The Holy War

As you have seen we got season tickets this year for the Utah games. We have really loved going to them. The Big Game was coming up and Jason said that he was going to put our tickets on KSL. I was okay with that because we would get $1,000. The game was getting closer and closer and he lowered the price a little, and I was still okay. The Thursday before the game I was talking to some coworkers about the game and telling them that I was going if we didn't sell our tickets. I didn't think that they would sell being so close to the day of the game. Well, later that same day after all of the students had gone I called Jason to see how work was going and he told me that he sold our tickets and for a lot cheaper than I had thought. I was not a very happy person. Okay, I didn't really want to talk to him. I asked him if he could call and tell the lady never mind, but she had already picked them up. When I got off the phone with him I was really mad, I had gotten myself all hyped up just that day to go see the game, and this was really a once in a lifetime opportunity because of the seasons both of the teams were having. After stewing for awhile in anger and frustration I called Jason back and told him to call that lady he sold our tickets to and see if he could buy her tickets. She had only needed one more ticket, she already had two, but they wouldn't have been by each other so she was buying ours and going to be selling her other two. He called her and left a message. Meanwhile, I am at working really upset that I am not going to be going to the game. I was emailing my brother telling him what was going on and he couldn't believe it either. He asked me if I was mad enough to cheer for BYU and I replied Go Cougs. Jason called me back a little bit later and told me that he had contacted someone else with tickets and was going to buy them for the same price he sold ours, actually $10 cheaper. So in the end we did end up going to the game and cheered our hearts out. It was really exciting to be there and watch the action in person. We were happy that the Utes had another victory. I am not going to lie I shed some tears over thinking I was not going to be able to go, and those that know me know that I am not the biggest football fan. But this year I have really gotten into going to the games. All in all I learned that if I really want something bad enough all I have to do is shed some tears.

Another Huge Win!

Yeah for the Utes!
We went to the big Utah vs TCU game last night, and wow is all I can say! we have been taking tracks to the games which is nice because we don't have to worry about parking and it lets us off right at the stadium. I couldn't get off work yesterday until 4:30 so Jason came and picked me up from work, and we headed out to tracks. We just barely missed a train, so when the next one got there it was getting full already. We rode up to the station where you have to change train and got on another one to take us to the University. Can you say packed? I have never been so squished in my life! Unfortunately we missed the train that was a direct route to the stadium, but we made it there in one piece. Joy wasn't able to use her ticket so we had Andy come with us. We got there just in time for the kick-off. We were on our feet almost the entire night, which is good because there were so many people there we didn't all fit on the bench. When we would sit down I would sit on Jason's lap to give us extra room. I was getting sad close to the end of the game thinking that the winning streak was over. We all couldn't believe it when TCU missed their fieldgoal attempt twice! We are really glad that Louie is on our team or those would have been made for sure, King Louie is AMAZING! Around the last couple of minutes Utah had a huge drive and were able to score a touchdown!!! The crowd literally went wild. We were then up 13 to 10, but there was enough time for TCU to make a couple good plays and score again. They were marching the ball down the field and getting in fieldgoal distance when a pass was intercepted. Wow, I haven't heard so much yelling in all my life! The field was rushed and boy did they pull off a big win! We are excited for the last 2 games of the regular season. GO UTES!!!
