We decided to buy BYU football season tickets this year and we got Danny & Katie Cox to buy some too. On saturday, it was the first game and we where all really excited to be going. They where playing Northern Iowa. It was to be a cupcake game for the Cougars. It started off as such too. We got to the game late and parking was horrible but we did finally find a spot. Our seats are total nose bleed seats, we are just below the huge jumbo screen on the south endzone and its high up. But not too bad of seats for football. Better then watching it on the television and listening to the commintators for the MTN station. We had a lot of fun. We got drinks, Danny and Katie bought a Cougar Tail (a huge maple bar doughnut) and we just enjoyed the game. Like I was saying the cougars looked good for the first half. In the second half they totally let NIU back into the game. The Cougs just relaxed a little too much and that is never good. They need to put those kind of games away. It should have ended 45-3 rather then 41-17. It was too close for comfort at the end of the 3rd quarter. At least with this game, they saw what they have to fix and prepare for. I mean with UCLA and Washington the next two games they need to get those kinks out and fast. It was a good game and fun to just watch. I am just excited for BYU football and any football for that matter. Its been a long off season. But its back and I am excited.

So I do feel bad for the Northern Iowa quarterback, man he got hit a couple of times that left him on his back. I know at least one time he was out cold. He just got closed lined! But he got back up and played some more. Good for him to keep getting up after big hits. Max Hall had one good shot which he popped back up but you could tell as we walked down field he was still not sure of where he was. It was a good opener and I hope the Cougars can continue to move up the polls and crack the BCS. Go Cougs!!!!
