the party was kickin'...

On Saturday we went over to my friend Rachael's beautiful house to watch the LSU vs. Bama game. This was no regular football watching get-together. There was Cane's chicken strips, spinach and artichoke dip, buffalo dip, cheese dip, piggies in a blanket, mini quiche, and broiled shrimp. She made a cake in the shape of a football that when cut into was purple! A vodka freeze machine was rented and about 10 different mixer flavors were provided to add to your tastebuds delight. When the LSU kicker pulled off a win for dem tigas there was champagne to toast! I was mucho impressed. Considering Rach doesn't even get into football just shows she did all this for her friends. Wow! Thanks, girl. Geaux Tigers!

Gold & Purple Reign...

Justin T. and I met during football season five years ago. I was introduced to him as Tison, as that is what all his friends call him, and I have called him that ever since. I have tried to change it and call him Justin, but I always forget and go back to "Tison" or "Taylor" (his middle name), "T" or "Hey, you!" He has always been a die hard LSU fan (something he and his father share) and whenever I see the Tigas on tv, it makes me think of when we first met. As the weather changes into fall I can't help but recall college-turned-adult game day get-togethers with crock pot dips, a keg, and a fire. Football season is so exciting...

...The Tison's invited us to Arlington/Dallas for the LSU vs Oregon game this past weekend. When I first saw "Jerry's World" I swear I thought it was an alien ship! It is so big I can't even explain it. The surrounding grounds were a sea of purple and gold! I saw a handful of Oregon fans which were only recognizable due to the "Tiger Bait" chants as they passed tailgate after tailgate.

{There was an hour wait just to get on the waiting list at Buffalo Wild Wings, so we went to El Chicos for Tecate!}

Here we are surrounded by 87,711 fans!
