Follow up to the question I asked below

"How much would you pay for a Colt McCoy signature? Seriously, I would love your thoughts (and this is mainly a question for those peeps who love UT)! I will follow up on this later tonight!"

Well, if you are my friend on facebook, you know I went to the mall yesterday (by myself, which hardly ever happens!! YAY ME!) and as I entered the mall I saw a sea of burnt orange. Really, hundreds of people....all decked out in some sort of Texas attire. Obviously there was something going on. Come to find out, Mr. Colt McCoy was there signing autographs! I immediately called Husband to see if they wanted to come up and he couldn't make up his mind. Come to find out, he was half asleep and didn't really remember me calling. So I finish my shopping (thank goodness I wasn't gone that long!) and when I returned, Husband was running around the house telling everyone to get ready to go up to the mall. We had maybe 45 minutes to get back to the mall and wait in line before he left. And after getting in line we learned we were the last ones before the cut off. Can you just imagine Husband and Kole's joy when they heard that news?!

Well, what we didn't know is they were charging to get something signed. OK, so maybe I'm not with it, but I assumed you waited in line and out of the goodness of his heart he signed whatever it was you want signed....BIG. FAT. NO. You had to purchase a ticket for EACH ITEM you wanted signed. Wanna take a guess at how much? Well, I'll just tell you. To get Kole's jersey signed was $90 (plus tax)....pretty much $100 - for ONE item. Kole also brought his Hook 'em sign that his daddy made to have Colt sign it (how cool would that be?!)...



But after hearing the cost, we decided that it would be just too crazy to pay to have two things signed, so the boys decided on his jersey (that he will never wear again, by the way!). Husband plans on having it framed with a couple of the pictures we got. Oh, that's another thing, you could get your picture taken with Colt, but you had to buy another ticket for that as well....man, they made a killing!

Kole's Texas jersey was already special because my brother, Kyle had given it to him and had 'Anderson' put on the back (with Colt's number)...so now it is extra special! Robbie has it tucked put away (high up) so our crazy human dog won't get it (oh, yesterday she ate a phone book....who does that?!). I don't think she will be bothering this (although, I wouldn't put it past her!!!)....





We weren't supposed to take pictures, but by the time Colt got to us, you could tell he (and the peeps with him) were SO ready to go that they didn't even care!

Colt waiting for more photo ops for the people that dished out a few hundred more just for a picture - CRAZY!



And then finally it was our turn for the $100 autograph (I honestly still can't believe we paid that...I am a pretty frugal person so it was is hard for me to swallow), but I know how happy it made Husband and Kole...that's all that matters!





Last time he'll wear that bad boy (Husband promised him a new one...he can't go long without one to wear)...



So, did you guess right? Would you have ever guessed a $100 for ONE autograph. And lastly, am I the ONLY crazy person that thought something like this would be free...ya know, first come first served????

Regardless, my two boys are happy (and still on cloud 9)....and that's all that matters!
