I am a Utah Man, Sir!

Here is the report from Sugar Bowl! I will retell it as well as I can...and Mikey can correct me if needed. He was so excited to go! I'm so glad everything worked out so he could! Mike went with his brothers, Scott & Doug and his Dad, Jim.
They ate at this place: Mothers...some famous place in New Orleans. Mike said their 'famous' sandwich was fine, but nothing to brag about! Here are the boys walking down Bourbon Street. Mike said it's pretty amazing the racey stuff they have out in the window fronts. Definitely not a place for our kids!
Lots of 'Bama fans. Just the opposite of when we went to the Fiesta Bowl and it was mostly Utah fans!
They went to the hotel as the team was getting on the buses to go to the SuperDome! They slapped high fives and Mike told Coach Whit, 'Good luck' and Coach Whit said, "Thanks" and Mike says this is why they won! Way to go, honey!



Coach Whittingham

Here is a building still broken from Hurricane Katrina - Mike just thought it was interesting.

Walking to the game....

The SuperDome!

Go Utah! They would spend a lot of time scoring in this end zone! Utah fans - and Mike & co. sat right above the band

Game on!

Hey Utes! Have a Sugar Bowl Trophy!!!

Bringing it to the fans!

Mike had a GREAT time! But he did say he missed us! When they had left the game, they went looking for a place to eat dinner. Mike started feeling sick! When he got home, he slept for 2 days straight! Full on fever, chills, out cold. At least it held off until after the big game! Go Utes!

That must have been such an amazing experience. What a GAME! We are soooo jealous that he was actually there! We have spent alot of time in New Orleans since my parents lived in Baton Rouge for six years. It's NOT one of my favorite places...definitely not for kiddies, but it's history is cool.
