Wave Days and football games

The weather recently could not be any more perfect these past couple of weeks especially for November. Training in this weather has been really nice as well. Last week the athletic department had one of its wave days at the Tulane vs. UTEP game. There were about seven different schools and a number of athletes spent time with the kids before and during the game. It went well and the kids had a great time going to a game in the Superdome. The game itself was extremely close. Tulane drove down the field with a minute 1:20 left in the game and no timeouts to score a touchdown in the last seconds of the game. We were able to score on our first overtime drive and stop UTEP on their drive. Tulane won 45-38. This past weekend I went up to Baton Rouge for the LA Tech/LSU game to see my cousin who plays for LA Tech. He is redshirting this year, but was on the travel team for the LSU game. My brother flew in for the game and I met up with some friends too. It was a lot of fun. I received a call the morning of the game from my other cousin who lives in Dallas saying that she was in Baton Rouge for the game with one of roommates that went to LSU. It was great to see her and I definitely was surprised to see her. LA Tech was actually leading LSU at halftime but in the end, LSU was able to pull out with the victory. Thanksgiving is about a week away and I am looking forward to spending time with all my family and seeing friends.
