Blue vs Red Showdown


The lines have been drawn for the whole football season. This year the line was drawn between houses and not as a circle around one neighbor. Our friends and neighbors Randy and Viv are moving, so as a final neighbor hurrah we invited them over to watch the biggest game of the season, the BYU vs U of U game. As you can see the line was still drawn in our house. The red fans seemed to stay on one side of the room and the blue fans on the other.

The red fans did have to cross into our territory when they wanted food. Brylie and Britton did set a good example and forgot the intense rivalry of the two sides and played nicely together.

Luckily there weren't too many questionable calls or plays so we were all able to keep things pretty low key. Viv did try to get Brylie to go to the dark side of Utah, but Brylie knew where she belonged (as was shown later when we were at the mall and she kept chanting "Utah stinks").
The excitement was great, especially in the last few minutes, so some took naps. Probably not the ones who really needed them. but we'll take what we can.

In the end BYU won 17 to Utah 10. Our Utah fan visitors accepted the loss graciously and our friendship is in tact.

It was a great way to watch the game and a very fun thing to do with our friends. Just one last thing....


GO COUGARS!!!
