Pretend the Name of this Post is the Sound of the Cougar they Play Over the Loud Speaker at the BYU Home Games

I know nobody wants to talk about them since their big lose last week, but this post is about:

THE BYU FOOTBALL TEAM

Just Kidding, not the actual team, but just about how they came to Austin and played the University of Texas, where Glen attends law school. And, coincidentally (or maybe not) they lost this time too. But it was was only by 1 point. Thank heaven, because we probably would have gotten a lot more crap walking out of the HUGE stadium that night. Seriously though, that stadium was massive. Before we went inside I was expecting something like BYU's stadium, but this was something else. After some research, I found that the UT stadium seats 40,000 more people than BYU's stadium, with a capacity of 100,000 or so. 100,000! That's crazy to me.

Anyway, Glen's friend/old roomate/mission buddy/groomsman, Ryan Dalquist, came out for the game and of course we had to take him to some of the best food around. Yikes, I'm really getting embarrassed about how much food I post about. Oh well, I still have some weight to get rid of but THE FOOD WAS WORTH IT. Or I keep telling myself that.

ALSO one of my bestest friends ever, Lizzy Peterson Shawcroft, and her husband Russ were also in town with the family she nannys for. They came over for Sunday dinner and we caught up and played a game and just cherished every moment.

It was really, really, cool see SO many BYU fans in Texas! It seriously felt like home, and made me very homesick. But the neatest part was that most of the BYU fans we met weren't even from Utah! They were from all over the country! We met people from Kansas, Washington, Pennsylvania, and lots of other states. I can't wait until we play University of Texas again, but next time it will be in Utah, and will be the perfect excuse to visit. Hopefully BYU will get their act together by then.

Trying to be macho, or something.






There were a lot of out-of-towners. Apparently these ones were driving a little to quick for this bird to get away. He was rammed into the front of their car.. and was stuck there.


This place should look familiar to those of you who follow my blog


Riding the bus to the game!


The stadium, the awesome band who can make cool shapes and letters with their formations, and our waaaay crappy seats. But good thing their big screen was MASSIVE.










Me and Lizzy!

Well, maybe next time Cougs. Maybe next time.
