It seemed strange to me to getting to the tailgate spot at 9AM but with the 2PM game there wasn't much tailgating time and it went fast. When I got there, Andy was already frying up some bacon for breakfast.
I decided to take a walk around while breakfast was cooking. A lot of people were just getting there putting up their tents and canopies.
At Kenny Cochran's spot, he, Dee, Danny, and Mary were preparing the goody bags for the players after the game.
I visited the three-legged boxer was at the Po-Boys spot. He gets around good on three legs and is friendly as hell.
I decided to walk over to the eastside tailgate area to see what was going on over there this early in the morning. I decided to cut throught the stadium on the way. You could see that the NCAA had already put their mark on the game and the stadium.
I was happy to see that, at least, one of the "Welcome to the Hole" signs that we purchased and put up during the Paint the Stadium project in the past had survived. This is the one on the fence going down the SE ramp onto the field. The one the visiting players will see.
Once in the eastside tailgating area, I visited with Ken Reeves, Mike Wittler, Pat Hay, and Kyle Duge. (If the names aren't spelled right, blame Kenny C., not me.)
They were having breakfast burritos.
I could hear the Band practicing on the practice fields, so I head that way for a look. I saw this RV of Fourroux Fans on the way.
Here is a shot of the Band practicing on the practice field. I don't know if they do this every morning before a home game or not. I'm never here this early.
I headed back to our tailgate spot to eat breakfast. And, before you knew it, it was time for the Cowboy Walk. Below, a couple of shots of the fans waiting for the players.

Dennis Thibodeaux made it out for the Cowboy Walk again and this time got more than a picture of the busses going by. He was sporting his new hair color.
