A Visit to: UT

I graduated from Texas A&M University located in College Station, Texas and am an Aggie through and through. For those of you that do not know…Texas A&M is a university entrenched in tradition…very deep tradition. A few traditions that come to mind are Aggie Muster, Elephant Walk, Aggie ring, no walking on the grass around the Memorial Student Center, Reveilles’ graves placement so they can see the score of the game, the 12th man, Silver Taps, Gig’em, Howdy-and so many more. For those of you unfamiliar with the Texas college football landscape, the Aggies have a pretty hard core rivalry with the longhorns that reside at the University of Texas which shortens to UT (better know to Aggies as “tu”). I have only ever known one “UT” so it threw me off a little when I got a message from a Florida friend that she went to UT. I got this message while I was at the University of Tampa for a gig with my husband and came to realize that there is another UT! I had been to this other UT before when my husband performed there a few years ago and was excited to go back. The University of Tampa is a beautiful, peaceful and tranquil campus with some of the most amazing architecture. While my husband was setting up for his gig I decided to walk around and take in the campus. Here is a little of what I caught.
