The Kick-off to Fall

We officially kicked-off our fall "season" last week by attending our first SMU football game of the year.  I must confess that at 104 degrees it didn't really feel like fall, but since our season tickets go through December we're sure that the fall weather will show up sometime mid season.  After all, experiencing fall and football is about a lot more than just the temperature.  There's just something exciting about the half mile of tailgating (at SMU it's Boulevarding), the smell of hamburgers and hotdogs that drift through campus, everyone decked out in their seasonal white dresses and cowboy boots, the band playing the fight song after every first down, and the fireworks that go off after every touchdown. 

Something about the start of college football makes us feel like Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner!  Gotta love this time of year.
