Ring dunking

On Saturday we had some family and friends over to watch the A&M vs. 'Bama game and to cheer Eric on as he dunked his ring.  We were just going to grill some meat and watch the game while drinking a few beers.  What an afternoon it turned out to be!

First off, A&M jumped out to a 20-0 lead against Alabama and you knew the game was going to be fantastic!   At half time (with the Aggies still ahead) we all went outside to watch Eric dunk his ring.   

Posing for the camera:

The ring is in!  Time to go get it!

One final mental motivation:

There he goes!  And man, did he chug it down!

24 seconds later, he had his ring!  (That's right - he drank the pitcher of Dos Equis in  24 seconds!)

My Dad helping out with the grilling (Eric survived and didn't get sick, but we kept him away from the grill.)

Nice shirt Dad!

Uncle Pete with Emily and Daddy:

Well, everyone already knows how the game turned out - A&M beat Alabama 29-24 in probably the biggest upset of the season.  Way to go Aggies!
