You Might Be a BYU Football Fanatic If...



You Might Be a BYU Football Fanatic If...
(NOTE: Turn up the sound on your computer!)

Your favorite colors are blue and white.
You consider the word UTE an obscenity.
You wake your children up each morning by singing "Rise and Shout".
You hear the word "bronco" and immediately think of Coach Bronco Mendenhall.
You have more BYU paraphernalia than the BYU Bookstore.
You actually like "the power of the Wasatch", the BYU Cougar Marching Band.
You outlaw the color red in your wardrobe and home.
You've been caught singing "we're gonna beat the HECK out of you".
You know where each BYU player has served his mission.
You have the BYU football games marked on your calendar, but not your spouses' or childrens' birthdays.
You fervently pray for the Cougars before each game (as if the other team's fans aren't praying for their players).
You know the names of the starting players, as well as the names of their respective spouses, children & whether or not they earned their Eagle Scout award.
You wouldn't dream of missing the Blue and White game.
You plan your vacations around the football schedule (hoping to coordinate a vacation when the Cougars are playing at any given destination).
You've ever thrown tortillas in the stadium.
You think the BSC is blue/white color blind.
You've already bought tickets to the Fiesta Bowl thinking this "might be the year" (love you Dad)
You can name the starting players of the 1984 National championship team
You know the story behind the 1980 "Miracle Bowl"
You frequent sites like www.cougarfan.com or www.cougarboard.com
You get to the tailgate parties 4 hours prior to kick-off.
You create a blog post about the BYU Cougars.
You think the celebration penalty in the BYU-UW game was totally 100% correct.

Here are some pictures from last weekends' amazing Cougar victory over the Huskies 28-27. If you can't tell, we are huge BYU football fanatics at our house! Go Cougars!

I so graduated from BYU, but never really got into the athletics. I think being the only girl with four jock brothers took all the love for sports right from me. If the star on the field didn't have the last name "Hamm", it just didn't interest me. There were a few exceptions. I liked watching the cheerleaders when one of them was my roommate and I liked watching the football players when one was engaged to my other roommate. I think it takes that personal connection. I love the pics you took! You are definitely a fan, and that must have been one seriously gratifying game!

You might be a BYU football fanatic if you are down with the little kids waiting for the players to give you a high five as they pass. Yes, just like the picture you took, I was down there doing the same! I still can't get over that game! We can't wait for the game tomorrow. Wish you guys were here for it!
