The Sugar Bowl - High School Style

Most of you know I love my husband's job. I love season where we get to go to games 2 nights/week (really - I'm not being sarcastic here) and I get super giddy the day of a game waiting for the evening to arrive. Since kids, this love of watching basketball games has arrived at new challenges, however I'm lucky so far to have one kid who might just adore these games more than me, and another who, well, is just happy to be here (or anywhere for that matter). Both are good travelers, and both can sleep like no other, therefore, late nights have not intruded yet on moods or schedules (thank goodness).

Another thing I love about his job is the chance to interact with high school kids. Albeit, if he were a girl's coach, this part would be more than over-the-top-FUN for me, but I have really enjoyed getting to know his players (sometimes just all their names is a huge victory!) and strive to make it a point to get to through each season (I scored an "F" in this department last season).

So a few weeks ago I posed the notion to Jason that we should have the team over sometime soon and he pitched the Sugar Bowl as "the night".

It was a blast. The Tigers have a great group of guys on their team and it was fun getting to know them more. Lincoln LOVED it, to say the least. The poor soul went to bed at midnight with a smile on his face still talking about the Tigers. Precious. He, too now knows them by name!

I busted out my camera to take some shots (which didn't really turn out great for some reason), and I'll have you know - in a room full of high school boys (2011 high school boys, clarified), at any given moment, at least 94.3% of them will be looking down at their cell phone. :)

Thanks Tigers for a fun night!
