Link-Up with The Belles of Saturday - Week 13

I CANNOT believe this past weekend marked the end of the regular season in college football.  It was a very bittersweet weekend for me.  I am sad because it was our last game of our year (other than our bowl game!) but excited because NC State came from being behind TWENTY SEVEN points late in the third quarter to beat Maryland 56-41.  We scored FORTY TWO unanswered points.  It was the second biggest comeback between two ACC teams in ACC history and the biggest comeback ever at NC State!! I watched it go down and person and still am shocked at how in the world it happened.  

Today I am linking up with The Belles of Saturday to share my Gameday pics.  I haven't posted pics from our last few home games, so these are a mix of picture.

A glimpse of our new tailgating bus.  I'll have to do a full post on this at a later date.

A girl at the tailgate next to mine at the last game made these Turkey treats and I had to get a pic!

I love that we have police horses!

Football office friends!

Ok, so I need a little blush, well a lot, but we were so pumped after our gigantic comeback!!!

Link-Up with The Belles of Saturday - Week 5

Today I'm linking up with the Belles of Saturday to share my Gameday pictures from our game this weekend.  We played Georgia Tech at home.  We did not win... but at NC State, tailgating is our specialty, so in that respect, Saturday was a good day!

My red flats I got from Target. (They're not that comfortable yet, but hopefully they'll get there soon...)

 

Trying to perfect my spiral...

I am not there yet... 

Me and my favorite little Wolfpacker, Ellie!

Go Pack!

I heart that NC State has police on horses!

 Thanks to my cousin Laine again for her photog skills, I need a fancy camera like yours!

Gameday Picture Link-Up - Week 3

Linking up over at the Belles of Saturday to share a few Gameday pictures from this past weekend.  Good news is we won. Bad news is that even though it was in the 80's on Thursday, by Saturday at 1pm when I got out there to tailgate, it was COLD.  Like see your breath cold.  I had a new, beautiful one-shoulder red dress from Vestique to wear, butttt that wasn't happening.  Instead I wore two coats, a long sleeve shirt, 4 pairs of socks, and my Hunter boots. and I wish I had of had gloves.  I know I am cold natured, but even the guys were talking about how cold it was.  Not real sure what I'm going to do for our games in November...  

I heart Laine's jeans. They are from Old Navy

Stylin' in our winter clothes in September

Promised Payton he would make the blog this week!

I have nooo idea how they were wearing shorts...

Funniest thing I've seen all year. Don't even know what it is, but it's motorized.

Thanks again to my cousin Laine for her photog skills and for taking these pics!

Link-Up with The Belles of Saturday - Week 2

Today I'm linking up over at The Belles of Saturday again.  

This weekend I went to our game at Wake Forest.  There was way more red in the stands than black, but unfortunately, the number of fans you bring to an away game doesn't put any points on the board... It was an ugly game and we lost.  I won't go into all the details (because it'll get my blood pressure up again) but we have a WHOLE LOT of work to do.  The only thing that was positive was our kicking game.  Below are the pictures I took.  I played cornhole the whole time we tailgated and failed to get any pictures of tailgating and I certainly wasn't in any kind of mood to take any after the game, so these are all I got.  At least it was a pretty day....

 

There was WAY more red in the stands than black. 

There was an air show going on near the stadium during the game.  It was pretty awesome to see this stealth bomber fly by...

I was trying to get a picture to show you all the pastel colors in the student section, but it's kind of hard to see.  I've never seen so many pastel colors at a football game in my life....

On another note, I saw this commercial last night and it may be one of the best commercials I have ever seen. It makes me want to switch to State Farm insurance ASAP.  Watch it, trust me, it will not disappoint... God Bless the USA, we will never forget what happened 10 years ago!

Link-up with The Belles of Saturday - Week 1

Today I'm linking up over at The Belles of Saturday to share my tailgating pictures from the NC State game this past weekend.  I am SO GLAD that football season and tailgating are back!  Being inside of a college football stadium is one of the greatest feelings ever.  Below are some pictures from yesterday.  Thanks to my cousin Laine for taking most of these (she has a fancy camera!)

Intro to The Belles of Saturday

Today's the day!!  As I mentioned on Friday, Ashton and I have been working on something we are really excited and passionate about.  After finding each other blogs and having lots of gchat conversations, Ashton and I quickly learned that we share a passion for football and decided we should start a blog devoted to our love for the game. 

and so it was born... 

The Belles of Saturday  

A blog that's devoted to the traditions of Saturdays (and occasional Thursdays) in the South. We will discuss everything from gameday fashion to offensive pass interference to tailgating must-haves. Focusing on the teams and towns of the Southeastern Conference and the Atlantic Coast Conference, we will cover everything that makes Saturdays in the South so special and exciting. 

We hope to get a link-up started when the season begins for everyone to share their gameday pictures that they'll be posting on their blogs!  We also welcome guest posters.  We'd love input about your school and traditions and we are going to be featuring a lot of tailgating recipes!  

 

Since it's football season and it sadly doesn't last nearly long enough, I'll be devoting most of time to The Belles of Saturday and won't be on here quite as much.  I'll still be posting some stuff on here, just not every day. 

If you like football and tailgating or want to learn more about the game, come check us out!
