This week started off with a little trip to Phoenix, Arizona to watch my TCU Horned Frogs play Boise (it’s not really a state) State in the Fiesta Bowl. My Frogs have had a very exciting season this year culminating with our first EVER BCS Bowl. Although I was supposed to start busy season on Monday, I knew I could not pass up an opportunity to watch the Frogs in a BCS game. Who knows when we would be in a BCS game again?
Dad and I left Dallas before 7am on Monday morning. One would think I would be used to early morning flights, but that one was brutal! I was exhausted. After checking into our hotel, eating lunch and exploring the Miller Lite Tailgate, we headed to Tostitos College Football’s Biggest Party Tailgate. It wasn’t the most exciting event, but I did get to see Bergwood and Hot Bobby from the Allstate commercial and Super Frog. Both team’s cheerleaders, dance team, and band came through the tailgate. Seeing them back to back confirmed what we already knew . . . TEXAS GIRLS ARE SO MUCH PRETTIER. The Boise Girls just could not compare. I also found it entertaining that Miss. Idaho was the drum major, and you should have seen the dress she wore.
Well to the real reason I went to PHX . . . the game. If you read any kind of sports media, you would know that the game was not all that exciting, and my beloved Frogs did not come away with the W. The team came out a little nervous and just never got to the same level they played most of the year. I must give the Boise team some credit; their defense played an amazing game and their punk fake on 3rd & 9 set them up for the W. Despite the loss, I still love my Frogs and can’t wait to see how the seniors do in the NFL Draft and the rest of the team does next year!
The flight home was kind of exciting too! Saw my neighbor in the dorm from my freshman year who I hadn’t talked to in a long time in the airport. We got to catch up. The Boise team was at the gate next to us which did not make me happy, but I resisted walking over and taking their knees out. Then our flight from PHX to OKC was oversold so they were asking people to get off the flight. As an avid traveler, I was annoyed that we were running late because of this. But you will never guess who the last person to get on our plane was . . . BARRY SWITZER! Not that I am a huge fan or anything, but I got to see a celebrity. My trip was complete!
GO FROGS! DON’T BACK DOWN! NATIONAL CHAMPS 2011?
