Yesterday we journeyed to Winston for the first time to kick off our season of football fanning for our Deacons. Carolyn and Chuck drove up with us and, though last week was our home opener, we considered this week the Deacons' real beginning. After our disappointing outing with Baylor last week, this week the Deacs finally got it together in the 2nd half to defeat the Stanford Cardinal 24-17. Here we go Deacons!
Another highlight was getting to see sweet Monica at the game, her sweet Deacon tat, and her meet her family - most importantly her precious little niece, Lucy. Mon and company were in town with her brother PJ - a fellow Deacon.
On the way home, we started talking about the Stanford mascot and what in the world was up with that Tree of theirs ... Wikipedia has a great entry below for those are interested in a fascinating story of an even more fascinating mascot...
