Larry, Roxy and Kristina at the peak of excitement on Friday when USU defeated BYU at home!
There is something glorious about standing over the stadium while thousands rush the field. Like a surfer riding a giant wave, (though I've never surfed and giant waves usually crash me into the bottom of the ocean, but that's another story...) It was a repaying for so many other times when the outcome was not so euphoric. It is amazing how one win can so easily blur 17 years of misery. How long ago… Daniel would have been a new born, Christopher 3 years old. There was a family dear to us who are die hard byu fans. The first phrases they taught there baby boy, "Go BYU". They though it was so cute. Well, I added a phrase to this... "In the toilet". Imagine their surprise when their baby byu fan so proudly pronounced "Go BYU in the toilet". It's amazing they still love us. I sat with his older brother at this game. He drove up from Provo. He is now a graduate of BYU and pursuing a masters in business. He said to me, "Remember the last time the aggies one? I was in sixth grade and sitting right up there under the press box." I was able to share with him what the aggies have taught me (as spoken by my mother) "It's easy to be a fan when your team is wining. But a true fan will be loyal even when you are losing."
Go aggies!

So you didn't join them on the field?? We wished sooo badly that we were there.
