My dad filmed the GameDay footage on his tv screen & emailed it to me. I cannot believe I was on national television! How fitting though that I was on ESPN College GameDay -- one of my favorite shows! There's not much sound with the video, so you can either imagine the GameDay theme music or me shouting "Go Texas! Hook 'em Horns!" at the top of my lungs.
HOOK 'EM HORNS!!!
I had the most fun experience today! ESPN's College GameDay was here in Nashville because the Vanderbilt Commodores are 4-0, which hasn't happened ever. As a huge college football fan, I couldn't really pass up the opportunity to go. Sure, GameDay has been in Dallas for Texas-OU weekend and I haven't had any desire to go, but this was so different. It was so much fun to be a Longhorn in the sea of Commodores!
These are two sweet Vandy girls I met, Andrea & Gracie, who were standing next to me for most of the morning.
College GameDay in Nashville wouldn't be complete without a musician. Can you tell who that is on the right? It's Kenny Chesney! He's a big Tennessee fan, so he didn't get the warmest reception from the 'Dores, but it was still cool that he was there. He made picks with the guys at the end of the show.
And after the show, when most people had already left, he came over & signed some autographs. Pretty awesome! I was hoping that Kirk Herbstreit would follow suit and come over. AND HE DID!!! I was so excited! I LOVE him! I wasn't able to get a pic with him, but he did sign my Home Depot hard hat. I told him that I love watching him & the GameDay crew every week. He looked at me and said "Every week?" "Yes sir!" "Well, I'm impressed."
So aside from meeting Kirk Herbstreit, the highlight of my College GameDay experience was getting on TV!!!! There weren't really any other Texas fans there. I think I saw 2 others when I was in line earlier in the morning. I was right on one of the barricades and was originally standing next to some OU fans. Of course, burnt orange stood out in a sea of black & gold, and the camera men noticed me. They told me to stay put, that they would be coming back to me. When the GameDay crew talked about the 'Horns game tonight, he came over and got some footage of me. As he was filming, I knew he was really close to me. The camera was about 5 inches from my face. But I had no idea just how close the shot was until Denalyn texted me the picture she took of her television (see below). She said she was about to text me when she looked up and my face was on the screen. 
HOOK 'EM HORNS!!!!
