Pictures from the Previous "Perfection Parade" Post

Here's the pictures I promised from my previous post. As for the "Meet and Greet", my mom and I came, waited in the mile-long line for about an hour & 1/2, only to find that pretty much no "good" players were there. No Kyle Whittingham, Brian Johnson, Louie Sakoda, Freddie Brown, Stevenson Sylvester, Darrell Mack, Brent Casteel, and probably more. Maybe it was just the time that we came, but I'm still fairly disappointed. Anyway, here are the pictures I took at the parade. They kinda suck, and are pretty blurry, but at least it will give you some idea of the mayhem I 'conquered' in order to be in front. I high-fived any player I could reach, and most of them probably think I'm a freak...





The car with (from l - r) Stevenson Sylvester, Kyle Whittingham, and Brian Johnson.




A jeep with a bunch of players; Robert Johnson is #17 on the left.




The car with Morgan Scalley and his family.




More players on the sweeeet jeep; Louie Sakoda's on the far right.




Matt Asiata working the crowd. That one's for you, Kate. :)





MY PERSONAL FAVORITE: So it has really horrible picture quality, but Freddie Brown is officially who I am obsessed with. He looked right at me and my parents. That's right, me. Ask my mom how much I freaked out when I first saw him.



p.s.(Who bet on the Arizona Cardinals playing in the Super Bowl??)

Another U Update. Go figure.




So I'm pretty sure it's official now... I have University of Utah football coursing through my veins. I know it sounds dumb, but one of the biggest 'regrets' in my life is that I wasn't born a guy so I could play football at the U. It kills me every time I watch a game, U of U or not. Even writing this is painstaking.

My parents and I went to the "Perfection Parade" today, and it was so cool! It sounds pretty cheesy, but I love-love-loved it! We (by the relentless force I used to get through the crowds) were in the front row, which by the time everyone had moved beyond the barricades, was close enough to be run over by the cars carrying the coaches and administrators. We high-fived players, cheered, whooped, and hollered, got in the faces of un-neighborly fans, and I had a fantastic time.

We took some pictures, but my mom and I are going to the "meet and greet" tomorrow for photo ops with the team, so I figured I'll just add all of them in on the same post.


I CAN'T WAIT to be an "official" Ute.

Sugar Rush... Sugar High... You name it, I'm on it.

WOW.

OF COURSE I had to post on the game; it's just about the biggest highlight in my life since I discovered there was such a thing as sliced bread. The Sugar Bowl was insane!! So so crazy! Holy cow, what a way to end the season, not only for the leaving seniors, but also for the whole team in general. I was incredibly stoked for the game, and the 3+ hours I spent yelling and cheering at the t.v. during it made me a little lightheaded and hoarse at times. But, well worth it. I'm so jealous that I wasn't there.

Sorry to all the BYU fans if I wear a lot of Utah clothes this week and maybe next... I'm pretty proud/prideful.


p.s.(I texted into a radio station when they were talking about the game, and the dj read my comment, and discussed it with other listeners! That's right, I'm pretty much famous.)
