"And All the People Say "Hookem' Horns!"

Those were the first words Paul David said once we got settled down in our seats at the game on Saturday! It was a bit overwhelming for him at first! It's a bit overwhelming for anyone at first! There's so much to see and take in! I guess when he saw that EVERYONE was in burnt orange and longhorns stuff like him, he felt like all the people were like him! So, "All the people say Hookem' Horns!" It cracked us up!





Last year, our seats were terrible. Well, the view from the seats really wasn't that bad (they were in the nose bleed section though). The walk to the seats was HORRIBLE! Think the highest you can possibly go, walking up ramps carrying three seats, a diaper bag, a camera bag, and a 25 pound 2 year old. HORRIBLE!

So this year, Paul asked to be moved and gave a little donation:) Saturday, we got to our seats and WOW!!!!! Amazing what a little donation will do for you! Think the south end zone and go up 25 rows...yep, that's where we were! To get to our seats, we walked up the 15 or so steps in the breezeway thing, then up 6 steps to our seats! Ahhhh, AMAZING! You can tell from the pictures that we were pretty stinking close to the action!

This is way on the other side of the field when the players come out:


Colt McCoy telling the guys to get down there in that end zone:

What do you think he was telling this guy:

Hut Hut:


The Horns Won and at the end, they showed the tower on the big screen right as they lit it up orange! Paul David thought it was the coolest thing when he saw it again as we were walking to our car (which was super close since they also sent us parking passes with our tickets this year!) He kept talking about the "office that was orange!" He calls the skyscrapers in Houston, the offices!

As you can see, we had a fantastic time! It was tiring, and it was a lot of work to get it all together, but SO worth it!

And all the people say "Hookem' Horns!"
