Coincidences of the Interesting Kind

We had a very interesting football season, all with our tailgating friends. But the most fun day was the first game. We had arrived the night before, and after many of our guests arrived, the party to the west of us arrived. Since they give their tickets away a lot, we had no idea who would be there. When the black SUV drove in, we waved to the occupants and went on with our tailgating. Not long after they got set up, Don walked out of our RV to see Gene Taylor, our AD, standing there. Don commented to him that he (Gene) was currently being interviewed on the radio - ah the marvels of technology - and although we had no idea why Gene was there, Don took it stride. But then we noticed that Kevin Lockett was at the tailgate; and Darnell McDonald; and several other KSU players. And then it dawned on us. Our new neighbor for the day was Jordy Nelson. We introduced our dogs to his daughter, Adda, who said to us, "That's my daddy's name." And soon we introduced the dogs to Jordy who kindly allowed us to take a picture with him.

We thought that his crew was only there for the day, but we found out later that he would be there all year. We hope we didn't scare him off with our crazy crew and that he will be back next year :)
