UTES WIN THE SUGAR BOWL

To begin with, Ryan and I went skiing on New Year's Day. We got off the lift and saw this sign, and we thought this has to be a sign of things to come. We made sure to ski the Sugar Bowl a few times.
Wow what an awesome game. No one gave the Utes a chance, but they came out and really showed who the better team was. It was so awesome watching the media trying to back track from previous comments about how Utah had no chance blah blah blah. Look who is the only undefeated team left. Go Utes, maybe maybe the Utes will get a share of the National Title.
What makes the game even better is watching the game with Grandpa and my Brother Cory. For those that don't know, Grandpa did the sidelines at the University of Utah football games for over 50 years and I still have an Uncle that does it now. Cory and I would go to all the games as kids. I remember the 34-31 game and many many others. It is so great to spend so much time with my Grandparents, they are the best. Who has Grandparents where your two best friends are totally cool with hanging out there watching the game with them.


Here is Amber, Ryan, and Brian. What a great time.Here is a picture of Ryan and Grandpa. The ball on the left is signed by this years Ute Football team, and the ball on the right is signed by the Ute football team from the 2004 Undefeated season. Grandpa was given this ball at half-time of a game he was honored as a SUPER FAN!!

Alabama scratching their heads, wondering what happened to them.
Even when we got back to the house, my BYU fan Father in law even wanted to break out the Sparkling Cider to celebrate. It's cool to have such a great Father in law.
Lastly,
GO UTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats On the Sugar bowl Now for the truth the final end of season poll will Be #1 Florida/Oklahoma
#2 if Texas Blows out Ohio State And #3 USC they did look like they could beat anyone Utah included and #4 UTAH UTES....just my opinion

Scott must be a BYU fan. Come on AP voters vote Utah #1 they have the resume for it.If only a certain MWC team knew how to win a bowl game the MWC would have had the best conference bowl record.

Happy for the Utes But The truth is They are a #3 or 4 team If there was a playoff last nights game would have meant something unfortunatly The Alabama team went home when Andre smith was sent home because they did not look at all like the team that played Florida

The reason your Father-in-Law is so cool, is because he's a BYU fan. Of course he's happy a Utah team won the Sugar Bowl! It's only Utah fans than will Booooo BYU all the way to the end, whether or not they're competing. Go Utes! Go Big T!
