Arkansas vs. LSU

Gary and I got home from Texas late last night and awoke early this morning to sell Razorback gear for Jenkins Enterprises at the game. Gary arrived at 5am this morning to help set up the 14 booths and tents (I didn't have to come until 9).

Laura, her mom (Carole), and sister (Mary Grace) worked a booth with me and Gary. Our booth was on the golf course in the midst of thousands of drunk tailgaters. As you can imagine, we saw some interesting people. However, it was fun to see how the state unites together to support our SEC team.

After half time we packed up our booth, loaded it in Gary's truck, and headed home (the girls that is, poor Gary had to stay until the end). And what an end it was! Arkansas (#12) beat LSU (#5) 31-23. Hopefully this win will take us to the Sugar Bowl.

After the game, the guys loaded up the remaining booths and took the merchandise back to their warehouse. 5am-9pm is a long day, even for these boys!

I'm proud I get to be a part of the company my grandpa, my dad, and my uncle built. Years ago they started out in the porta potty business. Now they import and sell collegiate merchandise for over 60 college teams! What a legacy.

Here are some pictures from our day:










This was the view from our booth:










The Hogs sure have loyal fans! Whoo Pig Sooie!!
