Yesterday I mentioned that we took a roadtrip over the weekend to support our Cougs and be there for the opening game against Ole Miss! It was awesome!!!!!

Here’s a little video of us road trippin’ it southern style. (We love bluegrass).

And oh my goodness, we loved the south so much. I could not stop taking pictures! The things I noticed most were the Baptist churches everywhere, the Jesus signs in all the front yards, the beauty parlors on every street corner, and that everyone drives a truck!

Here’s an example of the sign that says, “Jesus.”
(ok, i should have cropped this picture a bit, haha. its that little green rectangle).

an example of the cutest Baptist church.

a cotton field.

these cool trees with ivy growing all over them.

haha, i had to take a pic of “craft street”

what a cute little house- i love the front porch and rockers! notice the truck!

When we got to Oxford, where Ole Miss is at, we were blown away by how cute that town is! The night before, we watched “The Blind Side,” to pump us up for the game!

We thought this tarp was hilarious!

This one cracked me up too.

The Ole Miss campus is so beautiful and well kept. This is one of the sorority houses, it was amazingly cute. We really love BYU, but we can definitely see why this would be a really fun university to attend.

The pre-game BBQs going on in the parking lot was a sight I had never seen. There is some serious school spirit down there!

All the student body, and I mean everyone, was dressed up for the game. All the girls were in dresses and heels, and the guys were wearing nice shorts or slacks and dress shirts. It was so cool! We loved talking to some of the students- everyone was so nice to us, despite our wearing True Blue colors!

After all the Ole Miss pictures I’m posting, you’d think I was a Rebel. Nope, I’m a Cougar through and through. I bleed blue. We couldn’t believe how many fellow Cougar fans were there!

Check out that blue section!

It was really fun to win our first game of the season. Being independent of any conferences, it’s fun to have new teams to play. We had such a good experience at Ole Miss, and were so grateful for all the nice, happy people there!

Our kids have now been to their first BYU football game. They did great! After the game, our oldest daughter said that she wants to go there for college like her mommy and daddy did. Sweet! 

If you’re reading this, and are not a BYU fan, thanks for letting me indulge a little!

And here’s how you can make some fun football rice krispie treats for your next football party!
