Aggieland

Caleb and Josh in the end zone after the game.
after the game fun
John David Crow (won the Heisman at A&M)
the Aggies never lose a halftime
before the game ... Kate bawled when she found out that she wasn't going to see the Aggies. She'll be there next time!!!!
We love football season and obsess over, adore, root for, cry for, pray for the Aggies! I know, I know ... we might be considered extreme fans! This past Saturday was the opening game! We have our traditions ... we wake up and march out the Aggie flag in our pajamas with Chris's Dad, we eat a huge meal before the game and everyone wears maroon from head to toe! Then, we leave for the game at least 2 hours early to watch the band march in, to get our face painted, to try and get on the Jumbotron (Caleb did last year), to watch the team warm up and sing the Spirit song with the Twelfth man (students) ... we reminisce our college days, our dates, we kiss on every touchdown (the kids already do this), we pile way too many people in our car and we pick up chips and queso for the after game celebration at the Glenney's house that lasts well into the night. We rarely have "visitors" outside our family group of 12 that goes together to the games. That makes for like-minded Aggie-loving fun!! After the game, some of us saw John David Crow (who won the Heisman trophy when he was at A&M) and took our pic with him. We also play on the field after the game and the boys love pretending to run the game winning touchdown into the end zone. Anyway, to one of my favorite places on earth and to my family who is just as brainwashed as I am about the Aggies ... Gig 'em!!
