Cowboys and Indians

Jason has always wanted to take the kids to a football game (no they have never been to one). So we were going to go see the U of U game against TCU, but unfortunately the tickets sold out really quickly. Jason was a bit disappointed but, he made the best of the situation by taking us to the North Texas high school play-offs at the new Cowboys stadium. It really is an amazing building. We got to sit on cushioned seats and watch the biggest TV in the world.

The jumbo-tron.

Texans take their high school football really seriously. You buy season tickets to their games and some of the stadiums are as big as Utah State's stadium.

We got there in time to see the Southlake-Carroll Dragons play their second half (they are always number one in the state and ranked almost as highly in the nation). It wasn't really that exciting since they won by like 40 or something crazy.

Then we watched the Keller Indians play the Coppell Cowboys. Of course we were cheering for the Indians (unfortunately, they lost 13-33). These teams are really good and fun to watch.

The half time festivities are quite amazing here. We saw three different marching bands perform and they really take their bands seriously here (maybe a close second to football:). I think the Coppell and Carroll bands are as big as my graduating class in high school. Here is the Keller marching band on the big jumbo-tron (it is backwards I know, but you can still see the name "Keller" spelled out).

It was a great time. Hope to do it again soon.
