football season

football season was bittersweet. i was so involved this year and it was so much fun. yesterday was the last game (rivalry week vs colorado) and it was hard not to be so sad that it was my last game ever in the muss as a student. i have loved my time being in the greatest student section in the country.

i got to run the flag for the muss on the field. it was a little embarrassing but what a great experience. heat, sleet, snow, rain, wind and everything in between, i have been in those stand supporting the greatest team in the country. thank you utah athletics for the best year of my life.

get up 4 game day

sometimes, really cool things happen in my life and i could not be more grateful. game day came to utah and it was so much fun to be apart of it. it has been such a fun football season so far, and i love my utes more than ever.

i had friends who camped out for game day 2 nights in advanced. that is three days of sitting outside waiting for this epic event. i was somehow chosen to compete in the cheez it fan of the week competition. it was pretty lame, but i did get to meet sam ponder and was on national television.

after that ordeal, i got to watch game day backstage in their vip area. it was awesome being able to see them from the front and afterward we got to meet them. what a fantastic morning.

the funniest story of the day was when john stockton was there as the celebrity of the week and he walked by us. he was sort of just standing there and i wanted a picture. i had no idea he usually didn't take pictures with people or autograph things either but i just sort of yelled to him "hey, john" (because apparently i am on a first name basis with him, and he looked over and i asked to take a picture with him. it was pretty hilarious.
