Cougs in Seattle

The Cougs played the mighty Baylor X, insert mascot here. Tough when NO ONE in the stadium knows who the Cougs are playing. But at least Baylor is better than last year's opponent at QWest field, the Grambling band players.
With that being said, it was actually a really good game, the Cougs kicked a field goal with 5 seconds left to win by 2. Pretty good performance, they even recovered after they tried to 'Coug it' at the end by letting the Baylor X's return an interception with five minutes left to take their first lead.
Some pictues:
Cougars at the Pyramid drinking before the game. Shocking:

Anyone know the girl pictured? Hint, it is an OLD family friend. Mike and I have known her and her older sister since they were born.

Halftime with the Cougar band, not Grambling but they made the requisite noise and marched around.

Thanks to Joe Hinton for procuring the tickets. As you can see, the Cougs are a really tough ticket in Seattle. Joe pictured with his MUCH better half, Gina. Also known as the life raft.


Going to see the Hawks raise the NFC championship banner tomorrow.
See you all in Ireland, more pictures as soon as I get there.
