A Magical Evening

... and no, I am not talking about senior prom ;-) Nate and I went to the A&M/OU game in College Station this past weekend and had such a great time! We carpooled with some friends of ours and enjoyed a large late lunch at Cafe Eccel... mmmmmm, peach lemonade and strawberry tarts :) It was fun to spend some time with Joey and Jenny and not have to run straight into Kyle Field for a change.

Now, I didn't expect much from the game to start with... I mostly just wanted us to be competitive enough to make a game of it. First play of the game, OU messes up the snap and... safety!!! A&M gets the ball back and starts the drive with a HUGE run by our quarterback Tannehill and only needs a few more plays to get into the end zone for the touchdown!! WOW! I was already totally satisfied by our performance and we were only a few minutes into the first quarter. LONG story short, the Ags played well on offense and AWESOME on defense and came out with a good, solid and super exciting 33-19 win over top 10 Oklahoma!!! I mean, seriously exciting game. It included a returned kick off for a touch down (from one end zone ALLLLLL the way to the other) by A&M and three separate goal line stops by the Aggie Wrecking Crew. We're talking three separate drives concluding in first and goal situations in which we stopped OU from scoring over and over again on the 1 yard line. Dude, it was awesome. Our season tickets are in the south end zone bleachers so we saw the goal line stops, the returned kick for touchdown and SO MUCH MORE way up close and personal. Can you tell I'm still excited? Such an awesome game :)

We were there too! Very top corner of the third deck on the alumni side. I have not been to an aggie game in way too long, it was a lot of fun. And it helped that we won!

Haha, sorry!! I didn't include it in my post, but as always the OU fans were really nice and classy the whole time... We even made 4 OU friends on the row behind us :)
