A weekend of firsts

You may recall that this is my most favorite time of year (next to Christmas), and this weekend in College Station, Texas will be the biggest "Welcome Back College Football Season" party in the country. 

The kids are ready:

First Concert at Kyle Field.

First Midnight Yell Practice.

First home game of the season.

First game for the new coach and staff.

First game in the SEC.

Oh, and ESPN COLLEGE GAMEDAY is coming HERE!

No, we aren't going to the game (sniff, sniff).  And because we are old and local, we will actually do everything in our power to avoid the crowds, but the feeling in the air is electric with excitement (and nervousness--we've never accommodated the massive SEC fanbase), and you just can't help but feel giddy.  Yes, we will lose some games this season, so spare me the "Poor Aggies, you're out of your league now" BS.  I don't want to hear it.  Fact:  The Aggies are finally in a conference where other schools' rich tradition is as important to them as ours is to us.  It's going to be great (but I will still be sad on Thanksgiving/Rivalry weekend when we aren't playing our longhorn friends from Austin).

Welcome, Gator fans.  I hope you like our town and our hospitality.  I'm sure what you have going on in Gainesville is great, but just wait until you feel Kyle Field!! 

WHOOP!!  GIG'EM AGS!

In other news--another First: 
The Brazos County Fair and Expo is this weekend. 
We will be there Sunday and can't wait. 
LOVE county fairs.
