BCS Champions!!!!! War Eagle!

I realized that I haven't updated in a while.  I can explain. . . college football.  It's been such an awesome experience being here during all of the hype.  We felt the same the other years we were here, but this year we both had student season tickets - it looks like we picked a good year for that.

I would have posted between this time and Halloween, but they all had to do with football, so I decided to go ahead and post them all at the end of the season.  (One day I might get our Christmas pics up, but I thought this might be a little more important.  Hey, I live in the South now!)


Auburn vs. Georgia

Ben wore his wig for a little bit at this game.  It totally cracks me up!

These were some of the signs that we were holding at the game.  After the game, we walked around with the signs and we had all sorts of people come up and take pictures with our signs (fyi - these are our friends in these pictures, not some random drunk people).  I'm sure there are more of Ben's signs out there on facebook somewhere.

Military fly-by.  Great timing - totally awesome!

SEC Championship (vs. South Carolina) - Toomer's Corner

BCS Championship (vs. Oregon)

We had kind of a funny set up for the game.  Since we don't have cable, Ben had to stream the game through the Internet and hook it up to the TV.  Ben said that he's never wanted HDTV so bad in his life.  Oh well, he still has to wait until after school.  This game was one of the fastest and slowest games I've ever watched.  That last minute of the game just about killed me - what a nail-biter!!!

After we won the game, we woke up the kids and took them down to Toomer's Corner (about 11:30pm).  Luckily the kids didn't have school the next day because of the bad weather (freezing rain) we'd been having.  (I don't think they canceled it for the weather.)  Toomer's Corner was crazy, but I'm so glad we got to experience it.  It isn't everyday your university wins the national championship.

The next day, Toomer's looked even cooler.  It looked like it had snowed.  They were cleaning it up as we were taking pictures, but I think it got "rolled" again when the team got back into town that night.

WAR EAGLE!!!!
