It was the first home game! And we were so excited. We had the whole evening planned out - we'd drop the girls off at Vai's house, hit the Fua's tailgate party, then watch the Cougars beat the Ute's at LaVell Edwards stadium. Yup. That was the plan. Unfortunately, all didn't go according to plan.
Of course, the party was the bomb. When Wayne said we were going to a tailgate party, I assumed we'd be eating hot dogs and hamburgers out of the back of someones truck. The first thing I saw when we arrived was the pigs, two of them, turning on the spit in the parking lot . . . and I knew we were gonna have a feast. There was a huge white tent with sofas set up and two ginormous flat screen TV's tuned to ESPN for those outside the stadium. Then there were the million trays and coolers of food - it was pretty incredible. Anyway, the food was deeelicious and the music and company was wonderful. We totally enjoyed the party and laughed and smiled the whole time.
And then the party was over. We entered the stadium and witnessed the worst, most terrible game I've ever seen. The Cougars were demolished by Utah (54-10) and to add more salt to the wound, my little brother Michael wasn't given the opportunity to shine in his position and the players that were in made several mistakes that led to opponent scoring. Aargh! It was quite frustrating - we were totally bummed and we didn't smile or laugh at all . . .
Except when we saw Inoke.
We still love BYU.
Goooo Cougars!

Oh, Mary! It was bad. We flew up for the game and what a disappointment. We were also at the Texas game the week before so you can imagine that our "BYU tour" was a little discouraging :) We are not giving up hope yet though and will cheer them on the rest of the season. My husband is a Die Hard Fan, so we are in it to the very end. Love the pictures of your day.
