! This game is CRAZY!!!!
My Mom, Taylor, Megan, and Laura watched the game at Ryan's house and watched the kiddos. Makenna couldn't get it for days that we didn't win the game. She kept saying, "But WE'RE WINNERS! WE BEAT THE HORNS!" She was honestly really put out with it all. She would get into this argument with me repeatedly and just become exasperated that I must have misunderstood the scoreboard or something.
