Our Day at Memorial Stadium

My good buddy Andy is high up at NU, so we got to spend some time touring the NU athletic facilities yesterday with the kids. Wow, what a time together. I have photos, stay tuned. I'm not sure if Dad or the kids had more fun :) I"ll let you decide.

It's amazing to be in a huge, empty stadium. You feel really small. Sam and I both were able to catch touchdown passes; we all got to stick our finger in the field turf and pull the rubber tires out; I tried a 47 yard field goal. . .I may or may not have made it; Sam ran a kickoff back for a score, and Malachi was an excellent Center (he has the build don't you think? ) We also got to re-enact one of my favorite NU-CU plays from the last few years. With the Big 12 going away the "rivalry" will be over, but the memories remain. Enjoy the photos!:

My Field Goal try (not the 47 yarder):


The Third Largest T.V. in the World:

Malachi's Center Stance:

Eden totally not into it:

The precise spot, (yard line, end zone, etc) where Ndamukong Suh stepped on Cody Hawkins' head in 2008. :) Watch the clip, then relive the experience. (except Andy is about 200 pounds lighter than Suh, and I'm about 200 pounds heavier than Cody Hawkins):

Next year's Christmas Card: (if you have zoom on your browzer, check out Malachi's face in this one. . .classic)

Thanks a million Andy! I won't forget this afternoon,. . . . great times.
