Tennessee Weekend

Well PRAISE THE LORD, Bama got lucky this weekend!! That one was a real nail biter!! I love football weekends most of the time, but about this time of the season I am getting burned out because we go to all the home games. However, due to work conflicts, we missed the last home game. So, I was fired up for a Tennessee weekend! My morning started out nice and early at 5:45 a.m., when Cristi came over to meet me for our 6:00 run. We ran 10 miles....yes, that is right, 10 miles Saturday morning BEFORE we went to the game and probably walked 10 more!! This is our last big run before the race on Saturday! Anyways, we headed off to Tuscaloosa and met up with our usual tailgating group. Couch was there, which was nice, because I never get to see him any other time but football season and miss him terribly. He was one of my best guy friends in college! We had a nice discussion about aging this weekend and how we couldn't stay up quite as late as we use to! I guess that goes for everyone though. That ballgame was INTENSE as well! David shouted his voice out in the first half, so he was kind of quiet in the second half minus his hardcore clapping that he did which sounded like the skin was ripping off his hands, but that is a whole other story. When that last field goal was blocked that stadium was as loud as I have ever heard it. Everyone was giving high fives, hugging strangers and kissing babies! What a wonderful game! Roll Tide!!
