Pictures are kind of random, but they were the only two on my comp that fit with the post...
My cute nephew Colton, is a huge Jazz fan... GO JAZZ!
My mother and I are huge Reno Mahe fans and got out picture with him at the airport this football season... GO BYU!
Why do sports make people so darn crazy? Brady and I went to the Jazz game last night (which is nice since most Utahns are Jazz fans, I never feel contention with others) Well it was a good game with great seats (Thanks mom and dad, new season ticket holders) and they won! On the way to the car there were two guys screaming at the tops of their lungs crazy stuff about the win. They were really excited. Brady turns to me and whispers (now that kids is why you don't do crack) judgmental of both of us I know, but it was funny and obvious they weren't all the way there. Well then they start yelling about the Utes (surprise surprise they were Ute fans...) Dozens of people were stuck at a light waiting to cross when they kept yelling GO UTAH and making the u with their hands...well me being the level headed BYU fan (YEAH RIGHT!) yelled GO TCU!!! Okay I know it was not appropriate especially while wearing BYU gear because it poorly represents the school and team. Brady stepped away and acted like he didn't know me, mainly because he was embarrassed and partly scared of a fight. When Brady got the nerve up to stand by me again he said "This is how you feel when we go to a game together or I play sports huh?" (My husband is also a crazy sports fan and participant) I was so proud of my husband for being smart enough to realize how I feel when I watch him bicker with refs, opponents, or opposing fans...So then I come back to the question...Why do sports make people so darn crazy??? (including myself) I guess fans aren't supposed to be objective right?
SO GO BYU AND TCU FOR ONE NIGHT! (Sorry I can't help myself)
P.S. Jami and John while I write this post which poorly reflects ute fans, you two are the only ones I like so I don't lump your family in the out of control ute fan group... should I be lumped with the out of control cougar fans???

Well, Laurel, TCU didn't come through! So I know I am one of the crazy sports fans too. Too much emotion and no logic at all. Glad you had fun at the Jazz game. Sounds like Brady had a revelation with that experience on the corner. Now all that is left to say is "GO BYU! BEAT THE UTES!"
TCU let us down....we can only pray BYU beat Utah! Glad you had fun at the Jazz game. Way to stand up for your team!!!
You guys are the funniest BYU fans I have ever seen! I was lauging last night when you had your hands over your face when you were listening to the game! You are so intense! That is so funny that you said "Go TCU!" Good job on that one! I'm glad Brady finally understands your pain at his games. Go BYU!
i am glad that brady has someone who he can share his love of sports with. poor jared doesn't have that in his life. it is fun to read your blog.
Hey Laurel I live with a crazy BYU fan every day and you know that better than me. He flipped out after the Utah TCU game. I get that way too with teams I really like. If you like sports at all I think you tend to get those angry feelings once in awhile.
I didn't read this until just now - thanks for excluding John and me from the Ute fan crazies!
