What a weekend! Daniel was home AND I went to my first University of Texas football game, courtesy of our friends Mary Kay and Joe, whose son Ryan is part of the UT Band. What an experience...Texas Memorial Stadium was a sea of burnt orange (except for a few splashes of yellow...the brave University of Missouri fans.)
We were at the very tiptop of that sea - the very highest point in the stadium - which are actually great seats (except maybe on a cold night!) We could see everything on the field, in the stands, and on the highways. The UT Tower was eye level and the city lights spread out around us. So when the three-quarter moon emerged from the horizon to watch the game - wearing burnt orange, of course - we had a perfect view of that, as well.
And what a game! Texas zoomed way ahead in the first half and stayed there, winning 56-31. The icing on the cake was the halftime show - a tribute to Led Zeppelin - very cool. The UT Marching Band is amazing.
I admit, I'm not a huge football fan, but even I got swept into Longhorn mania Saturday night...
The moon wearing UT colors...
