Well, it had been a long time coming....
Baylor enjoyed a better than average season and we made it to a bowl game for the first time since I was a freshman at Baylor! We were thrilled that the bowl was an hour away from my in laws, so Mary Beth got to stay with her grandparents and make fun of us that we didn't get to stay there with her! My in laws are extremely hospitable and let my parents and brother (and his family) stay at their home.
As usual, it was pouring down rain in Houston, and as usual, Baylor didn't show up for the game (don't tell Bryon I said that!), and lost terribly. We played Illinois which was really neat, since my Dad got his Ph.D. from there, and I lived there the first 4 years of my life. My brother was even born there. Illinois is my 3rd favorite football team, but there was no doubt we were cheering for our Bears on Wednesday night.
We had fabulous seats on the 30 only three rows up. Just high enough to see over our bench and close enough to hear every catch and punt. It was a fun evening despite getting creamed. As Bryon says, "There's always next year!" ;)
I caught Baylor's first touchdown run. It was right by our seats!
