Game 2: vs UTEP

Wow, after this win Ole Miss has as many wins as we did last year! I say this with only pure excitement. I will always have hope for my Rebels, but it is a relief to know that we can do no worse than last year!

Charlie and I received this platter as a wedding present, and I thought it would be fun to sit out. Under the tent, we enjoyed both husbands and wives stopping, admiring it and then getting their spouse's attention. This is true for the majority of married couples in the South.

 

 

Along with our display, each week we work very hard on the menu and coming up with tastey, homemade snacks. This week, the stand-out dish was the Southern Style Cuban Sandwiches, we made a few alterations to this Southern Living recipe. Yes the sandwiches were quite delicious, but the main perk was individually wrapping them. It took longer, but it made the sandwiches 1) easier to transport, 2) we didn't have to cover them to keep flys away, and 3) we had friends that were able to easily conceal them in their bag to enjoy during the game. There will be more wrapped sandwiches at our tent in the future!!

The Grove is best enjoyed with friends. I'm so excited that we got see Miss Zoey Herndon and her parents, Leah and Brian! Zoey is such a cutie.

 

We are able to see so many of our friends in the Grove because of our location. In Marketing, location is key--this principle also holds true for 'Groving.' We get noticed by our friends, opposing fans, tv crews and photographers because of our location. We are on the edge of the Grove so we're easy find and many people walk past our tent without ever intending to.

 

Directions to our tent: Go to the end of the "Walk of Champions" (brick walkway in the Grove), take a left and we're the 3rd double-red tent, the one with the flagpole.

Another description: across the street from the Thad Cochran Reseach Center and the large red and blue striped Pharmacy tent.

 

Because of our location, others have the opportunity to enjoy our tent, but we also have the opportunity to enjoy other features of the Ole Miss Game Day experience. An hour before kick-off, the Ole Miss Band has plays a warm-up in the heart of thr Grove, then lines up and marches to the stadium. It's great for us because they walk right in front of our tent.

 

 

The Grove Day was just as much of a sucess as the team had on the field! After packing up we had a chance to relax :o)
