Pregame in Starkville 9-4-10

We pulled into Starkville at about 2pm, parked, and started walking toward Tim (and a bathroom - Lillie made it all the way to Starkville without going potty!). As we were headed to Tim we passed some Tiger fans that started the T-I-G-E-R-S chant (my brother, Mikey went with us and of course he was wearing his blue during our "white out" game). I think it was a bit of a shocker for Lillie but she seemed to enjoy herself after she realized they weren't coming after her. She had a great time riding on Mikey's shoulders - we aren't sure if it because she was riding on his shoulders or because she could play with his hair. That was a bit humorous.

After pottying and finding Tim, we did some tailgating. Outside the alumni tent, they had face painting, pom poms, and stickers - which made Lillie's day come true... times 3. She got her face painted and then we headed over to the player walk through which was on the other side of the alumni tent. We watched for a little bit but we really couldn't see anything and it was beyond loud in the middle of all those cowbells so we went back and finished eating and watched from our seats.

After the walk through and the crowd cleared out some, we headed toward our seats. Lillie did a great job walking up the ramps all the way up to the top.
