Briana's 1st football game

Last night, Briana and I drove up to Bowling Green to see them play Troy University. One of my longtime friends, Maurea Crain coaches at Troy. I have known Maurea since 1986. He played basketball for me in high school, then after playing football at the University of Iowa, came back to University High School and was a coaching colleague of mine for a few years. Here he is in action before the game:

This game was pretty special because it was Briana's 1st football game. She has attended many other sporting events, but we have waited for football (it tends to be longer and much more crowded; plus it is a whole lot more expensive). Since Bowling Green has a smaller stadium and it wasn't crowded, it was a perfect "test" to see if she could make it through a whole game. They had a photo promotion before the game:

 

After the game, we waited for Coach Crain:

Briana was glad to see him:

 

I look forward to many more football games with her in the future.
