Cotton Bowl - Part 2

Before the game, the guys headed to their locker room to change into their "official Cotton Bowl Chain Crew" shirts...big stuff!


My dad has been the "crew chief" of SEMO's "chain gang" for like 20 years...but Ryan had NEVER done the chains in his life!  It was pretty funny in the days leading up to the game...he was asking my dad all these questions, and even looking up stuff on the internet about it.  I think he was a tad nervous...but super excited!



I guess Ryan got a few more pictures of the team warming up before the game officially began...















Here they go!


The game was awesome!  It was back and forth and a major NAIL BITER!  Lindsey said at the beginning...as long as Mizzou wins I hope it's close and a great game...well she got her wish!  WHEW!  And on that note...my sister had so much fun at the game that she had to call in sick to work the next day! HA!  (AKA - When she decided to come to the game she knew she was supposed to work on Saturday...the day after the game.  Well of course with the game being in Dallas and being a night game, she knew there was no way she was going to be able to work that Saturday in Nashville.  So she made my Dad bring a thermometer with him and she wanted him to put it in boiling water first.  Then she put it in her mouth and shockingly, she had to call in sick with a fever!  OH MY...hilarious!

SO GLAD SHE WAS ABLE TO COME!
 The guy from Train sang the National Anthem!


During the fourth quarter we were able to move down much lower and sit with one of my very best friends from college!  Guthrie and his wife Bailey live in Dallas and we had so much fun getting to visit with them and hang out at the end of the game.  My phone battery was dead, and someone took a picture of us for me, but I have no idea where it is!  Love you Guth!

 
 MIZZOU WINS!  Ryan was able to take our camera onto the field after the game and took some pictures!  They had confetti everywhere and it was pretty cool to watch!



Mizzou's star wide-receiver...DGB





This guy will be in the NFL...should have gotten him to sign something for my Mizzou basement!  HA!

The trophy...
What an awesome little 48-hour getaway to watch our Mizzou Tigers WIN the Cotton Bowl!  HUGE thanks to Erika and Tab for letting us stay with them and for Tab working it out so the boys could do the chains.  Ryan said it was just an awesome experience!
