Texas Football

Last week I was fortunate enough to spend three days on the campus of the University of Texas. I toured their facilities and spent most of my time in the new suites built in the north end zone. This weekend I was able to watch the Miami Hurricanes play Texas A&M at Kyle Field in College Station, TX. If those five days aren't football heaven I'm not sure what is. To go along with the photos here are some interesting facts.

University of Texas = 48,000 students
Texas A&M University = 48,000 students

Royal Stadium = Seats 97,000
Kyle Field = Seats 82,000

Between the two schools they have 5 national championships and 3 Heisman Trophies. The Longhorn football facility was simply amazing. The video board is the second largest in the world...talk about your big screen TV.

That is pretty cool. It is always more fun in the stands than in the box!

Been thinking about you guys a lot lately! WE MISS YOU! Josie went to a birthday party for her other cousin Kate and as we were driving there she asked if there would be a Jaylen there. She was a little dissapointed that it wasn't Kateroo's party.
