New Year's Eve in Memphis

For this past New Year's Jonathon and I were fortunate enough to get to travel with his team to Memphis for the Liberty Bowl against the Georgia Bulldogs.

While it was a bit of a whirlwind, we sure had a good time. I flew in from LA where I had visited family and attended my Grandmother's' funeral and I sure missed my honey buns while I was gone. Besides him working a lot while in Memphis, I also had the flu so the majority of my time was spent watching free hotel HBO. Have you ever seen the movie Good Hair? You should...



While we spent the majority of the time in the hotel or on a bus, of course we had to get some Memphis bbq at world famous Corky's.


DANG, you've got some good looking ribs baby!


Finally the day of the game arrived. It was a bit ominous looking with 70% chance of rain and yours truly sniffling into her huge stash of kleenex. The view as we arrived to the Librerty Bowl...


Don't worry about it, these are just our police motorcade escorts...


UCF UKNIGHT!


There's a handsome man looking through binoculars up there... Wonder who he's looking for?? I'll give you a hint. It was me :)


Some of the other coaches doin the damn thing...


Apparently the Liberty Bowl invited Homecoming Queens from all over the country to be honored at half time. There were a LOT of white dressed teenaged girls out there.


And our own national ranked cheerleaders (I think we're 3rd place, but hey that's still pretty good, right?) and dance team with sweet hair art.



Our half-time entertainment... The O'Jays!


Our boys beating the Bulldogs...



Victory!


My sweetie making his way down from the box and onto the field for his victory lap!



One happy coaches wife! RIGHT as the game ended about 30 seconds after this photo, the sky opened up and it absolutely poured. I am SO grateful the rain waited until after the game. UCF Wins! 2010 Conference and Bowl CHAMPS BABY!!!
