Texas Tech Red Raiders vs Baylor Bears - Saturday November 29, 2008

Daddy and Grandpa had sideline passes! And Brian spotted us! CHEESE!

Luke LOVED the game. We stayed the entire time - he was clapping, cheering and putting his guns up. :)
VIDEO!!! It was senior day at the game and they were announcing all the seniors who would run out to the field to their families and give their moms flowers. Luke got into it - what a great fan! :)



Dad at the stadium

Brian walking up to our seats - in the shade - brrrrrrr.

It's so nice and warm in the sun down on the sidelines!

Luke enjoyed the game even more once daddy came up to the seats! Brian held him up so he could see all of the game.

Grandpa ready for the second half to start - notice the sun has left the sidelines so he is chilly like the rest of us. :)

This is Luke putting his "guns" up - the stadium was shouting "RAIDER!" "POWER!" while putting their guns up and Luke joined in. He couldn't stop talking about the football game after it was over.

Me and Brian - yay Red Raiders!

Are you ready for some football?

Brian is coaching and playing quarterback for a flag football team this year! All the guys are from his unit - the Falcons - and they have just enough players to be able to play. Last night they had their first scrimmages of the season and Luke and I headed up to the Sportzplatz on base to check the team out in action. They ended up having 2 games so Luke and I stayed for the first one only. They did a pretty good job and ended up with a win. The second game apparently did not go as well and they lost 19-0 with MANY penalties (dropping shoulders and plowing into players) and warnings (language). Glad we weren't around for that game - LOL!

I, of course, was there with camera in tow and got some great pictures, including 1 of Luke running onto the field (it was half time) and Brian running after him. Luke had fun running around but pretty much wanted to be by daddy or throw the football the whole time so for the second half of the game Luke played in daddy's car. :)
