26-23 Cougars in OT!!!


Wow what a game!!! Well for those that watched they know, and those that missed it, you missed out! The Cougars held a 20-6 lead for much of the game, but nearly collapsed then they gave up 14 in the fourth quarter letting the Utes tie it up. But in dramatic fashion as usual, the Cougars ended up getting the last laugh with Max Hall splitting two defenders and firing a laser to Andrew George for the winning touchdown in overtime, Now known as the "George is still running" play. The game had the high of a blowout, the low of almost blowing it, and the thrill of overtime, it was great fun. We were so glad that we could even make it since less than 24 hours before Jane and I were pretty much on our deathbeds. We have never thrown up so much in so little time. But we got healthy enough to go to the game and it was worth it. Aaaand as I predicted all season long, BYU even broke out the 1984 throwback uniforms in honor of the 25h anniversary of the National Champs. They looked pretty awesome, wish they wore them all the time. Yes, we rushed the field. In 2007 when the Cougars won on the infamous "Magic Happens, 4th and 18" play, Jane stayed back and didn't rush the field with me, but this time she was all over it. She even got smushed when some of the players came by. It was a party and a half and we had a great time. And now I have to shave my mustache...too bad. Go Cougars!!!

Oh and PS I tried to take the most disgusting and creepy picture of myself as possible just so everyone knows.

Rivalry Week and...Moustaches.



So finally the big game that we have all been waiting for is here. For those of you that don't know, I currently write for BYU's newspaper, covering the football team. A perfect job for the Cougarfanatic that I am. This week is the Utah game. With both teams having identical records, and nothing to play for other than bragging rights, this game always brings the most hype of the year. Needless to say we are excited. Even Jane, the up and coming Cougar fan is gearing up for the big weekend. She even made Cougar cupcakes this week (although my original suggestion was simply cake, which I prefer...) My stories are always on BYU's newspaper website, byunewsnet.com and occasionally they get posted on Cougarfan.com We all know my lack of love for Utah, so I am hoping for a good showing this year. A lot of leaders on the team are seniors so we hope they come out fired up and dominate. In other news, November has apparently become Movember...the month where you grow a moustache. I was recently informed of this so I had a delayed start, about a week ago, but it is coming along nicely. Jane is greatly opposed to this idea, but with other friends in on this, I can't back out sheesh. The professor I work for referred to it as a "molestache." Clever. Anywho, it is disgusting, but funny, and I have a goal to keep letting it go until December 1st. Happy Thanksgiving, and Go Cougars.
