Yesterday’s blog post was all about my trip to Lubbock, Texas and the gorgeous Texas Tech campus. Today we are going to talk football! Or as close to football as I will ever get, HA!
So back to the Red Raider Homecoming Game…first of all the Jones AT&T Stadium is huge! And I think it’s just gorgeous. Walking up and seeing these flags waving in the air really got me excited!!
Also, did I mention that the stadium was huge??
I love how they mixed the old and the new together on the scoreboard. This is technically the back of the scoreboard but you know what I mean…
Red is one of my favorite colors and to see all that black and red and see all the people getting hyped up was just a fun atmosphere to be in.
We got there early enough to see the teams warm up on the field. That was so awesome!! There were recruits on the sidelines and alum cheering the players on! Plus I got to see KK (Kliff Kingsbury)!!!! He was wearing his short sleeves before the game…those arms!!! Swoon…
I didn’t get any pics of the actual game because it was blazing hot outside and I couldn’t see a thing. I got the weirdest tan lines on my forearms and scalp and the Red Raiders lost big time. So pretty much everything after this pic was downhill…HA! But really though…sorry Texas Tech. Chin up! Maybe next time!!
This football experience was unlike any other I have ver had. There truly is a difference in Texas football vs football anywhere else and I am glad I got to experience it first hand. Hopefully I will get to go to another Texas Tech game and actually meet KK??? One can only wish…
Are you a college football fan??
What’s your favorite team??

I was a football cheerleader back in the day and all my brothers played football, so I know the game pretty well. My favorite college football team is the GA Bulldogs – go dawgs! I love how you talk about people watching at the game. That’s all part of it, right?

I’m not a football fan at all lol. I’ll watch the game if I’m with friends and they’re watching it, but, other than that? Not so much! Great post! Glad you enjoyed yourself!
Shirley Wood says
Although we have never attended a college football game live, we love going to our grandson’s high school football games. It’s essential to get there early because of all the pregame activities taking place on the field. It is so exciting! It sounds like you had a great time!

I love watching football. It had to have been so much fun to be there. I love the action of being at the game!
Jeanette says
I do not know a lot about football myself, but I do love a good tailgating or picnic that you had in the beginning. It’s just fun to hang out even if it’s a game I know nothing about.
Pam says
I don’t really know anything about football but we always go to a game in my son’s college! I love the Texas Tech sign!
Rebecca Swenor says
Texas is really big on all their football games. It would be interesting just to see the excitement of all the people cheering for their team. I don’t really watch football that much but my favorite college team is Northern Michigan University (NMU). Thanks for sharing your experience.

What a fun homecoming day to attend. Loving all of the photos and your face is too cute!
Maureen @Scoops of Joy says
Wow looks like a huge event for them. I am not a huge fan too but it is mostly because I don’t understand the game and where I come from they are not famous :)
Stephen says
I have never been to a homecoming, football or college football game but they look like so much fun! BTW got a bit excited that you had done a vlog – next time you should totally film the day :)
Teresa says
I was a football cheerleader in high school, so I get the game . . . but that being said, I am not a fan. I don’t like to watch sports, they just seem so boring to me. ☺
Aisha Kristine Chong says
This reminded me back in the day when we are all so active on games and supporting our peers, always a fun day, if I had to say so myself! :)
Chrishelle says
I would love to go to a college homecoming game. I went to college who did not have a football team so I never got to experience this. Looks like fun.
rebekah says
Seriously best weekend! I loved seeing where KK plays and seeing the traditions that are Texas Tech Football! GUNS UP.
aly mashrah says
Wow, that sounds awesome! We are a huge football family and love watching the games together. This looks like it was a lot of fun.
Christina Aliperti says
I have never been to homecoming. This looks and sounds like so much fun for everyone involved.
Mimi Green says
I never got into College football but I do enjoy the NFL. My mother has always been die hard about her sports so I learned the game early on. Even though I know the games I still go to watch the men. lol
