Football!

There is nothing like being at Kyle Field at a football game. Absolutely one of my favorite places to be in the world. Even if the Aggie offensive line is jumping all over the place and the refs suck rocks. Even if the bugs are as big as birds (I kid you not). A&M beat USU 38-30. Should have been 38-23, but who's counting, right?

We had the best seats I've ever had. Fourth row, first level at right about the goal line. You have to watch the band and any plays on the far side on the jumbotron, but that's alright. It's just really cool to be right in the action. Being down that low, we actually appeared on the jumbotron seven times during the game, which was way more fun than I would have thought.

Nwachukwu (thank you Google, oh all-powerful spelling aid) absolutely ROCKED with four TDs. One of those, literally right in front of us, was so incredibly randomly called out-of-bounds by a blind referee. Did y'all know this was only his second college game? Nwachukwu's, not the ref's. Or maybe the ref's, too.

Anyone who goes to a Texas A&M game in College Station should take the Get to the Grid shuttle from Post Oak Mall. It was the best run shuttle I've seen at an event like this. You park at the mall and ride a very well appointed bus to the game. After the game we waited in line about 10 minutes as buses continuously loaded and returned to the mall. Best of all- it's FREE. Parking on campus is $10-20, plus related headaches. And the lots are not close to Kyle Field.

So WHOOP! Our very young team did well again this week, despite some shoddy plays and lots of penalties. There were many bright spots, and hopefully these guys will learn from each week and build a truly great team.
