Fall is in the Air!

Touchdown!

It's September and you know what that means! Yes! The start of Purdue football!

Yes, I know. Purdue's season started labor day weekend, but I was out of commission and missed the first home game and last weekend was an away game, so tomorrow starts the official tailgating season!! I think it's safe to say that we're all pretty excited about this season. Not so much because we're going to kick ass (because anyone that has watched Purdue's previous games this season knows how ugly they're playing... and these are the no name teams we're talking about... ND, OSU, et al are going to be brutal unless Purdue steps it up) but because Lily is going to be so much fun this year!

Forget cheerleading. She's ready to play!

Don't get me wrong she was pretty fun last year, but she's much more vocal this year. We've already taught her how to say Boiler Up (with the hand pump and everything) along with the traditional 1, 2, 3, 4, First Down! For example, we were watching an NFL game this past Sunday. Lily was sitting at her table in front of the TV eating her dinner. She heard the announcer say that the team had gotten a first down. Without missing a beat she goes, "1! 2! 3! First Down!" She doesn't quite count it out right, but it's hilarious. She is totally ready for some Purdue football!

Hopefully I'll be able to report a successful game tomorrow. And by successful I mean a win that wasn't inches away from a loss. I have faith in my team. I can't wait to be up in the stands again.

I love fall. For its beautiful foliage. Its beautiful weather. But most of all, for the football!
