Man...I love Gameday!!!!

Yes, Saturday was a fantastic day. I really didn't care too much about anything, but going to the game with Ryan. This game was the last time Ryan and I would get to sit in the student section at Tech together. It made for a sad moment for me, but Ryan was just thinking of getting season tickets! How we are going to use all of them if we live in Houston is not even in the equation right now! Priorities will even themselves out though once they come up and I am sure that Tech sesson tickets will have to wait until way down the line.

Anyhow, we got to go to the game and it was so much fun. Even though the student section was not angels, they seemed to tone down their aggressiveness towards the other teams more; at least the section we were sitting in. I thought it was funny that when the fight song first played the students were still saying "we will f**** kick their a**, " but once their realized that the majority around them was not saying that, they converted to the right words. ( Hit "em, wreck 'em, hit 'em wreck 'em Texas Tech) I was happy that peer pressure and majority won out on that one. There were some other instances during the game though when I thought the students were being a lot less than classy about the AM band and the vick 'em shirts, but you are not gong to see a complete 180 from the students in just 1 week. It will probably take years to reverse how bad they have gotten. The campus and student life organizations are starting programs and encouraging better attitudes from the students. Finally!!!

Here are some pictures of all the fun we had......


In order Michael Crabtree, one of the spirit shops had this thing sitting outside their store for attention... Yes, that is a car under there.

Raider had his pimp suit on for good luck! Only problem is that I ripped it putting it on him since his bones have gotten bigger! Yeah right....he has gained weight! I guess I am bad at animal nutrition, I just hope it doesn't reflect elsewhere!
The Goin' Bank taking the field at the beginning of the game.
The Masked Rider is running across the field in this one, making his grand entrance. The masked rider is really cool this year. It is a guy intead of a girl and he has a spanish mustache and goatee!!
Ryan and Allison showing off their guns..
One of the last plays of the game....Michael Crabtree received the ball in this play and ran it down to about the 15 yard line!! Whenever Ryan used to say "He is a really good player" I was like yeah, okay. Seriously though crabtree is amazing! I can actually see it myself!
The game had not started yet, so we were taking pictures to pass the hour we had to sit and wait. Ryan and I didn't intend to wear the same shirt and hats, it just happend that way. I promise!
Of course, the aftermath of the game. Funny thing is my concealer had SPF in it, but my powder didn't so I have a little circle on my face! Pretty funny but also embarassing. I got burned only on the left side of my fae, both knees(but no my legs of ankles) my left is is as red as a crab (hehe) and my neck is terrible too. Ryan's neck is even worse than mine and he was there one hour less! Oh and I had my hat on, hence the no sun above my eyes. It was all worth it though! I was very happy to say I was an Aggie and I am now a Red Raider and I really enjoyed watching them play each other.
