Gameday

Well today was the first home game for the Trojans! To kick off the first home game against ULL! Well I wish that I could say that we had an amazing victory, but we didn't. Lost 37-24, but by the way we played we didn't deserve to win at all! Started the team spirit off with tailgating with the Campus Outreach Ministry at the local church that is right across from the stadium. We had a ping pong table set out in the grass along with two tvs to watch some of the games and then hotdogs and hamburgers to cook! So it was a fun time to just hang out till game time! At 3:45 the events start off with what they call the Trojan Walk, where everyone lines up the path to the fields and the path is so tight that the boys have to walk in a single file line to fit down the path! So it is a good way to kick the start off! Kick off was set for 6, and about 5:45 the clouds started to roll in and it started to sprinkle. I didn't have an umbrella or rain jacket, so i was prepared to just get soaked. But thank goodness the rain went away and it was very nice weather for the rest of the night! But it was a good time and then next weekend is a big sec game against Mississippi State and that is very exciting for many reasons: 1) its a big game(duh) 2) parents are visiting with the Fords 3) there is a softball tournament that some of my girls are playing in! So very exciting to spend the weekend with family, especially since this will be a stressful week with test and other things!
