A few weekends ago, me and a few friends took a trip down to College Station to Texas A&M University. A friend of ours had some extra tickets to the football game, so we took off friday after class and went down, hung out, and went to the game saturday morning. Will I thought you'd appreciate some of the pics of the band that we took. : ) These next few were from our seats in the upper upper upper upper deck... lol... : ) We had nosebleeds to say the least, but it wa a blast. You can see how big the band is and some of the formations they do like he diamond and then the A&M logo...
The Aggies were playing Texas Tech the weekend we were there. It's a pretty big rivalry between the two, so we were lucky to get tix. About the end of the 3rd quarter people started leaving... (YES, even in Aggieland people leave if it's a bad game...) because Tech had a 21 point lead. So, given better seats, we moved down! : ) Here's where we ended up:
MUCH better, no? : ) Dad, check out the size of that instant replay screen!!! There wasn't much left of the game, so we left kinda early and saw this character on the way out... : ) Anyone know his name?
All said and done, we had an AMAZING weekend and hope we get the chance to go back soon! : )
We had the burning of the letters and had about a twenty minute fireworks show... with the cheerleaders and football team having parts in gettin the crowd pumped for the game the next day... Afterwards we had a dance party in the parking lot for another 30 minutes and took a bunch of people to chilis. : ) The next day we had campus run at noon and then hit the field at 2 pm against another one of our big rivals Howard Payne University.
The top is a bunch of us from the couch cru, me and pancho painted our faces, his purple with yellow eye strips and me yellow with purple eye strips. The bottom is Eric Henry our All-American linebacker before the game. We ended up winning the game... by a lot...
It was a pretty lame game. It was 40-0 at the half. The highlight of the game was halftime, where they announced the homecoming king and queen, Tatenda Tavazeva and Martha Sicking : )
This is the pair at the semi-formal later that night. It was a ton of fun and me and a few others did a jonas brothers routine on the stage for the crowd... (I broke some hearts...) ; )
For my first homecoming at UMHB... it was a blast. There were so many traditions and things going on that weekend we didnt know what we were suppossed to do! I'll probably get in trouble for saying this, but it was mom's 20th year reunion! : ) The alumni were ALL over the campus friday and saturday and took all of the good parking... : ) This was UMHB's 99th homecoming celebration so next year celebrates 100 YEARS of homecoming at UMHB!!!
