Utah-Oregon

Friday night Jackie dropped me off at the airport and I headed to Portland to go to the game and see Brian and Abby. After they picked me up we headed to Burgerville and had a good hamburger. Saturday morning we got up and started the preparations for the game. We went and picked up some of Brian and Abby's friends to tailgate with us.
Angela made us tacos with Carne Asada. Her salsa's were amazing and Abby's brownie bites were yummy. We had a good time tailgating in the rain and then headed to the game.I always enjoy seeing a new stadium and this is what we saw as we walked in. We sat on the front row in one of the end zones. Most of the touchdowns happened right in front of us. This picture below of Brian and Abby kind of show how close we were. After the game we re watched a little of it and you could see us or at least our red in any camera shot of the end zone. We weren't sitting in the Utah section so there was 3 Utes surrounded by a sea of yellow so we were easy to pick out.

Everyone around us was pretty nice. We did get a dumb comment here and there, but that was to be expected. It rained for probably 3/4 of the game, but I guess in Oregon can you expect anything different. It actually wasn't that bad.

The game of course didn't turn out how we wanted it to, but the Utes battled back and made a game of it. The stadium was so loud and it had to be tough to call plays on the field. The Utes had their chances to win but didn't make the plays and that is one reason it stinks they didn't win. They had plenty of chances to take the lead.

It was a great experience to visit that stadium and hang out with Brian and Abby. We spent Sunday just hanging out at their house and talking. It was a lot of fun to spend time with them.

Here is a view of the Ute section. I think we represented really well.

Once again our seats were amazing and it was fun being that close to the action.

Another view of the stadium.

If you are all wondering where Jackie was, well she went down to St George with Sara, Sarah, and Natalie on Saturday morning. They spent Saturday shopping and then went to Tuachan and saw Aida. I guess the rain stopped by them as well and they had to stop the play twice because of the rain. They got soaked, but they were able to see the whole play. I had the camera so no pictures of their trip. She had a really good time and enjoyed their girls weekend without football.
