I guess by default I have turned into a UT Longhorn fan. Luke graduated from there and living in Austin, it seems that everyone is a fan. They must all bleed burnt orange here. I am pretty sure I bleed the standard red and I don't even look good in burnt orange!! Regardless, I love football and I love going to sporting events so when I was able to score tickets to UT's home opener this past weekend - I was super excited. They played Lousiana Monroe so we knew the game wasn't going to much to watch as far as good games go, but it was going to be exciting nonetheless. The entire city was wearing Longhorn attire and buzzing about the game. The news coverage and traffic were insane and the number of people was even crazier.
We went to tailgate a little before the game start - not really into tailgating and loud drunk people, but I am into friends so I went. We had fun and the threatening thunderstorm made for great weather. It was nice and overcast and a really perfect day weatherwise. It was for sure the coolest night we have had all summer and what perfect timing!! Maybe God is a Longhorn fan too :)
All in all it was a great night - the game was a blowout and we knew it would be, but still so fun to be there and watch. We even left early when they put the second string in. I was able to enjoy all of my favorite foods - stadium cheese nachos, a big fountain Coke, and pink cotton candy. And there is funnel cake!! It is the perfect menu for me all in one arena. Maybe this is the reason I got into football...
It was an exhausting day and getting by 10, all I wanted to do was get in bed. I put my UT shirt in the dirty clothes and I guess I will have to do laundry before next week...or invest in more of this color that is actually starting to grow on me. We are going to try and get season tickets next year, but as far as this year goes, guess we need to start looking for tickets to the Tech game in a week :)
