so worth it

This is Phil. Volume one for this post. On Friday I cashed in the frequesnt flier miles and flew to my Bro-in-laws in OKC where we (and his bro chad and our father-in-law mark) drove a few hours down to Dallas to watch BYU(20) vs Oklahoma(3). The game was in the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium. We met Ty Detmer (again) and Brian Keele as we went in for the game.





What a place. I used to think that if I wanted to experience the atmosphere/environment of a football game then I should go to the game, and if I wanted to see the best view of the game, then i should stay home and watch it on TV. Not anymore, at that stadium we got atmosphere and view with the 60 yd wide by 24 yd tall score board / replay screen.




Anxiety and nerves were killing us, and it wasn't long before I realized my voice was not in shape for football season. BYU fans only filled about 25% of the sold out game, so we had to yell loud to make up the difference.

The place went crazy when Hall hit Jacobson in the end zone for 6. OU then missed a long field goal and that was it. What a finish! BYU was victorious, and the upset was complete. We were exhausted but could not have been any happier.



Today the new rankings came out and BYU went from #20 to #9. This is great but not. Being ranked #9 is a lot of pressure, and will put a huge target on their backs. Hope they learned their lesson last year. This week at Tulane, next at Home vs a fast Florida st. Since I'm sure all you moms care.

Bob

Bruin and I were bored and decided to go check out the Bob the Builder Exhibit at the Fresno Metropolitan Museum. It was a bit crazy in there with all the kids and I had to keep a vigilant eye on him, but we had fun. I invited along some friends but it was hard to chat while keeping track of the kiddos. They had all sorts of things for the kids to do and we couldn't get to them all. There were fake tool sheds with projects, tractors to climb on, fake flowers you could plant, puzzles, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Yay for the Met!
