Sic Em Bears!

This past weekend was homecoming at Baylor University. So the whole Sawyer family loaded up in the suburban to go and visit Cole-baby for his final homecoming! We went out to lunch with one of Cole's friends and that guy's family at Jason's Deli- delious!

Then we headed to the game- we arrived about an hour and a half early. So, Ty, Cole, and I went down to watch the famous Chase Daniels warm up- that's right, Baylor played Missouri. Now, who do you think I was really rooting for?? M-I-Z....Z-O-U!
This is so cool to me- I love school traditions! All of the freshmen at Baylor are in the "Baylor Line." So, they get these yellow jerseys with their name on the back and they run into the stadium and onto the field every game.
They just kept coming and coming and coming...


This was new... a surprise for homecoming and very cool... normally the students just run onto the field, then all run up into the student section and take their seats. But on Saturday they just kept standing there. All of a sudden, the Baylor football team was coming down the stairs in the stands and running through the freshmen! You can't really see the players in this picture, but trust me, there were helmets running through the crowd.

It was a super exciting game! Baylor returned all of Mizzou's points, and the game was tied 28-28 with a couple of minutes left. Mizzou got a field goal with about 1 minute 30 on the clock- and Baylor could not come back. Mizzou won!! Of course, the Sawyer fam was sad, so I did not say a word.

We had these great seats real close to the walk way- which was a bit annoying at first because over half of the crowd was late and we could not see through them as they walked to their seats. But on the positive side, we saw a lot of friends pass by and got to talk to them!! Old Kanakuk friends kept coming by- and we didn't even know they were at the game- so that was a definite bonus!!
Here's me and hubby enjoying life in the sun. Oh yeah- why was it scorching hot on November 1st? who knows.
