So my Utes beat BYU in the big game on Saturday and are still undefeated! YES!!!! GO UTES!!!!This means we will be going to a BCS bowl! YEAH! It really was a good day if your blood runs red!
Now, I wanted to also mention that I am sad. That of all the special days in the year, the day I miss being in Utah with my family is inevitably the BYU/Utah game every year. (Especially when the Utes win). I LOVE the rivalry! I love the trash talk and I love watching my Utes win! Admittedly the day does have a bit of a damper on the occasion BYU wins...but a big part of the fun for me is all the leading up to the game. Now, I realize this seems silly that I miss that feeling of intense fans rallying behind their teams for a big football game when I live in Nebraska. Here, every Huskers game day has that feel in the whole darn state. And it doesn't even have to be a game with as big a rivalry as BYU and Utah. Every game is intense here. The state practically shuts down for the Huskers-they broadcast it in stores, the grocery stores pipe it in on the intercoms. I have tried to be a Huskers fan and get into the feel of it, but I have learned I am a Utah Man...er woman (sorry got caught up and started singing the song in my head). I love my UTES and I LOVE that they won.
GO UTES!!!!!

Yes, go Utes!! It was a good day to be a Ute fan on Saturday. . . not so good for Jeremy and the other BYU fans out there. :)
I think that's hilarious that they pipe the Huskers games into the intercom system at grocery stores-wow!
I'm not a huge football fan, but I was devestated that the cougars got so thoroughly creamed!!! Next year, we will so be handing it to you guys! (as if I have any idea what I'm talking about!!!)
Go Utes! It was such a fun game, my kids have been totally into it this year.
Ouch is all I can say.
