Rise and Shout!

The BYU football team only comes to Florida every once in a while, so when they finally do come this way, I have to take advantage.  Me, my dad, and my brother Chris made the trek to Orlando to watch them play the University of Central Florida last Thursday.  Even though the ending was not what I wanted, (and we got completely ROBBED on the non pass interference call on the last play of the game) it turned out to be one of the more entertaining sporting events I have ever been to. Interceptions, turnovers, missed field goals, blocked kicks, sitting by my family, jockey jokes, cats and dogs living together, overtime- it really was quite a game to witness in person!  Although , the best part had to be getting to sing the BYU fight song three times, which is something I haven't legitimately gotten to do even once in a very long time.  Singing it after I get my paycheck each month doesn't really count. And a big thank you goes out to the BYU football team for scoring three touchdowns in a row, right in front of where we were sitting. It was a beautiful thing :)

Exhibit A of why I never take any kind of selfie. But, great face, Chris.

During the game my dad and I were reminiscing about going to the games at LaVell Edwards Stadium back when we were students at the Y.  And that got me thinking about something else...
