This past weekend, the Baylor Bears took on the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs in Fort Worth for a very nerve-racking game. This was a very big game for Baylor after our loss to Oklahoma State University and an even bigger game for my family because I have a twin brother who attends TCU.

Each year, my parents try to be as fair as possible when cheering for the teams, but they secretly wanted Baylor to win more this year because there was more riding on the game for us.

This year, the game was very close and an exciting game to watch! Unlike the beginning of Baylor’s season, this game required the audience to stay for the entire game because the score was so close up until the end. As you can see from the picture to the left, my mom did a good job at dividing up her green and purple this year (way more green than purple). I can happily say that at the end of the game, my mom no longer had that scarf or disrespectful sticker on! Each year my parents have tried to be as fair as possible with the colors they wear, but my mom has claimed in the past that purple looks better on her than green. She got it right this year though.

I watched the game in TCU’s student section with my brother, Jonathon, and his friends, and was given strange looks when my brother’s friends confused me with him. I got a few punches at the beginning of the game because people thought I was my brother and were wondering why he was wearing green! Once they realized I was not Jonathon, they surprisingly were still not very friendly! It might have been because I was cheering for Baylor the whole time, but that’s just a thought!

TCU’s recently renovated stadium was very nice, but I do not think it will compare to Baylor’s come Fall 2014! During the final minutes of the game, when the sun had already set (sunset picture below), all TCU and Baylor fans were on their feet hoping for a win. It was a hard sight to watch as TCU got closer and closer to a touchdown, but I was hoping Baylor would somehow pull it off. Within the last minute, Baylor intercepted the ball, bringing looks of anger to most TCU student’s face, but cheers of happiness from my mouth. I can happily say that during my and my brother’s senior year, the bears beat the frogs! Sic ‘Em!
