Utah State vs. BYU

I had a lot of fun at the Utah State vs. BYU game on Friday. Here at USU, we know that our football team isn't very great, but people go to the games to show their support (and to keep funding for our really superb basketball team). I usually go to chill with friends.


Here I am with my friends Monica and Erika. We've been friends for about 8 years, and we still hang out. I am so glad to have them.

Me and some friends on the front row! Woot! We are having a crazy good time cheering for the Aggies. Some people thought that they had an excuse to cheer for BYU, but they got a whole lot of crap for that. You totally have to be true to your school (please see the Beach Boys).


Us hanging (literally) out in the front of the stands during the half time show (and the game).


Big Blue is so dang awesome! I think my college goal (besides becoming a True Aggie) is to kiss Big Blue. I should have done it at the game, but everyone was mauling the poor guy.


BYU is white, and we are the TRUE BLUE! I discovered that football is a lot of fun to watch when you are closer to the action. It is also really exciting when there is a huge school rivalry and everyone has been trash talking the rival for the past few weeks.


I have this theory about playing BYU. First of all, they are really good, ranked about 8th in the nation. USU is the 3rd worst team in that division. Many people had resigned themselves to a slaughter, and giving up is not a good thing. I theorized that there was a lot of pride about the Cougars. Pride is bad, and BYU should not have pride. I believed that the humility of the losing Aggies would result in a miracle. And it did!


As the Aggies scored two touchdowns and held BYU for a long time, I could not believe it! We had possession of the ball for most of the fourth quarter, and thanks to some terrible calls, we didn't get about 2 additional touchdowns. Soon, the Aggies, known as the most hostile basketball crowd west of the Mississippi appeared at a football game as a chante of "Overrated! Overrated" was directed at the BYU team. The expected slaughter did not happen!


The game ended, 14 - 34 for BYU, but hey! We are one of the worst teams in the nation and I am so impressed. That is almost the most we have scored in two years. I'm so glad! Way to go Aggies! You rock my socks. And I think that our rivalry t-shirts were hilarious. On the front it said: "Y B U?" and on the back it said: "Win or lose, you still live in Provo, 'nuff said." :) I love Logan and Utah State.
