Wake me up when September ends

I went to the BYU game on Saturday. (Don't ask. I come from a long family line of BYU football fans.) "Game" might not be the correct word. Perhaps "ass-whipping" or "suck-fest" would more accurately reflect what happened to the once-mighty Cougars. It doesn't look good.

I was amused to hear music on the public address speakers at LaVell Edwards Stadium from Van Halen, Led Zepplin, Michael Jackson, and other artists that my seminary teachers said we shouldn't listen to. True, "Jump" by Van Halen isn't bad at all, but on their previous album, weren't they "running with the devil?" Twenty years later, what was once evil becomes innocuous. In the year 2025 will we hear Marilyn Manson at BYU games?

Remember: I was cheering for my favorite team, the guys in the striped shirts.

That's funny. I went to the Utah-Arizona game and I was cursing the same stripe-wearing team. Knowing someone who is an actual ref is kind of weird. I always thought of them as kind of mole people who lived in subterraneans colonies under Antarctica. Apparently they're real people. Who knew? I just might stop using my stripey voodoo doll because of you, Todd. Way to change the world, one Voodoo doll at a time.

The referee (the guy in the white hat) for the U of U / Arizona game is actually a buddy of mine. He's a hell of a good guy and an excellent official.

yea that game was an BAD... I still believe Bronco will be a better coach than Crowton was. But this didn't bode well for a first outing.

Bronco is a much better coach name than Gary. If you play for a guy named Bronco, you almost have to win. Hey, it worked for a guy named Urban...

Oh my god, Drew actually made a post! Is the world coming to an end? Is this a new shift in the reality that we know? Or is Drew just pathetically bored.

I suspect the latter.

Well, I used to cuss out the officals on general principle, but now I don't. Stripey folk are people, too.
