BCS HERE WE COME!!!!

Well today the day we've been waiting for has finally come. After having to listen to all the cocky BYU fans talk smack with nothing to back it up with we have clinched a spot in a BCS game. We camped out for two day in the freezing cold to get tickets, but it was totally worth it. With a sold out crowd in Rice-Eccles we watched our boys take us to a 48-24 win over the cougers.....That's right 48-24!! It was great with 7 mins left in the game almost every byu fan took the walk of shame out into the parking lot for the long, lonely drive back to Utah County. Needless to say, it was a sweet game! Most of Brian's family was there for the game, his uncle Larry flew in from Tennessee, and Riley and Dave drove down from Boise. Not to mention the regulars of Garry, Bob, Maysel and Eric. It's a good day to be a UTE!

Camping out at a ticket window, and not even for AC/DC...

With the Ute's big win Thurday night over TCU, Utah is now 10-0 which means thier game against BYU on Nov 22 is going to be a big one. Because of this the tickets for students are a pretty hot item right now, (well by looking at stubhub any ticket is a hot item right now). Well we really wanted to go, so we ended up standing in line to get tickets. By standing in line we mean we set up a tent and camped out for 2 days in front of the stadium waiting in line to get tickets. It was cold, but it wasnt too bad. Brian's brother Eric was there too, so the three of us took shifts waiting in line. The line went from the ticket window, all the way around the stadium, up the road and around the parking lot by the roundabout....if you arent familiar with the campus that's way long. We got there early and were really close to the front of the line. It paid off, 23 hrs of sleeping on the cold cement, freezing our butts off, not getting any sleep (cause we were 10 feet from the main road), and we have seats!! Go Utes!!

Halloween...

This year we went up to Boise to visit Brian's sister Heather's family for Halloween. It was also really cool beacause his other sister Heidi came in from Alabama, and it was the first time all the kids have been in the same place in about a year. We had a party at Heather's housem and everyone had pretty funny costumes. We went as Dog the Bounty Hunter and his wife Beth. If you dont know what that is check them out at: http://www.dogthebountyhunter.com/ , Heather and Dave went as an outlet and plug...also pretty funny. The kids looked great in their costumes also. It was a great trip, always good to see the family!

Brian's Birthday

Well it's that time again....time for me (Brian) to get older. This year it's the big 26!! (don't worry I knows that's really old.) Once again Jenn gave me an amazing birthday, not only did she give me new hiking shoes, the new guitar hero game, grizzlies hockey tickets....she also made me an awesome dinner, and a weekend up in Park City, away from school, and studying. If that wasn't great enough I also got to go to the Utah vs TCU game, and got another present, this one from the football team, a last minute win to extend run to 10-0 this season and a little bit closer to a BCS game. It was a great birthday, even if I wish I wasn't so old.
