BYU Blues :(

Yes, we lost the MWC Championship game. I witnessed the carnage firsthand. Jer and I were so stoked to go together, but sadly, our babysitting situation didn't work out so I went solo (so typical for us -- we've had a mere two times in the last three years when we've been out without the kids). I just couldn't stand the thought of watching the game on TV while the actual game was being played a mere 15 minutes away. I braved the sea of Rebel Red so I could cheer on my Cougs. Anyway, we may have lost the game, but here are some BYU highlights:

1. Overall, BYU had the best-looking crowd. :)

2. The Cougarettes were skilled, talented, and wholesome during their half-time performance (national dance champions). The Rebel Girls, however, were doing moves I refuse to describe on a family blog. Maybe I'm glad Jer wasn't there after all.

3. A BYU fan won $66,000 in a free-throw contest. So impressed!

4. The BYU fans I sat with were spirited and civil. The Rebel fans seated three rows behind me were crass and profane. Granted, I'm sure some BYU fans sunk to that level, but I witnessed good behavior in my section.

Okay, my Rebel friends -- I had to spin this experience somewhat positively because I'm bummed about the loss. You won fair and square, although you were on your home court . . . . :)
