Off to MSU...

Happy Sunday to you all! Just wanted to fill you in on our weekend. Friday night was a big bummer...the Colts lost at the buzzer on the 1 yard line...when time ran out and no timeouts to take. Final score: 27-21. Pray for the Colts to get their 1st win of the season on Friday on their away game...they are almost there but can't seem to pull out the "W." One thing is for sure...I believe in the coach "no matter what!!"

Then Saturday morning we headed off early (6:45AM) to trade game film with our next opponent on our way to see the Bulldogs play. It was our FIRST game back in Starkville in about 4 years!! Since living in TX was SO far away and with my job and traveling with Baylor's football team...we seemed to never get back here. Just one of the great perks of moving closer to home...go to MSU athletic events now that we are only 3 hours away...and his parents live in West Point--so we have a free place to stay! My thoughts on the game (unedited version): It was very fun to be there again...many things have changed on campus...a lot more tailgating and the great new bookstore next to the stadium....we received free tickets to the game with Forrest's coach's card, and then for a $30 "M" annual club fee we were able to sit in the air conditioned box overlooking the field. We checked it out during pregame and 1/2 time...but the rest of the time we sat with 2 couple friends (see below). Good to see them again. As far as the game goes...it's really sad when you are now hoping your team will just make it on the scoreboard for the first time this season. In the years we were there on the team and dancing...we went to 3 bowl games...my how times have changed. Oh well...we are still Bulldog faithful through thick and thin...and the atmosphere is worth coming for! I saw my old Spirit Coordinator and 2 girls I danced with...I also saw my sorority house roommate, Meredith, who is from Athens, AL (ironically enough)... fun to see them again...now with their children. My favorite was to see Bully "pictured above" run out the team...this little, fat bulldog was running as hard as he could...needless to say they didn't do that when we were there. And can I put a little comment in about the new dorms on campus?????? UHHH helllloooo!!! They look like hotels!!! Don't get me wrong I'm proud to see the campus look great...but my goodness...coed freshman doors with wooden staircases....wow!! PS- It eases the pain of a shutout loss when you realize that Auburn is ranked #4 in the country...at least it does for me. Oh....and the last picture is today on our drive home when Miss Bella decides she wants to see where we were going and decides my shoulder would be a good chin rest...isn't she the cutest? Thank you 'Williams' for letting her come with us! :)
