I'm not going to lie to you...it's been really tough to see our beloved Utes, shall we say, not up to par. We aren't trying to be fair-weathered fans at all....come on...we are the ones that stay until the VERY END of every game and also sit through the freezing drizzle rain and snow. We have even taught our little kids the Ute Fight Song. But, we gave up our football tickets this year. Our kids are involved in a lot of things right now and it was difficult to do the kid thing and still try to support our Utes by attending games.
We are taking all the 'smack' being handed to us by various loved ones.
It's ok...we can handle it.
We weren't sure what we wanted to do when Jim offered us 2 tickets to the UCLA game.
We were at the UCLA game last year at the Rose Bowl.
Let me remind you that the game was NOT FUN!
We cooked in the heat and then got spanked on the football field.
However, we decided to go to the game today.
Oh, how SWEET it is!
We experienced this game as we had so many in days gone by. Hearing the fight song everytime they scored. Jumping out of our seats at each interception or worthy play. Kisses and high-fives for touchdowns! Let me tell you...it's so nice to see my hubby smiling on game day once again!
Thanks to my Mom and Dad for watching the kidlets so we could have FUN! We'll enjoy this win for awhile...hope is alive!
One of my favorite moments of the day was when Brandon told his Dad to put on his twiner Utes shirt. I wish I had a picture, but Brandon was so tired after last night (Mike's plane was late and we didn't pick him up until 12:30AM) and missing his nap, that he didn't make it home awake. Also, we enjoyed getting phone calls and texts from the 'various loved ones' all throughout the game.
GO UTES!

YEAH, BABY!!! GO UTES!!!
If Tulsa can hang on, this is one day to really remember.
Go UTES!!!! I am so glad this is the game we got to watch on tv (it would've been better to actually be there, but we'll make due!) I know Steve had fun texting Mike throughout the game too.
Keep it up UTES! (Oh, and what a Cougar game too :))
You're welcome!! We had fun keeping the girls updated, too. They enjoyed the fun even though they weren't there. It was fun to have Papa get involved with the little boys, too. They were all just great.
Tucker would be SO jealous. Glad you got to go!
