Interesting way to get sponsorships, but did they have to announce it to the entire stadium?

Seems wrong to be eating pulled pork nachos and a sandwich called the Hogfather sandwich at Razorback stadium after seeing Tusk.

Mmmm bacon. If our Twirler daughter ends up here, it might be hard for these 2 old SWC alums to not sing the alternate lyrics. "Cause it's A-R-K-S-N-A...oh I can't spell it anyway! Razorbacks!"

SMU gets it together in the 3rd and 4th sets. FSU has a really tall team and their block was on fire for a while but SMU figured it out.

SMU v FSU volleyball. SMU was in control but FSU went on a huge run to win the 2nd set after being down 23-17. Paige Beuckers in the house.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?
O Captain, My Captain. He'll save me with free samples, serious dad vibes, conviviality, and evocative cultural experiences.

Twirl Mom Report Week 13: I'm featuring the Colorado Buffaloes feature twirlers, one of whom is my daughter's teammate from Dallas. Her new White costume has a very elegant figure skater vibe. The other twirler CU twirler may have one of my favorite costumes ever w/ the rhinestoned mountain motif.

Unfortunately, now every someone mentions the Demon Deacon, all I can think about now is the prominent butt chin on the bobble head in the ACC conference commercials. Cannot unsee the ass cheeks and crack.

I know I shouldn't be greedy, but the 3 teams immediately ahead of SMU are all teams that SMU beat--two of them on the road. Only losses are to #2, #4, #11, and #15.

If you're wondering how a costume gets stoned, you can have the costume designer do it, hire someone, or in my case, I some my daughter's costumes my self. Using E6000 or B7000 glue, I apply come up with the pattern and apply each individual stone of various sizes and shapes.

One more USCe black 2-piece costume. I usually don't love black costumes, but t here twirlers really do it well. This one in particular was the rough inspiration for my daughter's new black 2 piece, which she wore at her last ever high school halftime because it was a black out.

Twirl mom report week 12: Cocky cratered in the 2nd half, disappointing us all, but please enjoy these USCe twirlers and their costumes. I especially like the white one piece with the Cocky tail feathers motif.

Also, need recs on doing a self-guided campus tour of places that daughter needs to see (no official tour available that weekend). I mean, I will also ask husband's uncle, who is this guy, but he's semi-retired now and lives out of town.

Sunday afternoon volleyball. Virginia tech at SMU. The Pitt/SMU roadtrip must be the hardest in college volleyball. Friday at one Top 10 team and Sunday at another.

I confess I haven't always loved their field costumes in the past because they were sometimes too lacy & frilly for my style, but I do really like both sets of their costumes this season. I also love that they often incorporate Truman in their routines at nationals and halftime!

Twirl Mom Report Week 11: Mizzou couldn't pull off the upset yesterday, but their twirlers have been on a roll. All 3 are consistently Top 10 nationally. Their freshman twirler won collegiate downfield last summer before she even started class.

Crazy ACC soccer tourney game. Arrived at half with DMU down 2-1. Scored 3 to go up 4-2 with 20 minutes left. Wake goes down a man for straight red after pulling a pony tail. But score in the 85th & 87th minute to tie. SMU scored game winner with less than a minute to go.

We're maybe even winning in Fort Worth Texas against a Trumpy blonde who ran some truly heinous ads locally.

Bonus costume I saw in person yesterday before the very exciting SMU Homecoming victory over Miami. This one is unusual due to the "chunky" large sequins. Usually sequined costumes use a mini sequin. This beautiful blue really shines with those larger ones.
