The 2011 Aggie football season kicked off this past Sunday with a game against SMU. We braved 30 mph winds, courtesy of Hurricane Lee, as we tailgated and eventually made our way to the game. The kids were very excited to get back to College Station. They really have a good time tailgating and playing with the other kids at tailgates around us.
This year, our tailgating location has been moved due to the construction at Olsen Field. Our "spot" is within the construction fence, so we've had to improvise. We've no longer got the luxury of Olsen's power or indoor plumbing. Needless to say, Jordan wasn't very fond of the port-o-potties. And we learned how to adapt to generator power quickly. We also have a new addition of a tailgating trailer that one of our fellow tailgaters purchased this year.
Here's Jordan ready to walk to the stadium.
The game was a sell-out... and the largest opening day attendance. I think lots of people are pumped about this year, and it showed. Many folks are excited about this year's team. There are lots of returning starters and lots of high expectations. There's also lots of hype about the SEC. It's been a wild ride and who knows how it will all play out. Only time will tell. But it looks like this is the last season for the Aggies in the Big 12.
Jackson was really starting to get into the game, which Kenny loves. They sat and talked about the positions and the team for a while. Jordan of course got anxious after half-time. Even the sno-cone couldn't settle her down. So we left a little early to make our way back to the tailgate spot before the masses started leaving. The band was stellar as always, and the Aggies had a solid win.
We're so excited and hopeful for a great season!!!
