Well, last night was Ben's official first game as a head coach. The Bearcats faced off against the Tigers of Mizzou. My dad, Peyton and I left for the game around 3 while Tate stayed home with Grandma Ackerman. (THANKS GRANDMA!). The trip to Columbia took a little over three hours. When we got there it was time to get in our seats and get ready for the game! As we were walking in, the lights were low and they were introducing the Tigers. I must say, at that ponit I got REALLY nervous for Ben and the team and kept thinking, "YIKES! What did we get ourselves into?!?!" However, the game started and the Bearcats looked fantastic. They led for the first five minutes of the game and then were neck and neck for the first half. We obviously didn't get ANY calls from the officials and made some turnovers due to Mizzou's pressure...but for the most part, we did a great job. I was so proud of Ben and the way his team looked tonight. I know that no matter what, at the end of the day, he can be proud of who he has playing for him this year. I am looking forward to the rest of the season and hope that it is a great one! GO BEARCATS!!!
After the game, we drove back to Maryville. We didn't get home until about 1:00, so it was quite a late one for this mom! Mom and Dad stayed today and then left after dinner. It is so nice to be living close enough to have them be able to come down for events like this. Tomorrow, Ben's mom will be coming down and staying until Tuesday for Ben's first home game. Tate will get to go to that game on Monday night!
