UA vs. USC

I was so excited about going to this game. One my favorite college teachers Coach Shannon and his wife flew into Tucson to the game. Coach Shannon is the head men's basketball coach at ECU, i had a chance to meet him my freshman year of college and just happend to get to know him better throughout my four years of college. Craig is from Tucson, but graduated from ECU and he became good friends w/Coach Shannon while he was there, and has stayed in touch w/each other ever since. It's a good thing i got to Coach Shannon cuz he's the one that hooked me up w/his friend Craig and his wife Noel. They were the first people i got to know here in Tucson. They've been such a blessing in my life ever since i met them and have really taken care of me since i moved here. I wish mom and dad could've met them when they came, but there's always next summer. Before the game, me, craig, noel, Coach Shannon and his wife and other friends, met up at this sports bar/grill before the game for tailgating. While there Coach Shannon and i got to catch up on what's new back home and on how the out of college life has been for me.

Above: me and my friend went to the game together. Just our luck we were surrounded my USC fans. So that's always more fun to be around the opposing side. Well, just to make it more fun, i'd just hold the texas longhorns sign. I did that for me and my Dad, since he's not there to do it w/me, we're UT fans. GO LONGHORNS!! The looks on USC fans faces was great!!



Above: As you tell, our seats look high, but weren't too bad. We were able to see everything pretty good.

Above: like any Division I college, tailgating is for the many hardcore fans and one the best parts of the football games they will say. They bring their RV's up the night before camp out in the parking lots and hang out before and after the game

Above: the band making the form of U of A on the field. I think it's always neat when make letters on fields
