the holy war








I guess you'd have to be from Utah to fully appreciate this post . . . GO UTES!!!!

An new addition to the post: I just wanted to add a little detail to for my own journaling.
Picture #1:Yes, Joshua's sign is for the Utes...we tried to tell him he shouldn't make the background blue, but oh, well. He found the board in the garage, painted it, hammered nails into it, attached a wire, and was SO proud of himself.
Picture #2 The Johnsons and Dustins...the lone Utes that day. You may have noticed that Tim is missing from the picture. That's because he gets really nervous for some games, especially high-stakes games like this one. He just wanted to watch this one all by himself. Same with John, who left after this pic was taken.
Pictures #3-4: the spread was great, the decorations and favors were fabulous, and everyone had fun cheering for their own team. Obnoxious cowbell included.
Pictures #5, 7, 8: You might think that I'm gloating a little by posting these, so sorry. It was just a FABULOUS and monumental win by the Utes!
Picture #9: This is the only trash-talking I've done the entire year...this is Kimbie, serving up humble cake for the BYU fans! ;)

This made me laugh. My family is divided too.

I dunno. . .looks like Joshua would rather be wearing BYU blue. ;-)

The rivalry is definitely heightened for Utah residents -- as an out-of-state Cougar, I never really got into it. I always found it amusing when Utes managed to vandalize our Y.

Happy Thanksgiving!

i didn't know you were a U of U fan...you always struck me as a BYU one. i guess you learn something new every day.

yeah, CU just had their huge game against Nebraska (our biggest rival)...so I understand the rivalry. i think it's funny that every football team has to have its nemesis.

I love it! My family is ALL Utah to but not my brother in laws, we had 2 parties one upstairs and one downstairs depending who you were cheering for. Needless to say the party in the basement was much more fun!!! GO UTES!!

Totally funny! Way to go UTES!

Yeah for the Utes. We didn't get it out here in Ohio so we were following on the internet. My family are definite BYU fans and it was so fun to rub the victory in.

What a fun party. As a BYU fan I was sad. Oh, well.
