Rose Bowl Trip, GAME DAY
Okay boys and girls, we all know how the story ends, but don't you want to experience all the...
Cute animals?
Even more (sort of) famous people?
RELIGIOUS WACKOS!??!
Okay, that's a Star Wars car we saw on the highway. You can't even see all the detailing this guy had--lots of Galactic Empire logos. Sad or cool?...probably sad.
We got to the place where we park (this guy's back yard, about a seven minute walk from the stadium) and I met this friend:
A PIG!!!!!
I was REALLY excited. Pigs, as you may know, have been my favorite animal for a long time.
Then, to top it off, I saw this little friend darting in and out between parked cars in the lot/lawn:
BUNNY RABBIT!
So, I love cute animals.
Then we chilled at the stadium, checking out all the big banners and crap.
We weren't the only ones enjoying the lovely day. Here come the...
CRAZY CHRISTIANS!
(with signs!)
Yes, God indeed kills.
The on the left says, "ALL THAT MATTERS IS YOU'RE ALL HEADED FOR HELL." The right says, "ONE BREATH FROM DEATH, GIVE JESUS YOUR LIFE."
Where do I even begin.
And now my personal favorite...
Two faves on there: "Lesbian" and "Potty Mouth."
Those pictures should also give you a pretty good idea of the giant crowd.
Somebody made a mock Tower out in Tailgate Land. The sign on the bottom of the shot said, "Will Lap Dance 4 Tickets," which was one of the more creative methods of begging. There were lots of people wanting to buy, and practically NONE selling.
I ran into my friends, Leah and Rachel Goldstein.
Hi, girls.
Then I sang on the radio (1300 THE ZONE, KVET, the official station of the Horns).
I made up some alternate lyrics to "O mio babbino caro" that relate to the Longhorns.
Here's me "auditioning." (AKA singing for the radio guys beforehand so that they'd know if I sucked or not. I didn't.)
So that went well.
Then we went into the stadium!
Big crowd.
I went down and visited Michael Evans in the band.
BFF!
Sportscasters...wheeeee....
AAAAND the game.
I stood next to a nice lady named Kelly, who was with her husband Sean. She graduated in '97 and lives in Houston now.
Me with my high school pal Olivia. I was getting a hotdog when I spotted her. (Note the giant hotdog. I didn't eat it all.)
During the game, the stadium ran out of beer and water. Most people were pissed about the lack of beer. (I just wanted some water.) Didn't they know Texas was coming? All Texans want to do at football games is drink beer.
Mom, being cute.
LONG STORY LONG
WE WON!
My dad was VERY happy.
Then we met James Brown, a former UT football hero. Sweet!
Michael in the band, celebrating.
Damn, that looks good.
To be concluded.
