Navy vs. USC- September 17, 2011

I headed down for a quick 48 hour trip to go see the Gamecocks play Navy with Dad, Bernadette, Jeff & Kathe. While I took the awesome easy cheese picture and the cell phone picture, the rest are from Dad. Thankfully, his camera was not "professional-looking" enough to keep them from letting us in this time.

During our walk-about before the game, I was tickled to see Mrs. Preston (her daughter is a cheerleader for the Gamecocks) and Tommy Fechhelm and his son Ian. We even managed to see the team coming off of the buses, which I have never seen before. We were right in front of the Defense bus, and I am telling you it is hard to tell who's who without the uniform!

Of course, the Gamecocks were victorious, as they always are when I am present. It was touch and go for a bit, but I knew my team would pull through. Go Gamecocks!

After careful list-making and packing for our shrimp & grits tail-gate festivites, it was noted that the cheese was left behind.  Jeff and I were sent on a mission to find cheese.  FYI . . . Subway will not sell you just cheese.  After two gas station searches, we came back with Easy Cheese, and it worked just fine.

Before the game, Kathe, Jeff and I hung out by Dad and Bernadette's seats.  Everyone was on their phone, so I whipped out Pete to take a picture of them!  By the time I took out my phone, Jeff was done doing whatever he was doing, but I made him pretend.

Richard (a.k.a. Bubba) was at the game with Howard.  Dad snapped this photo while I was talking to him on the cell phone.  Howard is waving while Richard is standing next to him on the phone.

Jeff, Kathe and I were sitting further up around the 40 yard line.  While you may have heard rumors that I knocked the little boy next to me down, I can not confirm or deny the said rumor.  I don't think I did, but I can't be sure.  He was as excited as I was, so it could go either way.  He was fine, by the way.  You can't see the boy in the photo, just his dad.

Go Gamecocks!

Run, Latti, run!

We had lots of fireworks during the night.

It's no secret that I am Stephen Garcia's #3 fan, after Mr. & Mrs. Garcia, of course.  I like to think Dad took this picture just for me, as he does not share the Garcia love.
