So it's 2:12 AM and I can't fall asleep for the life of me...been trying since 11! So, I figured I'd post my pics from Louisville even though their about a week late! As you can see we had a lot of fun, even though our guys didn't play their best. It's okay though...they gave themselves a lovely redemption present one week later at WVU! ENJOY!
Before taking off
Louisville bound! I'm such a nerd with my HUGE bag of schoolwork
And we're in Louisville!
Waiting for the cabs to pick us up so we can get some dinner!
Brent the cab driver had some funny stories on the way to dinner!
We got dinner at Shogun's Japanese Steakhouse...yummy!
Our server was really funny...he started flinging rice at us! It got all in my hair!
Classic volcano that he magically turned into a choo-choo train, complete with sound effects...WOW
I'm ready for bed!
The next morning a few of us woke up bright and early to go downtown and see Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory...the rest of the team was lame and stayed in the hotel! lol
Indiana just right across the river
Outside the museum with the world's largest baseball bat
With our coach Emily
Outside
Banners of all the all-time greats hung from the ceiling...the lights made it all look really cool
Had to take this pic for my Uncle Kenny...huge DiMaggio fan
Found the Babe!
...and the hometown hero Hall of Famer Wade Boggs!!
Pestering Mike Mussina
I made sure to weat the helmet that has all the face protection on it lol. 6-10 not too shabby although Lauren seems to think I had a couple foul balls in there lol
The giant glove is eating us alive! AGHHH
But not Matt cuz he's too tall!
Taking a stroll through downtown on our way to grab some lunch before heading back.
They had these pretty mosaic horses scattered around downtown too...pretty!
On our way to the stadium
Hello Papa Johns! This is what "The Oven" looks like on the outside
Armed and ready! We will conquer the cold, even if the football players insist on NOT wearing under armour.
First thing I did when I got in the stadium- find the legend! With Johnny Unitas!
BRRRR it's cold!
So it does pay once or twice a year to be Rocky in that normally, ridiculously-hot costume!
Welcome to the 'Ville!
Tailgating with some fans!
They had tickets in a suite and didn't have to deal with the cold for very long lol
Getting ready to run out with the team. I was so nervous that either we'd get trampled or that I'd trip since all-girl normally doesn't run out with the team.
The Ponton family- God bless them all, they were HILARIOUS and sooo much fun to have in the stands!
BRRR!!
Enjoying my halftime indoors eating Papa Johns. My first time having pizza in 3 yrs! I was way too excited
Right after halftime
The team right after the game
A great big hug from the boy I rooted against all night! lol
No really, we don't fight, I swear. In fact, he now wants an autographed mini helmet signed by Coach Leavitt after the butt-whoopin we put on WVU, and he voted for Grothe on ESPN
Back on the bus, eating mine and Jenilee's KFC. Yeah I know, this is not typical me, but in Kentucky it's only appropriate to eat KFC. Again it was my first time in 3 yrs having this too lol
WHEW! It's now 2:57 and I'm still not tired. But needless to say I'm gonna try and get some rest. Hope ya liked em!
