BYU Football

Yesterday was the first BYU Football game this semester. I forgot how much I love those games!

 

Reasons why I love BYU Football Games:

1. The overall excitement in all the fans before the game.
2. Everyone wearing BYU shirts and colors (and that BYU has super good colors, navy and white is so much better than green and gold or purple and gold…)
3. We say a prayer before the game.
4. Everyone sings the National Anthem.
5. Our cannon has a name, and everyone knows what it is.
6. Our mascot is always clearly one of the few black guys on campus, because he is always doing stunts and break dances that few white guys could keep up with.
7. The commercials and ads on the big screen are so clearly directed to the Mormon audience.
8. The Darth Vader cheer.
9. The Lord of the Rings cheer.
10. That song they always play right before the game or after halftime or if they think we don’t have enough enthusiasm. The “Go Cougars” one.
11. The specific bleacher “B! Y! U!” Cougars! cheer.
12. There’s always one guy in the seating group who always knows exactly what’s going on so gets asked a million questions during the game.
13. The army people who do push-ups every time we score.
14. The fact that the Cougarette’s do it too, but no one really cares.
15. The scenery! You can’t get much better than the mountains right next to the stadium and a great sunset during the game!

And lots more reasons. Two things I wish were better? 1. That you could actually hear the band during halftime. 2. That the key of the fight song was slightly more singable. 

Anyway, it was a really fun game, and I’m even happier that we won! And I'm even happier that we beat UW! Again!
