Thank goodness...

...there is more to life than football!

I have loved being a Baylor Football fan this season, there have been some very high highs (beating UT...in Austin/that week in 1st place of Big 12 South/Ranked in top 25 for consecutive weeks/being Bowl-eligible) and I have tried hard not to blog about them because I didn't want to jinx my Bears! The magical season came to a screeching halt this past weekend.

I have had this game, Baylor vs. A&M, on my calendar for months. Since the start of the season I pretty much had this one down as a definite W. Then the Aggies had to go and change their quarterback and get a little momentum going. I was really nervous after they were able to take down OU!

I guess I was so nervous about this game that I gave absolutely no thought to the trash-talking/vandalism/pranking my good friend Deneise might do prior to this game. Seriously, never even crossed my mind. And, we're right across the hall from each other this year so she had very easy access to my room. Anyway, Deneise posts this picture on her blog Thursday night so I knew I was in for something once I arrived at school the next morning. Honestly, it's about time somebody put some words up there...


I must admit, she did a good job.




I especially appreciated that she took care of that day's morning work for me...


I had a little bit of a hard time explaining this one to my class...


Fortunately for me, our principal is a Baylor grad so she doesn't stand for this kind of stuff. She was sure to tell the whole school on the announcements Friday morning how much Mrs. Rothenberger LOVES the Baylor Bears! I wish I had a picture of Deneise's face...priceless!

Anyway, Deneise did a great job Aggie-fying my room ...it's been kind of like getting home from a week at the beach. No matter how many times you shower, you still find sand in weird places. It seems like I take one picture down only to discover a new one...usually up very high!

As for the actual game...I headed to Waco Saturday afternoon with some of my favorite people...half of us in green and gold, half of us in maroon, and one in blue?? The green and gold people really enjoyed the first half of the game and maroon people really enjoyed the second half! In the end, Baylor came up short. Fortunately, we all ended up happy by playing a little football on the field afterwards. And, here's the only picture from the night (my new favorite picture)...
