Excerpt from the other blog
"You know tomorrow's Monday again and I am dreading it. On one hand I feel and I know when you start off on a Monday you end up with a Thursday (you see I'm off on Friday's this semester!). And that is always my feeling on Monday mornings. That's how I pull through. What's hard though are the Sundays. They know there's a Monday waiting to spring at them. Really once the Monday starts it's ok. Sunday's, time is ticking by so fast. It makes me restless and nervous.That imaginary sound!..."

The UT vs Kansas State game
The Hook 'em Horns sign of UT. And a burnt orange UT band. Just for the heck of it.
My first American football game live! UT vs Kansas State.
The Longhorn players. They run across the field and kneel to pray. A bit like kabaddi, huh?
Longhorns supporters/fans in burnt orange and Kansas state in violet.
The sea of orange.
It was an experience. We lost, so a bit disappointing especially with all the hype of being Natinal Champions in 2005.
The stadium experience was pleasant. Nice weather. It even rained but we were didn't get wet because of the shade. Compared to cricket in India there were many people but also a lot of space so no stickiness. Like I said before no heat. No dirty litter all over the place. The T.V screen (the biggest in the U.S?) made it very convenient to watch the replays and the details which cannot be seen at such a distance. Less noisy as we couldn't take anything into the stadium that was noisy, security reasons you see.
Impressive band and formations. The U.S national anthem, The Star Spangled banner, started the game.
Joined the crowd with the 'Texas fight!' slogans and the UT song 'The eyes of Texas'. Oh! Also wore a UT burnt orange T-shirt. You must have noticed burnt orange and white are the colours (colors?) of UT.
Will I go again? No idea. Wouldn't mind but wouldn't spend so much money on it.
