let's GOOOOO....

one good thing about this time of year is MOUNTAINEER FOOTBALL!   i was so giddy before last week's opening game that i could not sleep the night before.  i know it sounds crazy, but all i could think about was the drive over to morgantown, the cars backed up for miles, the crazy people dressed in blue & gold, the smells of grills, exhaust, and beer, the music (country roads), the beautiful almost-fall day, and the feeling of walking into the stadium.  i could do it a thousand times, and it would still thrill my soul!  the night before the game dustin was very patiently watching me get everything ready and listening to me go on and on, and finally he said, "i just can't relate...i don't get that excited about football...or anything really".   while he was downstairs praying, i thought about what he said.  and i have come to the conclusion that i really am very simple and childlike sometimes.  i am easily excited, and look forward to different events like a kid!!  one of those evens just happens to be mountaineer gameday!  its not just a sports team (because really, i'm not into sports much at all),  its an experience, and i love it!  time to go put on my gold...let's go mountaineers!!

  3. i can honestly say that i feel i am the exact same way. never have i been to a mountaineer game that i don't cry when the band takes the field! everyone's there, it's like you are one big family, cheering on your kids! i love the excitement, the cheering, the blue/gold krispy kremes at sheets.......
