Griff and Unkie Sean fishing!

Sean and Stacy were nice enough to watch Griff while I went to the football game (see below :-D ) and Sean took Griff Fishing down on the Provo river. Sean has gotten into fly fishing and he lent Griff a regular pole. They didn't catch anything, and the excuses from Griff have included: "All the fish were in the deep end," "Sean didn't know what he was doing," "And the fish just weren't hungry." Yeah, he's a pretty funny kid.

Here are some pics Sean took and sent to me:

Utes take out the Beavers!

I went to the Utes game on Thursday 10/02 and it was EASILY in the top 3 or 4 sporting events I've attended in real life (D-Backs World Series win over the Yankees, Sun Devils win over #1 Nebraska, Utes Fiesta Bowl win over Pitt to be the first team to break the BCS and this - so top 4)

Utah about to score to go up 13-9 in the first half

My friend Rich Kent was out from Virginia and he's a huge Ute fan, like myself, so he was a worthy recipient of my other ticket. He and I were college roommates for a while at the U. We had known each other from Mtn View where were the only guys in Basketball class that weren't on the basketball team (yeah both of us should have been and we got screwed, so the coach let us in the class to "make up for it" whatever, my year they went 2-17 LOL). Anyway, I digress.

Rich, in his "Where's Waldo" Utah shirt and me in a tall hat! Jeez!

This game was all Utah in the first half for the most part, other than giving up a late touchdown. The second half was a different story and saw the Beav's go up by 8 with only 2:11 to go. All the "fans" that left missed the greatest 2:11 I've ever seen in sports, quite possibly. The Utes ran a pefect set of downs AND got the 2-point conversion to tie the game with 1:29 to go. The Beav's then proceeded to play for OT I guess cuz they gave the ball back to the UTES!!! With Louie Sakoda??? One of the, if not THE, best kickers in the NCAA right now???? CRAZY! We thought the Utes would get him a few yards and let him try a super long kick, but they actually pulled the trigger on a play down the field and IT WORKED!!!! They Utes were on the 20, and Sakoda (to the deafening chants of LOUIE, LOUIE, LOUIE!!!) buried the 37-yard FG to WIN the game, the place was crazy - as loud as any stadium I've been in and we all ran out onto the field, it was a blast!

Out on the field after the HUGE win!

What a great game, good to see you Rich, glad you could catch a great game!!!!!
