Last week Andrea and I got to experience our first Texas A&M fightin Aggie football game!


Can't you see how excited we are? Texas A&M has many traditions, and one of those traditions is that students who are juniors or higher can say "whoop" and link the fingers together like you're shooting a gun and point above your shoulder and lift your left leg up. It's pretty fun.

So we started our adventure off by tailgating. We walked around for two hours and it was hot! I mean really hot. By the time we started working our way to the stadium I was sweaty and tired. It took us almost a half hour to make it into the stadium, but when we did, we got to come to these seats:

We sat on the 10 yard line on the 2nd row!

The game wasn't that exciting and I was not impressed with Texas A&M in the first half. They turned the ball over four times! They mishandled three punts/kickoffs and fumbled once. It was a pretty sad half, but the last play of the first half was amazing and it turned the tide for A&M. The Aggies were fifty yards away from the endzone, and Jerrod Johnson got the ball with no time left and threw up a prayer towards the endzone. An aggie somehow caught the ball on the five yard line, and then ran untouched into the endzone for a touchdown! Whoop!

While on the second row, we got to see a lot of fun things:

This is a picture of the marching band.  They do some incredible formations and it was fun to see them walking through the lines like you can see in the picture.
