a fall football game...

Saturday morning I woke up to a call from my little brother Alex. He had an extra ticket to the Utes football game and was wondering if I wanted to come with him. Did he even really need to ask?! 

It was so much fun to go back to my Alma Mater and driving into Salt Lake City brought back a rush of memories. I drove by the spot where Trevor and I first met! Where he proposed, where we went to school and where we first lived together as husband as wife. Oh Salt Lake City and especially the University of Utah will always hold a special and dear place in my heart.

The trees were yellow, the weather was just brisk enough for a sweater and everyone was buzzing with excitement. If there is one thing the University of Utah knows how to do right, it is football. Swarms of red, tailgate parties, chants and cheers - a total experience!

Alex and I had hit up a tailgate party where Red Robin was providing all the food, and tons of prizes and games were being played. I won a Utes beanie and a flag that I was very excited about :) haha

The game was fun to watch with my brother and his friends, and we dominated - a landslide win of 49 - 6. The adrenaline was high, and it was just a perfect text book afternoon. Thanks Alex for thinking of me and inviting me - LOVE YOU! &Go UTES!

Pigskin...

One thing that is so cool about living in Salt Lake City, is being here when there is a University of Utah Football game going on.

I remember the first time I was here and seeing the sea of red cram onto the trax line and all the traffic of people heading to the stadium.

You got to love college towns.

This weekend Trevor and I had tickets to a coveted game. Two undefeated ranked teams. TCU vs. Utah. We met up with some friends for the game.

I knew that TCU would beat us, but they kind of creamed us.

Oh wellllllllll. I still love my Utes, we still have a good looking season with one loss, and I truly admire TCU and would love to see them go all the way. They are ranked the Number 1 defense and it showed.

About halfway through the game we were wishing we had sold our tickets since they were going for such high prices! BUT we still had fun.
I just love the atmosphere of a jam packed football stadium on a game day :)


Trevor could do his hair more often.... haha.

A White Chocolate covered Red Velvet Cake Pop :) Perfect for Utes Pride!

This is about when we were wishing we had sold our tickets.... HA!

Don't forget to enter the CSN Giveaway! Last chance today until midnight!

Utah Utes Bowl Game.

So as I posted earlier Justin got the whole family tickets to the University of Utah Utes Bowl Game against the Cal Bears. It was SO much fun! We all went out together and had dinner before hand, enjoyed the game.... WHICH WE WON :) We had great seats behind the end zone, enjoyed the fireworks show, and polished off the night with the classic hot dog. Great first night back in San Diego for our Christmas Break!

GO UTES!

The Holy War

Here is a picture of people ready to rush the field before the game was even over! People were even jumping out of the stadium seats onto the field, im sure someone broke something. the cops were trying to stop people but there were way too many people. Waiting in that line was worth it to watch and experience such a crazy game! But to be honest, i wished it had been more exciting, because it wasn't even close, it was a total blow out! UTAH UTES WON!!!! CREAMED is probably a better word. BYU was pretty upset, i had heard about the rivalry before but experiencing it was very different. A fist fight broke out right in front of me! We had great seats too really close to the field it was awesome!


A SEA OD RED! After the streets were full of red and the town again couldn't go to sleep, Winning this game was huge for two reasons, we beat BYU our biggest rivals also known as "The Holy War" and it meant we were still undefeated and would be going to the BCS Bowl!!! EXCITING times here in Salt Lake City.


Trevor missed the "turn around and smile memo" haha.

Camping out for the coveted game

So right after the TCU game me and Trevor felt spontaneous and decided to camp out in line for the coveted BYU vs. Utah game. When i say coveted, boy do I mean it. People were selling tickets for this game online for thousands of dollars. Because the game is at the Utah home field this year if you are a student you can wait in line and get two tickets for free! SCORE! I have always wanted to go to one of these games and i knew that this was my opportunity!


We were about the 5th tent from the beginning of the line, we were so lucky there ended up being hundreds of tents wrapping all around campus!!!


People got very creative for spending their time! haha we had alot of fun with all the people we met around us, but boy was it loooooong. I spent two nights and three days out there on the street and never left!


The Head Coach of the Utes team Kyle Whittingham along with some starting players from the team came with Pizza's to thank us for our support! I snagged a picture since i was one of the first in front of the line :)


FINALLY! we got our tickets! (i look horrible i know, no make up or shower for three days!) It was worth it though!!

TCU Game with Beta Girls

So tonight i went to my first ever Utah Football Game, and boy was it insane! I went with some girls from my sorority and we had a lot of fun. In the last two minutes the Utes beat the game, people had already started leaving and the game totally turned around it was one of THE most insane games i have ever been too! The streets were full of red and black and there was a huge after party and the whole town was awake celebrating!! Winning this game was a big deal to send us to the BCS Bowl.
Right after the game everyone started to rush the field and you can see here just the start, but the whole field was covered and it took forever to get out of there!

Me and Jessica Court having some hot chocolate in the freezing Utah weather!
Me and Elyse staying warm in our mittens, also getting nervous since the game was so close.
