During the game several signs were better
than a single sign to get the crowd involved |
David Lewis stops to give a short summary of
the 1836 Alamo. |
Some of the specialty food served was
Clams, Wings, Shrimp and Oyster Roasts by the gals. My favorite was the
wings plus the famous salad. |
.
Fans were very active before the game having fun. A picture is worth
1,000 words. |
Dr. Bobby Moser, College of Food,
Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, confirmed that indeed OSU will
win the 2004 Alamo Bowl at the Ice Cream Social Tuesday night. |
One of the tour stops took us to Station #1
to visit the San Antonio Fireman. After a 30 flight stair workout, the
firemen were happy to take a break. |
While on the boat ride we spotted Jerry
Vance, Franklin County OSU Alumni member, waving to the fans on the boat. |
