BYU Cougars #9

That's right.  This entry is all about celebrating, bragging, gloating or whatever you want to call it!  Before you even ask--yes, it was a glorious event.  Just being in the brand new and one-of-a-kind Cowboys Stadium was an experience all in itself.  But match that with an incredible and exciting display of the beloved game of football by our very own BYU Cougars and well, it was an athletic fusion that literally moved me to tears!  Never in my life did I think I would cry over football.
The new Cowboys Stadium is absolutely incredible.  Our seats afforded us a great "overhead" view of the field, and a beautiful look at the biggest TV in the world.  160 feet long, 72 feet high. Wow.
 
There were LOTS of rows in fornt of us, and only two rows behind us.  If we were back any farther, we might have fallen out of the stadium.  That's okay, though.  We could still see everything just fine. 
As the first half ended with the Cougars only down by three points, we realized there was a chance of something special happening.  We started getting pretty excited and anxious.  
 
Then, when the Cougars put up a ferocious goal line stand, followed by Max Hall's brilliant touchdown drive, we went CRAZY.  The Cougars held on to win, and as the Sooner fans filed out of the stadium, the BYU fans stayed and celebrated one of the BIGGEST WINS IN BYU HISTORY!!
 
In the polls the Cougars are up to #9, but in our hearts they will always be #1!!

Admittedly, I was happy to see BYU win too! That's nothing though compared to UNLV beating Sacramento State 38-3. Look out BYU...Go REBS :)

Provo that night was CRAZY!!! My roommates and I grabbed all of our pots and pans and ran all over Provo making a ruckus and everyone was in the streets yelling and cheering and having random dance parties to car stereos! We heard car horns for hours! It was seriously like the fun-nest night EVER. Go Cougars!!!

How fun that you guys were able to GO to that!??!? I am SO jealous, but I am so glad you guys were there. We were wondering who the cheering section was for BYU at SUCH a big PRO Oklahoma Stadium. That would have been SO cool to see in person. Next time they play OK in OK, we are totally coming to visit you guys!

You lucky ducks! We watched it the game on TV and that was fun but I'm sure it was nothing compared to actually being there. The last game we went to was with you guys in Tulsa. Good times :)
