UT vs. ISU

We got up early—very early—and drove to the stadium. We have to be at the stadium three hours prior to game time to park close. We went to the Texas Exes Chapter Leader Room to visit with the staff and old friends. I decided an wanted to take a picture of my life membership posting so I went out into the lobby. I ran into a former neighbor of mine and we visited for a while until her husband arrived. Marsha and Jim lived next to us when the girls were young and our children practically lived at each others houses along with a few others on the block. We went to all the UT football games together and then partied afterwards. They have both recently retired from teaching. Here are Marsh and Jim.

I went upstairs and discovered that those members whose numbers are above 27,000 are not framed but are in the big leather books that are laid out.

This is the page that Wayne and I are listed on.

And here are our names.

Here is the UT band before the game.

On the left they are bringing out a huge Texas flag.

This is the megatron that we have to look down on from our lofty seats. The team is touching some longhorn horns that are mounted on the wall. It didn’t help them.

At half-time both the Longhorn band and the Alumni Band performed. The Alumni Band spelled out HOOK EM while the student band spelled out DELOSS for our athletic director.

It was good to see everyone who sit around us but it wasn’t a good game for us.
