Daily Life With The Buechels: Big 12 Champs!!

About 2 months ago Brett & I bought tickets to the Big 12 Championship game for college football. We knew that Texas had a good chance of going and we didn't want to miss out on this HUGE game.

We decided Audree would have been a handful and decided to leave her with my mom for the afternoon. We left out of town around 1 and we had so much fun on the way there. We talked, laughed and it was nice to have some quality time with the hubby.

Once we got into Arlington we stopped at The Cheesecake Factory. We had never eaten here, but we were told it was delicious. The menu was like 20 pages!! Now Im a veeeeeeeeery picky eater so I didn't care for my plate, but Brett ♥ ed his. It looked really good too. After lunch we had to taste their cheesecake, after all its what they are famous for. We had a piece of Dulche de Leche and it was OUT OF THIS WORLD!

After lunch we headed to the stadium. Of course Mapquest, once again, was NO GOOD and it led us in the wrong direction. So once we got turned around and BACK on track we were good to go. Tailgaters were EVERYWHERE and the parking lot was full! We got into our lot (#10) and it was waaaaay to cold to stand outside! The Dallas Cowboy Stadium is AMAZING! This thing is HUGE and everthing is top notch! I was blown away when we walked in.

We got to our seats and I was so ready for the game to start. We had very good seats, but Ill say even if you sat at the very top, WHICH IS WAAAAAAAAY UP THERE, it's still not a bad seat. 5 Nebraska fans were sandwiched in between all of us die hard UT fans. Everytime they would make a play,they would turn around and high five each other and have the nerve to look at all of us UT fans and try to high five us. I wanted to show this guy who was boss haha and I did at the end of the game. We were up and down the whole game and I was whooped by the end! Sometimes I seem to forget that Im 5 months pregnant and well when I jump around and hoop and hollar poor little Ashlyn was probably shaken to death in there! I know she had her little horns up though!!

Nebraska didn't score any touchdowns, they were all field goals and UT only scored 1 touchdown and 2 field goals. In the 4th quarter UT was up by 2, when Nebraska scored a field goal with only 1:44 left in the game. My heart was sinking because I honestly didn't think they would come back down the field to score. However, once again they proved EVERYBODY wrong and got into field goal range. Colt threw the last pass play on the 3rd down with just seconds left on the clock, it was incomplete. Nebraska fans started cheering and rushing the field, little did they knew we had 1 second left on the clock! 1 second has never meant more to so many people than it did last night. Hunter Lawrence had to kick 46-yard field goal in order for Texas to win. My heart was beating out of my chest and everyone around us had their hands over the heads and were praying for them to make this. The kick went up and THROUGH! The whole stadium erupted and we all were jumping up and down. We all gave each other high fives and I looked at Brett and gave him the biggest hug! Remember the Nebraska fans who were being smart a's during the game? I reached over, touched his shoulder, threw up my horns and said hige five anyone? HAHA I know I know, but I just had to do it!

The crowd went wild, burnt orange and white confetti was all over the stage, and Mack Brown accepted the Big 12 Champ trophy. We stayed and watched the presentation before heading out. Ill admit, UT did not come with their A game last night, but all that matters is the won at the very end. They won the Big 12 Champion title and we couldn't be any happier.

NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP HERE WE COME!
