Weekend Football



I went to my first Middle Tennessee football game on Saturday! Tera, Tera's friend Russ, Katie, Katie's friend Reagan, and myself all met at the game. Our intention was to tailgate but we got a late start and didn't get to the game until after kick-off (oops!) I really like the MTSU stadium. Everything is brand new and you have a perfect view of the field from every seat. Except Tera's because there were two guys standing up right in her way and she didn't see half the game! I was really interested in seeing the marching band, since I had to do that for two years in Maryland. They didn't do very complicated drills, but the music was fun and there were a ton of them! They had the actual band, color guard, baton twirlers, and a dance team all performing together. My favorite part though was after their half time show the band all rushed the student seats and played the school fight song right in front of us! It was fun. We actually didn't end up staying for the whole game because we were hot and hungry! I don't even know the final score!
I also had tickets to the Baltimore Ravens vs. Tennessee Titans game. I have ever been to a professional football game and was really excited about going. Russ had two tickets for free and all I had to do was find someone to cover my shift at work. BUT NO! No one would pick up my shift. Out of 20 some servers....Everyone was busy. So my ticket is unused and I watched the game in the Outback lounge since I had no tables anyway! At least the Eagles won!
