Home Sweet Aggieland!

Earlier this month, I met two of my college roommates back in College Station for a LONG overdue girls weekend to enjoy the last home football game of the season.  We hadn't been back to Aggieland together since we graduated... why did we wait so long to do this?!?

Friday Night:  Midnight Yell
I was yawning by 10:30 PM.  Seriously.  Once we got there, everyone kept talking about how "old" the Class of 2014 was (they had just finished their Elephant Walk), which made me feel like a senior citizen as a member of the Class of 2004!

Last yell in Kyle Field as we know it!  It was packed!
Panoramic before the lights went out.
Thanks, random Mississippi State fan, for taking our picture by the field!

Saturday:  Shopping and Tailgating
There are advantages to being a senior citizen... we were all up early!  We headed to Fuego's for breakfast tacos (highly recommended, by the way) and then hit up Aggieland Outfitters for some new A&M gear.

Ran into some football boys in Aggieland Outfitters.
We headed to campus for some tailgating and to check out the new MSC.  We even caught the actual football team walking into the stadium for Spirit Walk.  Even though it was raining, it was fun to walk around campus again!

We met one of the senior players' moms at Spirit Walk -- she was awesome!

Tailgating with the Blantons!

The Game - A&M vs. Mississippi State
Finally it was time to head inside for the game.  Thankfully, the rain cleared out just in time for kickoff.  It ended up being a perfect November football afternoon!

Another panoramic -- one last look before they tear down the student side of the field.
Love the Corps of Cadets and the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band!
We had AWESOME seats -- thanks Ms. Joni!! :)
Loved getting to see this guy in person -- he really makes the game fun to watch!
We could hear them starting to tear down the stands as we were leaving.   They didn't waste any time!
Look who we ran into after the game -- Mr. Aggie Prez himself! 
It was so fun to be able to catch up with these girls, and we've already started planning for next year.  It will be our official 10 year reunion!  So glad I got to see them again and that we got to be #superfans for a weekend! :)
