The Holy War, 2009 Edition
November 29, 2009
The kids and I ventured down to Provo today to attend the BYU-Utah rivalry football game. I hadn’t been to a game since the last time BYU hosted the Utes back in 2007. David, Byron, and Betsy had each been to a game before, but Ryan had not, so I was excited that he could be initiated into college football during rivalry week. What made the game even more fun was the fact that the Cougars beat the Utes in overtime, and about 30% of the 65,000 fans rushed the field. It was pretty exciting!
The kids are about to enter the stadium.
The Utes had BYU down 6-0 in the first quarter.
BYU ended up winning, though, and the fans rushed the field.
I got my own souvenirs. The grass with the white paint is from midfield, while the bigger tuft of turf is from the two yard line.
Wow! Talk about special souvenirs! And all I got was a lousy mug with very little hot chocolate!
