Tech and the Magical Receivers

Last night was the Texas versus Texas Tech game which is a big rivalry anyways and even more so in our house because Aunt Ashley is a Tech alumni. We started the evening off with much confidence. We knew it would be a hard game but we were ready to cheer on our Longhorns and Peyton even made a sign...

Well, then the game started and it seemed that whenever Tech's quarterback would toss the ball in the air, magically a receiver was always there to catch it. It was ridiculous! Pretty much the game was getting bad and we were not holding it together which prompted Peyton to express her frustration with the Horns....


We reassured her that Texas was a second half team and she was able to enjoy the game and sat in her bouncer glued to the television and cheering on her team. It was pretty cute when she would make noises and move her hands around.


We did start to make an impressive comeback and be up by one point with two minutes left but Tech played some great football and pulled out another touchdown (and we missed an interception opportunity) and they ended up with the win and we had to watch their fans rush their field three times. At that time Peyton decided to deal with her emotions by eating and going to sleep. Overall, it was great family night of watching football and it was fun to see Peyton so intrigued for so long.
