'Mong the stately pines of Georgia

(That's how Valdosta State's Alma Mater begins)

This was Homecoming week at VSU. We went to the parade last night, the Alumni Tailgate Party, and the first part of the game today.

Here we are after the parade.




Look who else was at the parade!


We decided to bring our personal photographer along to tailgate. Actually, he kinda just came for the food. Brides, you may want to keep an eye on him at the reception.


This was Tucker Pruitt throwing for a touchdown right in front of us. A win for the the Blazers, but the offense has to start playing better if we are going to challenge for another national championship.


Alma Mater
‘Mong the stately pines of Georgia
Glorious to the view
Stands our noble Alma Mater
Basking ‘neath the blue.
Alma Mater, thee we honor
Praises never fail,
For thy fame shall never perish,
Red and Black — all hail!
Alma Mater’s sons and daughters
Ever will be true.
Always to thy heart returning
Dear old V.S.U.
Alma Mater, thee we honor
Praises never fail,
For thy fame shall never perish,
Red and Black — all hail!

So how many plates of food should brides order for the photographer?

Javon said...

that all depends on the ratio of how big the photographer is to how hungry he is...
