Another Fun Season Begins

It's another University Of Utah Football Season, and we added one more seat to our season tickets!


As is tradition, we start at Arby's for our Pre-Game meal before riding Trax up to the stadium.


I even talked Dylan into going to the game, but he pretty much decided he wouldn't have fun before we left the house, so he managed to get the experience he was looking for. Still it was nice to have both boys to a game.

So It Begins!

This year Dad and Rylan got UofU Football Season tickets!

So we headed to SLC, took TRAX to Rice-Eccles Stadium to see the season opener against Utah State.

I asked someone behind me to take a picture before we left, and I didn't get any warning, needless to say, I am NOT Stoned, no matter what it looks like!

The game was fun, but even more importantly, spending time with my Ry Guy was PRICELESS.

This will be Rylan and Dad time for the season.

Vandalized Again!

Last Year on the day of the BYU / UTAH game, some silly BYU fans vandalized the front of my house with balloons and crepe paper. You can revisit the vandalism here.

This year some damn BYU fan put this crap on my front lawn!Now I will give them some credit, it's a very neat paint job. It seems that they used rollers and latex paint for their method of desecration.

So, Rylan and I did the best we can to turn this abomination into something more positive.



2 Cans of Red Spray Paint Later, we turned it into a "Don't" sign instead!


We then donned our favorite attire and got ready for the rest of the day!



Later we hosted our annual Holy War party, a bunch of guys eating junk food and drinking carbonated beverages.

Thanks to Troy, Tyler, Ben, Wes, Trevor, Jonathan, Isaiah, Brennan, Joe and Trevan for coming and hanging out.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention the final score....

UTAH 48 - BYU 24
LET THE GLOATING BEGIN!!!!!

Ry's Big Day

Today was a big day for the Ry-Guy!

It started off by getting his splint off and a cast put on his broken arm. He thought it was "weird" when the splint came off, he just kept touching the spot where it was broken.

The best part was when Scott (The guy putting the cast on Ry's arm) tried making a "U" out of white cast material to put on the cast.Sadly, the "U" stuck for a short while, but the red part of the cast had dried too much and the white part didn't have the adhesiveness required to stay on. We attempted to glue, but the porous nature of the fiberglass made that not work.

One of the reasons that Ry wanted to have the "U" on there was because we had tickets to the big UofU vs. Oregon State football game tonight.

Rylan was sooo excited to be going to his first Utes football game. (I was pretty excited to take him, I'll admit it!)

We got there early by parking downtown and taking TRAX to the stadium. I don't know how I ever tried to deal with parking back in the day, the TRAX is Soooo much easier.

I thought because we were on the 40th row of the north end-zone that the view would suck, but as you can tell by the picture of Ry and I before the game, goal posts aren't that far down.

One of the "small world" parts of this night was when I hear this guy being a bit goofy behind us, as I turned around, 3 rows back was Uncle Tim.


As far as the game itself.... WOW! What A Fantastic Game. A Sellout Crowd of 45,599, the 3rd larges crowd in history. It was just fun to watch Rylan get all excited and listen to him cheering for his favorite team!


The game was great, one of, if not THE best football game I've ever attended, but even better than that was being able to spend time with my little man. Father-Son night is just the BEST!
