mississippi state is the number one team in the nation.

i just had to type that sentence out.  it's never happened before, and it may never happen again in my lifetime.  (hey, i'm a state fan.  i've learned to be realistic!)  but, but....this week, we are at the top of the heap.  i know everybody else across the nation thinks that all of the bulldog fans are crazy.  however, they just don't understand!  we have been at the very, very bottom of the football pile.  we have walked out of davis wade while dragging our cowbells behind us after losing to maine.  yes, the bears of maine.  did you even know that maine had a football team?  it was not one of our finer moments.  but saturday, after winning the previous weekend on the biggest day in the history of football in mississippi, we beat the #2 auburn tigers.  and now we are #1.  every storm runs out of rain, and it's sunny in starkville, people!!!

as a side note, reed had added a new decoration to the kitchen wall for inspiration.  i may frame it.

college gameday rolled into town (for the first time ever), so we made sure to get to town early.  it was packed!!  i don't know how that little piece of earth held that many people.  it was chaotic.  it was loud.  and, it was perfect!!  i had a picture of us at game day, but it disappeared off of my phone somehow.

anticipation built as we waited out the few hours before the game!

we made it to the front row for the dawg walk before the game.  we got high fives from dak...

and josh robinson...

 and then the real fun began!!

it was the biggest crowd in history...almost 63,000 people....and they all looked as surprised as william when we went up 21-0 in the first quarter!!

it had to be the longest football game in the history of ever.  i don't know how cbs managed to drag it out like they did, but they did.  it ended up raining for a little bit, and we all got wet.  but, when you win the biggest game ever in school history, a little wet doesn't matter a bit!!  the crowd was crazy, and i happened to be with the happiest birthday boy in the world at that moment!

nobody wanted to leave the stadium!

we have watched the replay 4 times, wes can tell you each play of the entire game in the order that they happened, and the game has been played out numerous times in our front yard since saturday!

and, even siri knows who the best team is if you ask!

it's a little surreal.  we've been on the cover of sports illustrated for two weeks in a row.  espn talks about us.  it's on the front page every day.  you can't get on the internet without seeing a new article.  other schools want our coach.

little, ol' mississippi state has showed up at the party.  we might be a little late, and it may not be for long, but we sure are enjoying it while it lasts!  go dawgs!!!
