C*I*T*A*D*E*L

We had fun at the Citadel Basketball banquet this year.
Matt Clark spoke on behalf of all the basketball players and
he paid tribute to Baba...Bulldog Barney and his red nose!!



Matt is a great player and a wonderful young
man. He and all the other teammates really love Baba.

We already miss the college basketball season...



Okay, maybe it is the guys I really miss!!

It's two Woody's....

Woody say hi to Woody!!



Woody has good taste...



Good taste in everything...



Looks like Woody still has a thing for Marilyn...
what can we say, it is in his genes!!

Strike a pose...

Woody is our very own Greek model.
Look at him pose...



More modeling from Woody...we could have a
career possibility here...Hello, Baby GAP!!



But Woody had to remind us that he has a very macho
side to him as well. Look at him flexing is muscles...

Seeing Double...

Isn't that cute, Woody and Uncle Barney dress alike!!



Wait for me, please!!



Hey, where did everyone go??



Okay, maybe Woody does look like his mother Chrissy...

March 25th...

HAPPY GREEK INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!!!



To celebrate Baba brought home a cute
little cake with the Greek flag on it and
Mama sang the Greek National Anthem:
Hymn to Liberty
Imnos stin Eleftheria.



Long Live Greece!!!

March Madness!!

It was a great season for Citadel Basketball.
We went to almost every Citadel home game with Baba.
Baba has become legendary and all the players and
coaches think of Baba as a member of the team.



Even the cheerleaders love Baba. In fact, they
want to get him his very own "official" cheerleader outfit
for next season. He was very flattered by the offer!!

Baba working the crowd...

Pre-Game Show

This is how Baba gets everyone ready for the game.



And yes Baba has his very one cow bell with is cadet
picture on it. He just loves to use it.
Let's make some noise...


This is Baba with "Big Joe"
At 7'2" tall Joe makes Baba look short...

Famous Red Nose...

Baba adds the life and fun to each
of the Citadel basketball games. He makes the television
newscast almost every home game...



No wonder he has so many peeps!!

He does it all for his fans...

Bulldog Barney and his red nose is becoming a must
at every game!! The people are starting to demand it!!

Dinner with the team...

Every year we get to have a dinner on campus with
the team. We always enjoy spending time
with the guys. They are a really great group of kids.
Becca we have some guys we want you to meet....

We have told the guys all about my cousin Becca.
How beautiful, smart and talented she is and how she can
play a great game of basketball. The guys are excited to
one day meet her and after seeing her picture they
agree that she is very beautiful!!

Plus Becca's a Bulldog and the Citadel guys are Bulldogs...

that must be a sign!!
So Becca when are you coming down to Charleston?

Baba is always up to something but this time it was Spike

the Bulldog who played a joke on Baba...

It was a great season and we look forward to next year!!

Let it snow...

In Charleston!!
Last weekend we got almost four inches of snow!!
I know, I know my cousins in Maryland, Ohio and
Indiana are just laughing at that but for Charleston, SC
that was one of our biggest winter storms ever!!
Just take a look...

YES...SNOW!!!

Although the snow fell late in the night Socrates
and I still went out to play in it!!
And it is a good thing we did because it melted
as soon as the sun came out the next morning!









Okay, I know it doesn't compare to Marilyn Monroe's
but it's a start.

Still Christmas??

Okay, I know it is February now and I am just getting
to posting the rest of Christmas stuff but it was a very
busy January and I will be doing more updates on that
stuff as well but let me finish Christmas first!!

This is my favorite picture. I just love it!!



Woody really loves his tiger...



Emma protested saying she loves her
Clemson tigers more!!



Christmas dinner was wonderful. The food was
delicious and no asparagus was burnt in the process!
We were all so full we couldn't move from
the table. Chrissy and Woody had the right idea!!
