Lack of Material

Happy Monday, internet friends!

So I had planned all of last week how I was going to share a post today about the wonderful time my family had at the first Baylor home game of the season. Indeed, we decked out in our finest green and gold garb (including one Robert Griffin III jersey on one 9-year-old) and headed over to Floyd Casey Stadium.

We were amazed at all of the tailgating, the massive number of people and inability to find anywhere to park. We also spent considerable time looking for the face painting tent because it's just not a Baylor game if my child doesn't have some face paint or a tattoo emblazoned on her cheek.

We excitedly rushed into the stadium only to be told our stadium seats (that we'd purchased with a gift card from Maw Maw for this exact purpose) would not be allowed this year. New rule. We grumbled a bit but just knew it didn't matter in the long run because we were about to get our second 'W' of the season.

I was going to take all of these cute pictures to share with you. 

And then the game started.

And the first half was almost a disaster.

They handed the ball off to the same guy, like, 32 times in a row. 

We didn't stop him any of those times.

We finally ended the first half and enjoyed a rousing performance by BUGWB. Seeing as we'd blocked a field goal on the last play of the previous period, we just knew momentum was in our favor.

Until we fumbled a kickoff return.

And then fumbled again on the first play of the next drive.

When I saw that #11 Phil Taylor, who is the size of a small condominium, was the one assigned to running down the fast guy with the long hair, I knew we were in deep trouble. No man that size should be assigned a task like that.

Did I mention we also kept running into each other and half of our defensive players were knocked loopy from helmet to helmet contact? From their TEAMMATE?

That's when we decided to leave.

As we were leaving Taylor said, "Well, at least I got a pizza."

Indeed, that was the only appetizing morsel to be found at the Case on Saturday.

We shall try again this Saturday.

In the meantime, I'm going to pray my sportsmanship will increase considerably this week.

And that we'll host a game actually worth photographing.
