Titus and UT!

Steve has a friend, Titus, from HSU that he played volleyball with for years. Titus moved to California and got married, had kids, etc. Steve went to see him a few times and played v-ball in Cali. Welp, it's been over 7 years since Steve has seen/talked to him. Titus called our house about a month ago after finding our number and he and Steve have reconnected! Titus has moved to Round Rock this past summer with his wife (Michelle) and 2 little boys (Riley and TJ). We had the thrill of getting to go see him (me officially "meet" him although I knew who he was) this past weekend. His son was turning 4 and was having a birthday party (UT Theme if you can't tell). It turned out perfect for us because we were going to the UT game that night, so we were dressed for both occasions!!!

Anway... it was SO WONDERFUL meeting Titus and his wife Michelle. We look forward to staying in touch with them. Steve is talking about playing in a volleyball tourny with him next year... so that will be fun!!!! Anyhoo... here they are:

After the b-day party we headed to the UT vs Kansas game. We were running a little early, so we drove around downtown Austin (BIG MISTAKE on game-day... just FYI). This, however, was quite entertaining:
This guy is making sure to "Keep Austin Weird"...


The couple we went with have an RV and they camp out before all the games w/ all the other "RV-ers" and have tailgate parties(with full blown BBQ grills, Satelite TV's hooked up, BEVO blow up's, and food galore!). It is such a cool environment. They all go to every game, every year... so they are like one big family! So much fun!!! Here are some pics of us during the "pre-game festivities"...

This was hanging outside of one of the RV's:


The band was awesome! I love when they come out on the field playing the fight song!
In fact, I took video so you all could enjoy it too!




Do you see the people in blue (all 100 of them- LOL). This is the little corner that UT sticks the visitors! SO FUNNY! They have a view of the UT Student section and MAYBE part of the end zone! I had to take a picture of how little their section is...and if you could undertand the placement of them... it's just funny!


After the team runs out of the tunnel... majority of them run to the far end zone and kneel down and pray... pretty cool site to see


A little action shot:


HOOK 'EM!!!




Did I mention we had the BEST SEATS?? (lower level, 18th row, 40 yard line, Texas side) A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!!


The seniors going out on the field to play the rest of the game... hugging Colt as they celebrate (during this time the crowd is chanting "Colt for Heisman!" SO COOL!




This was our second year to go... and it was as amazing as the first year!
