So...I went to BYU. And I had a great time. Didn't get my tuition reimbursement when I graduated sans the "Mrs." title, but I don't have any hard feelings :) I have to say that during my time there, I went to TWO football games. They were both on first dates. That's it.People can't seem to understand why I'm not into the "rivalry" hype. And to be honest, I LOVE playing football--like flag football--but I just really don't get much joy in watching it! Basketball and soccer are WAY more interesting to me. In football, they just yell "hike," the QB passes the ball to someone close by, usually, that person gets nailed, and then they break apart again...gaining like one yard. Most of the time I can't even SEE what's going on with all of those huge BODIES in the way!!! Gosh! And soccer players (although very wimpy, howling in pain every time they are even NUDGED by their opponent) are a lot hotter to look upon :)
Another reason I don't watch the games is that my husband is kinda...well, not into them. In fact, I'M the one watching the Olympics by myself! Funny story... So, we were in church a few weeks ago, when the speaker, talking about leadership, decided to use a couple of analogies. He said, "For women, lack of leadership is like sheep without a shepheard." And then he said, "And for men...It's like a football team without a quarterback." I promptly turned to Jordan and said, "Honey, what's it like for you??" He said, "It's like a computer without a CPU." WHAT a nerd he is. hahaha.... But such a CUTE nerd!!! Oh, and I looked it up: A "CPU" is a "Central Processing Unit" or what is commonly known as the brain of your computer. It takes the orders, processes them, and then tells all of the other parts to work.OK back to the original story. Are you bored yet? I'm just rambling I guess.... So, I wore a RED shirt today on accident. To work. In hindsight, I should've gone home and changed! There were WAY too many Utes fans in the office. I was just a number--AND people thought I was numbered among THEM. Almost NO representation for my alma matter. Oh well!
One of my friends, Larry, got his cubicle decorated by our coworker (and Utes fan), Ginni. She decorated die-hard-BYU-fan-Larry's cubicle in Ute style, haha... Here are the pictures!

As a football fan it doesn't bother me when others don't care for the game. There was a time when I didn't care for it either. As long as you don't give me a hard time I won't give you a hard time. Can't we all just live in peace, jeez :) Oh and it has to be said GO COUGARS! Lol!
LoL!! Too bad I missed it!! I'm with you chica, football just doesn't do it for me... frankly it puts me to sleep!

Love the pictures of your coworker's cubicle! That is classic! Yeah, I don't get into football until it's the BYU/Utah game, and then it's all RED baby!!
Funny story for you, Carson has decided that he is B.U.Y fan. (they had a food drive at school and you got to choose which team your cans counted towards) His basis for this decision, his favorite color is blue and he likes cougars. He goes around the house chanting B.U.Y, B.U.Y and he even wanted to watch the "game" on TV so he could cheer for his team. Keep in mind that Ryan and I both went to USU and neither one of us have even mentioned the "game" to him. The things they learn.
He also thinks Obahma is our new prophet, I quickly corrected that one.
