Utah vs. Air Force Football Game












Matt and I LOVE college football!! It's absolutely one of the things we most look forward to every Fall. Football season is one of our favorite seasons! The rivalries and the excitement are just intoxicating! And can you guess which team we're the biggest fans of? You got it!! The UNIVERSITY OF UTAH UTES!!






Through some connections of his through work, Matt was able to get awesome tickets this year for the Utah vs. Air Force game on October 24, 2009. We really enjoy going to that game for a couple of reasons: It's usually a good game between the 2 teams.....and we LOVE watching the Air Force jets fly over the stadium before the game!!


Here is the Team as they are running out onto the field.......along with the UNIVERSITY OF UTAH Band giving them a welcome onto the field.








Here is the Air Force Team along the sidelines.






We had TONS of fun at the game together! And, yes, the UTES did win! It was a tight game for awhile, but the UTES finally took the win in overtime at 23-16!! GO UTES!!


We were even lucky enough to have a visit from out Beloved Prophet, President Thomas S. Monson. He was honored and given some kind of award. (I don't remember what it was for.)



This is President Monson being escorted off the field. (See? Even President Monson likes the UTES!! LOL)






'The Box' overlooks the field. I've been up there for other things, such as dinner, etc. It's really nice! But, somehow, I just don't think it would be quite the same watching the game up their versus actually being down on the field watching the game!! :)





Some of our awesome players in action!











The end of the game. The 2 teams are walking out to shake hands and greet each other after the game.













Another victory for the UTES!! The final scoreboard!!
!!GO UTES!!
