LSUvsOregon in DALLAS

We spent Labor Day weekend in Dallas for the Cowboy Classic LSU vs. Oregon game.  I was so excited when, about a month and a half ago, it was confirmed that we had tickets to this game! I remember last year thinking how fun it would be to go to the opening game in Dallas.  We were not disappointed. It didn't hurt that one of my best friends lives in Dallas and our visits are few and far between these days. Friday night we went to Erin's (said best friend) for dinner (her mom's famous pizza that she's just about mastered-wink wink). 

A bunch of us congregated at her apartment and then we all went out. It was such a flashback to college. I could swear we were in Baton Rouge as I recognized way to many faces from the past! Saturday morning we woke up to Game Day, got some brunch, and got ready to head to Arlington for the game.  

All clad in our LSU attire, we knew we were nearing Arlington when we could spot the giant stadium from the interstate. We tailgated at a bar with a bunch of LSU fans and more flashbacks ensued.  I ran into several sorority sisters and was able to catch up with old college friends.

Part of our excitement for the game was experiencing the stadium so we went in a bit early to take it all in. It was pretty amazing and the best part was that 90% of the stadium was LSU fans and the 10% that was wearing green made it look like Mardi Gras amongst the purple and gold.

Hearing pre game and all my favorites from the Golden Band from TigerLand was the icing on the cake for the Cowboys Stadium experience! The game and whole weekend was a great time and it didn't hurt that we WON. It  really helped get me excited about the upcoming games and I hope the victory is an indication of how we'll do this season.
