BYU Football

For awhile now Jason and Jason Jr have been going to a football game at BYU each year.   Grandpa generously shares his season tickets with any kids/grandkids that want to go and even though my husband isn’t a huge fan Jason LOVES it and so they go.  Well, this year it just so happens that Jason got some free tickets from work to the same game that he was already going to so I got to go with them (I’m pretty sure this is the first football game I’ve been to since I was a freshman at BYU) and Jason brought a friend from school too.  (boy this talking about both of my Jason’s is getting a bit confusing!)

Last week was beautiful weather, clear skies and we spent tons of time outside in the 70 degree weather.  So, of course it was pouring on our way to the game.  We were soaked before we even got to our seats.  Thankfully the rain stopped soon after the game began so we could start drying off a little bit—but not much.  Here are a few pictures of the game (it was an exciting one!).  The bonus was that BYU actually won!  Jason Jr. said they’ve won every game he’s gone to—maybe he needs to go to a few more.  ;)

We sat on the 3rd row—it was the closest I’ve ever sat. Me and Jason-I wanted one of both Jason’s, but never got one. Jason with his friend Riley can you see how wet Jason’s sweatshirt is? I love watching the cougarettes and the cheerleaders.  the marching band has a soft spot in my heart too.  OK, we were sitting pretty close to the Wyoming fans and there were these two guys that were totally cracking me up.  They were screaming, and I mean SCREAMING at the refs and criticizing TONS of the calls and they were both so animated about it.  I’m pretty sure they were father/son or at least related in some way.  I wish I could have gotten a picture of them actually screaming because to me it was hilarious.  I obviously don’t take my football seriously enough.  The ROTC doing pushups for the score. 

It was tons of fun and I think I embarrassed both of my Jason’s with all of my cheering.  They are both more of the sit and watch the game quietly kind of guys.  I figure what’s the fun in it if you don’t yell and cheer a little?  At least as long as you don’t get so angry you look like you might hurt someone over a game.  ;)  For the record I don’t get angry about sports-mostly due to the fact that I barely know the basic rules so I don’t understand enough about the game to get really mad.  :)  I like it that way. 

Are you a die hard sports fan?  Have you ever yelled at the refs when you were watching a game or gotten angry?
