Go Aggies! Go!


As many of you know, the epic battle between the BYU Cougars and the USU Aggies took place last Friday night. With the Ags being ranked 116th in the nation (if you aren't aware, that's almost the very bottom...) and the Cougs being ranked 8th, we all thought it was going to be a blow out, that is everyone except for my dear husband, who says he'll never lose faith in his Ags even if they are at rock bottom. Luckily for me it shows just how faithful he is. Anyway, back to that game...
Brett's sister Natalie and her husband, Greg, attended BYU and are quite the BYU fans (needless to say, they are the outcasts of the family). All of Greg's family are huge BYU fans so we have a friendly family rivally between us all and Nat put a poll on her blog to see who Garrett should cheer for at the game. Sadly, BYU won, but of course, not without cheap play. Natalie and Garrett did attend the game and sat with Aggie fans and they both cheered for the Aggies. Here are just a few pictures of Garrett at the game (notice that he is extremely happy in the USU shirt and as soon as we put the BYU hat on him he started bawling) This kid knows what's up.



The Aggies put up a dang good fight against the Cougs and scored WAY more points then probably anyone thought they would. We only scored 14 but if they would've had one more play they would have scored another one. We got the job done and made them drop in rankings to 9th. :) WAY TO GO AGGIES!


Brett sported this shirt to the game... We loved it! His boss made a whole bunch of them and gave one to Brett. The school also made some that said "YBU" on the front and on the back it said: "Win or lose, you still live in Provo." Unfortunately, I did not get a picture.




Even with all the good things that have been previously mentioned this is my favorite... Anyone who knows the fans at Utah State knows that they always have something crazy going on. For example, no one likes to place USU Basketball at home because it's always SO loud in there and the fans are always taunting the other players. The Dee Glen Smith Spectrum is ranked as one of the hardest places to play in the nation, and it's all thanks to the fans. Our football standium would probably be up there too but it's hard to cheer for a team that isn't as good as they could be. Ok, so I'll get down from my soap box and tell you my #1 favorite thing from the game: It was this sign, which reads, "BYU - keeping ugly girls out of Utah State since 1888" and I couldn't agree more! Go Aggies!

It is quite obvious from the pictures who Garrett was cheering for. It looks like Brett is getting ready for the deer hunt with his beard. I think he actually looks quite stunning. I sure missed going to the Woman's Conference with all you ladies. I am hoping that you will be coming to UEA. It will be such fun!

The game was a blast! Garrett was quite the hot commodity. The ugly girls sign cracks me up every time. I am one of those ugly girls, but it was still pretty funny. I'm hoping the weather warms up so we can go to another game. I love the Ags but not enough to sit through subzero temps and a blizzard. Can't wait to see you tomorrow!
