Battle of the Piney Woods

I was just going through my pictures from this Saturday and it reminded me again, of how much fun we had down in Houston at Reliant Stadium for the Battle of the Piney Woods Game. It's one of the biggest rivalry games in Texas for SHSU vs. SFA.

Andy and me started our day at the Honda of Houston store off 290! Of course we had to fit dirtbikes into our football packed day, just so he could remind me which was the better sport! It was neat for me to see the massive store... it made him want a red bike.

We then headed to tailgate for a bit before we had to head up to the Tejas Suite where my office was throwing a pre-game party before the game. This was the neatest part. With our all-access passes we were able to go "behind the scenes" at Reliant. Not everyday to you get to do that. Andy liked the player weight training room the best. I liked walking out the tunnel onto the field!

ARAMARK (our catering company on campus) rented a suite in the stadium to hosts friends and what not during the game. We were so lucky enough to be guests in their suite. We had great seats, great food, and great drinks... we truly felt so special. It was the best way to watch the game for sure. Can't wait for next year!

Here are some pictures from our *fab* day:

This was during our pre-game party. Notice the perfect GO Bearkat Attire!

This was from our seats in the suite, it was the PERFECT way to watch the game.

I guess it should be said that the Bearkats did lose the game, but only by 3 points. They played with their hearts for sure and it showed! Our guys have made such a HUGE improvement since last year with the help of a new coach. Even though we did lose it did not put a damper on the fun.

We will Axe those Jacks next year.

Blogfully,

  1. I had a BLAST at the game. Funny story though, HBU uses ARAMARK as well and I work alot with them as you know since our jobs are alot alike. Well the food director came to my office monday morning and said he had been trying to get a hold of me all weekend long (he had the wrong #). He had box tickets from aramark and wanted to give them to me (i assume the same you guys had but on the SFA side) I was soooo sad i missed out free food and drinks considering I spent $12 on a margarita. Oh well, maybe next year!
