The Good Old Boys (BYU Fans)

Well, it has been a very long while since I have posted anything on this beast. I need to post my feelings about the new USU Football coaching staff, but that will have to wait a bit longer. This past Friday Amanda and I were able to hook up with a couple of my ex-mission companions/really good friends and their wives for dinner at the Red Robin in Layton. It was really great to catch up on life with Brad and Brick and to meet their wives. It had been almost four years since I had seen those guys. It was super cool to talk about the good old days back on the mish in Chile as well as remember so many of the friends we made down there. Emorie has recently developed this thing where she gets really bored and thus hard to handle at restaurants. Since she has started walking all over the world it just drives her nuts to have to sit still. It was still great for the old mission crew to get to meet her.

I would also like to make a qualifying statement about BYU fans at this time. Brad graduated from BYU, and Brick is attending the U of U, but grew up in BYU land thus they are both BYU fans. If you know me well you might commonly hear me comment on the annoying, prideful nature of BYU fans. Let me just say that there are at least a few, including these friends of mine, that do not fit that mold. They are quality fans that simply want to support their school, and although I will never find great joy in Cougar success, I can support where Brick and Brad are coming from. Here's to you guys and to all collegiate sports in the state of Utah. May next year be full of success across the board. But especially, Go State!!!

P.S. Brad loves to see the Aggies do well, and Brick is also a huge fan of the boys in Logan!!!

Way to represent guys!

Show Your True Blue!

I just found out that BYU fans are being encouraged to wear white to the game. For all you Aggie fans heading to the ESA, be sure to have on your true blue aparrel in order to drown out the white Cougars. Go State!!!

USU/BYU Preview

So here is my most non-bias take on Saturday's big game. I will go ahead and say that BYU's backcourt that includes Cummard and Tavernari is a little more talented and definetely more experienced than the Aggies backcourt including Myaer, and Quayle. However, it is also clear to me that USU's inside game is much more talented and experienced than BYU's. I firmly believe that a strong inside game will trump a strong outside game any day of the week. That being said, as long as Wilkinson and Wesli can hold their own inside I predict a 76-71 win for my very own true blue Aggies of Utah State. Me, Amanda and Emorie will be there along with various members of my and Amanda's family screaming our guts out for the Ags. I hope to see as many true blue as possible as we bring the Spectrum to Dave Rose (that is terrified of playing in Logan for good reason) and Salt Lake City. Go State!!!
