After two weeks of watching our football team play on TV, wishing we were in a real stadium and being a part of the amazing atmosphere, we were so ready for a home game in good ol' Lavell Edwards Stadium.
Plus it was rivalry week! If you're not from Utah, I don't think you understand the magnitude of the rivalry between BYU and the University of Utah. Some people eat, sleep, breath, and would even die for their preferred team. It gets so extreme that the statues on campus are saran wrapped to prevent them from getting damaged, everyone is wearing blue (with a few rebel exceptions of people wearing red) and the night before the game people were egged on the streets. It's so crazy!
I thought that BYU had a pretty good chance of winning. In fact, I was quite confident that they were gonna pull it off. Football games are so much different when you're actually a student at the school. You feel so much more heart and passion for your team and you just feel like a part of the tradition.

But, to our dismay, we got slaughtered. Like it wasn't even close. It was torture to watch what unfolded that night. Ever since the teams first played each other, each year the game has been within a touchdown or less. Until now...I can't even describe how horrible it was! It was even worse to have it rubbed in your face by the Utah fans that go to BYU. What a depressing night!
