We made it just in time to get the last free bbq sandwiches at the tailgate. It was a good, close game against an in-state rival Jacksonville State University near Anniston, Alabama. We sat with our friends the Kawell&#8217;s (Greg Kawell is one of the other faculty members in the CS dept).\n<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/photos\/family\/fallwknd2\/DSCN6622-sufamily.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" border=\"1\" \/><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p class=\"indent\">\nKristine and I took turns walking Analise around during the game including on the infield track right next to the field. That&#8217;s one of the nice things about a small university, you get to get much, much closer to the action then at a big university. Analise isn&#8217;t quite big enough (and I wasn&#8217;t feeling adventurous enough) to take Analise sliding down &#8220;slide hill&#8221;.\n<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/photos\/family\/fallwknd2\/DSCN6628-slidehill.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" border=\"1\" \/><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p class=\"indent\">\nOne last thing to mention is that we got treated to a really nice halftime show before we had to leave. Samford&#8217;s good (but rather small) band played a tribute to our veterans (since Friday was Veteran&#8217;s Day) including a touching rendition of Amazing Grace by a group of bagpipers. Then JSU&#8217;s band, (which is huge!!!!), took the field and they were awesome. Greg was telling us that they are a nationally competitive band. Not bad for a school with about 9,000 students.\n<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/photos\/family\/fallwknd2\/DSCN6634-subandpipers.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" border=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/photos\/family\/fallwknd2\/DSCN6638-jsubandtoss.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" border=\"1\" \/><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p class=\"indent\">\nOk, that&#8217;s it for now.
