Austin trip

We went to Austin for the UT - Kansas State game on Saturday. This was a difficult trip to plan because, when I decided to get the tickets weeks ago, we didn't know what time the game would be (11, 2, 7?) and we didn't know if Memorial would be playing that Friday night. We assumed they would and they did.

So that meant that we were driving to Austin very early on Saturday. While that was a good plan in the daytime, by the time the game started that evening, everyone was coming down. Next time, we don't do that.

We did get upgraded tickets from our friend Carlos Z and not only were they good tickets, the parking pass was spectacular. We parked right across from the UT Band Hall where the drum line was performing before the game. That was an up close and personal show. I got to talk to some of the band members and their parents. Not too far off from the high school band experience.

Our tickets were on the 35 yard line, lower level, under the overhang. So we saw all the plays very well. UT had a chance to win at the end after they put in Case McCoy, but they had to score a TD and they couldn't. Final: Kansas State 21, UT 17.
