Black-Out!

It's the biggest game of the year and Jono is in Seattle on business; his only business trip in four years, by the way.  So look who got to go to the game...  Bud!  The Utes took on the TCU Horned Frogs in a Black-Out game.  Bud has been looking forward to this night for a long time.

We drove to the game with Jonny and his friends and Bud wowed them with his football player knowledge.  On the 4th floor, I had pre-game enchiladas and Bud enjoyed his hotdog.  He says that the Scholarship Box has the best hotdogs ever, an honor I'm sure they are proud of.  He left me eating my chips and salsa to watch the team warm up.  After the game started I chatted with Bud and he said, "Talk to me during half-time."

It was awesome to watch the stadium fill up with black.  The Utes looked strong and powerful in black, but they had their share of ups and downs.  Regardless, the second largest crowd in stadium history was on it's feet cheering the last two minutes and the Utes came out ahead! Bud watched in awe as the crowd jumped onto the field and it was a sea of black celebration.  It was a great night and I'm glad to have shared it with Bud.

This is the number 1 fan saying, "I'll be back to watch the Utah-BYU game!"  (Doesn't he have the nicest mom.)  Jono promised to take him on the field after a Utah victory and a 12-0 season.  GO UTES!

PS. Can you believe that when I met Jono I didn't know the difference between offense and defense.  I've come a long way, baby.
