We're #1, We're #1


On Saturday Clay and I attended the UT/Missouri game. We've been in Austin for two years now and decided it was about time we experienced Longhorn football. We got a good deal on season tickets because of Clay's student status. This is our third game this season and I am loving it! The mid afternoon games haven't been too pleasant especially when the sun seems to single you out and direct all it's heat on your seat. This past week's game was especially exciting because of our new status as the #1 team in the country after our stomping of OU. With over 98,000 fans in attendance the atmosphere was intense. There was a lot of shouting, cheering, and high-fiving with total strangers. After attending two other schools with teams that had less than stellar programs it's fun to be at a school that is ranked # 1. Clay will say I'm only there to watch the marching band, and while I do stand up during half time to watch while everyone goes to the bathroom or sits down, I do enjoy the football. I'm already excited for the next game.
Hook 'em Horns!

Hey Hollands! I'm still not a blogger but I chanced upon your blog in Karena's bookmarks. 2 comments (sorry they don't relate to this post): 1. I've been practicing the new Mariokart for Wii but it's not the same without you guys to play it with. 2. Re Clay's reading list: I like the Ender's Game books too. Keep up the good work in Texas.
