Tis the season... for birthdays! We have one birthday October 3rd, two birthdays October 30th, one November 5th and 22nd, Zach's birthday November 28th, my birthday December 14th, another on the 19th of December and one January 4th. Not to mention holidays like, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's. Don't get me wrong, I love this season, but it gets a little exhausting! Obviously we have other family member's birthdays, but these 9 happen to be one right after another. This past weekend we had the pleasure of celebrating Zach's birthday! Unfortunately, it was a Sunday birthday which makes for an uneventful day, plus hitting the ripe age of 24 for Zach was equivalent to some people hitting the age of 50. Luckily, we were able to enjoy all the events this weekend brought. We went to a few movies and out for dinner, he had his first Richfield experience (that's where my mother is from) and of course, the pinnacle of the weekend...the game!
I like to consider myself just another "classless" Ute, but isn't that already implied simply by saying I'm a Utah fan. Anyway, let's chat about that game shall we... One thing is for sure, Saturday's rivalry game lived up to the usual hype. But I must admit neither team had their best performance. I should probably address what every Cougar fan will be talking about for the next year: "the turnover" and I fully agree, after the replays I watched, his knee was down. But I'd like everyone (Cougar) to take a lesson from a truly classy coach from Boise State: "One play can win a game, but one play cannot lose a game," BSU Coach Chris Petersen said. "We had a chance to win. When you play two evenly matched teams, it usually comes down to a few plays." BYU had the chance to win with that field goal, but it was blocked and Utah won. It's about time Utah wins on a last second play! Go Utes!!!
