Road Trip

Don't you love just getting a wild hair?? Our family does, but we had a little help. Ashlyn's basketball coach had mention to their team that she might take them to Auburn to watch the Lady Tigers take on the Lady Vols. Well, as it turned out she didn't but we still wanted to go. So we loaded up and with NO tickets headed down to Auburn (3 1/2 hour drive). The game started at 2:00 and when we arrived, people were already standing in line! So we hurried and got in line for tickets and we kept hearing people say, "I have never seen this many people here for a game" and "I hope there are enough tickets". As it turned out, this was the biggest crowd to ever turn out for an Auburn basketball...EVER!!! There were 12, 067 people in attendance and this beat the prior record by 5,000!




Waiting for tickets!

I just have one question. Why wouldn't anyone want to go to an Auburn basketball game if they were close enough??? I would be there if it wasn't for the 3 1/2 hour drive! Anyway, we had the best time and the girls were surprised that it wasn't like going to the HG games (which we love to do) but this was on another level...haha The cheerleaders threw shirts and towels into the crowd, they had a dance cam, they had a rubber chicken catching competition, they played Simon Says and they had the family cam. Ashlyn looked at me during the game and said, "I am so going here when I graduate!" And I just smiled and said yes you are and I will be coming with you (haha)!! But the best part was watching the Lady Tigers school TN in basketball. They were amazing, and a few of them were from here! After this game they are 20-0 and we already have tickets to go and watch the AU & GA game. This time we wont have to stand in line...yea!



After the game, we stood in line for about an hour and a half to get autographs and then I figured out the autographs that the girls were really wanting were in another line! They separated the starters and the rest of them team. So we went and stood in ANOTHER line and finally got the autographs and some pics. And as we were leaving the Auburn Lady's coach was standing right in front of us signing a girls poster so we stopped and the girls got her autograph too and pic. I told Ash when we left that she should have told her that she will be seeing her again one day. Ash just laughed and said yeah right! Maybe, just maybe...

WAR EAGLE!!!
