UT vs Ole Miss

We took Carter to the UT vs Ole Miss game this afternoon. Our tickets weren't the best (Sect 330, Row 17, Seats 1-3) but we had the end of a row which was very nice. And having to buy a ticket for Carter worked out nice because we had extra room for all our stuff.

The game started at 1:30 pm so we were overlapping with Carter's normal afternoon naptime. We got there a little earlier than we had anticipated and Carter did really well for the 20 minutes before the game.

Here he is chilling on Brian's lap and watching the court ...


Announcing the UT players ...


Carter got really squirmy as soon as the game started. He wasn't terrible, but it was hard to watch the game. With the cheap tickets we bought, we got vouchers for free food. So near the end of the first half, we loaded up on nachos, a soft pretzel, and a drink. Carter LOVED the pretzel and ate about half of it (we did wipe off all the salt from his part). It kept him content for halftime and some of the second half.


UT was losing the majority of the game though always kept it within reach. It's been a rough few weeks for UT sports with 4 basketball players being suspended or dismissed for drug and gun charges and then the football coach suddenly leaving a few days ago.

Anyway, we decided to leave at the 8 minute TV timeout because Carter was tired and we had to take a shuttle to the Ag Campus where we'd parked. We didn't want to have to wait forever in line for a bus in an enormous crowd in the cold with Carter. We got back to the car in time to listen to the last few minutes of regulation and overtime and hear UT win!
