Yesterday, we were treated to a fun day in Manhattan, KS - home of the Kansas State Wildcats. They hosted, Sandy's alma mater - the UCLA Bruins - for the first game of their 2010 football season.
It's hard to describe 51,000 K-state fans who were REALLY into the game. Nearly everyone was wearing purple. This picture does not adequately convey the energy in the stadium.
But not everyone was a K-state fan. There were about 100 or so UCLA fans. I know, 51,000 to 100 doesn't quite seem fair. Can you see the smattering of powder blue in the sea of purple?
The most important UCLA fans were right here - 2 faithful alumni. Unfortunately, all their cheering could not overcome the 51,000 and the mighty Bruins fell 31 to 22. Congrats to K-state and all their fans.
Thanks again to the Wernli family for their generosity and treating us to quite the Kansas experience. We had a great time!
If only Emery had been there! She's so loud I think her voice might have overcome at least 10,000 people. :)

This is so neat! John's nephew (a sophomore there) plays defense for UCLA (he's "red shirted this year) but is on the sidelines until next year. So, we're now UCLA fans!
