Homecoming 2009

Well, Homecoming 2009 has come and gone and I will have to say it was so much fun. This is first time I've been back for more than just the game so it was a treat seeing so many friends I haven't seen in awhile.

Friday was fun. Anne and I drove to Troy after a friend's birthday dinner. We arrived at The Front Porch and were greeted by our friend Donna. We had other friends join us. We then retired to Donna's house where as Stark calls it - we had a hen party. Hen party, slumber party or whatever it was it was a lot of fun. We laughed and laughed until Donna said, "now that clock it right and that one is wrong so you need to look at that clock". Well, it was 2 A.M. and we couldn't believe it. We all went to bed to try to get some rest before the big day. I believe Donna's son John came in from work at 5:15 A.M. to catch some zzz's before returning to work at 9 A.M.

We all went different ways. Anne and I loaded up and went to start tailgating. We met up with our tailgating friends - Dianne Herring, Melita Smith, Dot Jackson, Darlene, Delaine, Sarah, Charlie and more. We had a lot of fun and too much food as well as our very own Troy cheerleader - Miss Anna Fischer !

Here are a few pics. I will post more this week.

Homecoming Weekend is Finally Here

Good morning Trojan fans. Well, homecoming weekend is finally here. I will be heading to Troy tonight after a birthday dinner. Plan to stop in at a few old stomping grounds. I think plans are to meet up at the Half Shell first and then we will make our other plans. Can wait to see everyone and enjoy the fun times. Food, fun, tailgating, friends and FOOTBALL!!!!!! What better way to spend the weekend!

Go Trojans!!!!!

Homecoming 2009

Good evening Troy fans. Homecoming week is here and the fall weather has finally arrived just in time for Homecoming. Let's hope it stays cool for Saturday - not cold just cool. I don't want another 90 degree football game for Homecoming. I'm excited about seeing old classmates, friends and new ones. So looking forward to tailgating especially!!!!!!! Have tent and will travel. For those that visited the Front Porch during their college days I'm hearing they are welcoming alumni back. You might want to visit your old stomping ground to see if it has changed and tell them hello.

I want to invite everyone to Troy's game on Saturday. Kick-off is at 2;30 P.M. Don't forget to come early - Trojan walk is at 12:15 and you don't want to miss that.

Go Trojans!

Football Saturday

Good morning Trojans fans. I'm really excited about Football Saturday. I'm loving this cool weather. To me it means football season weather is finally here.

Troy is playing Florida International at 6:00 P.M. tonight in Miami. Unfortunately, no television coverage is available but we will be pulling for them. Auburn and Alabama both play at 6:45 P.M. tonight. It's going to be a great football Saturday for all fans.

I'm excited about having a nice and peaceful Saturday. No plans just working around this house and of course watching the Bama game tonight. I'm sure I'll flip to catch parts of the Auburn game.

Hope you all have a wonderful football weekend. Go Trojans!!!!!

Troy Trojans Spirit

This is some of our beloved Troy Trojans coming into the stadium. Go Trojans! We love you and are so proud of you!

Troy 31 Middle Tennessee 7

What a great game Trojans! The excitement was in the air and ESPN was all around. It was great to have the Trojans play on national tv and let everyone see just how mighty our Troy Trojans are! Of course, I have a few pictures I promise I will post. Hopefully, tonight after church.

Bear's mom and several friends and family members joined us during this game and it was great seeing them. We got to visit and catch up some since we haven't seen them since last year. Now, Julie and I are on a manhunt for some shoes. Can't wait to wear them if we can find them.

Have a great evening Troy fans. Will be back soon with pics from all of our home games from this season!

Home Game Televised on ESPN2

Hello Trojan fans. Another home game is upon us as the Troy Trojans host Middle Tennessee tomorrow night. The game will be televised on ESPN2 @ 7:00 P.M. I would like to encourage all fans that can to come and join us. It will be a great game and lets show ESPN2 viewers that we support our Troy Trojans!

I'm working on several posts I hope to complete this week. I've got more pictures from Florida I hope to add and I also have some pictures from Worldwide Trojan Pride Day. I'm so excited that football season is here and in full swing.

I really missed having a Troy game this past weekend but I got my fix on football with the Alabama and Auburn games. I joined some friends and we had a wonderful football feast for the Auburn game with just about anything you could imagine. We had my famous stuffed mushrooms & baked oysters, Steve's famous smoked oysters, hot wings, salad, Susan's rice, Donna's beer can chicken - that no one seem to want to cut (LOL! inside joke), chips, salsa and of course, boiled peanuts! Everything was absolutely delicious. We were amazed at all the food as this was a last minute decision by Kathy to host the shindig in her lovely home. Thanks Kat! It was wonderful. Everyone had a wonderful time. I've got lots of great new recipes I can wait to share with my dear friends Julie and Stephen. Julie and I are always in search of new recipes and now I can add to our collection! I can't wait for our next football gathering (or any gathering) so I can share these with you!

Well, I've got to run and get ready for work. Lots to do early in the A.M. and early P.M. so I can get done and head north to see the mighty Trojans!!!! Go Trojans!

Happy Birthday to our own Troy Alumni Cheerleader

This is a little late in the day but it has been a very busy day for me.

Today is Julie's birthday. Please feel free to leave comments on the site with your wishes.

Happy Birthday Julie!
