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.
