UTES 30 AIR FORCE 23




This Weekend Richard, Dan and I drove out to Denver to go see the Utes take on The Air Force Academy with Jared, Erin and little Kaitlyn. It was a great game, our Utes came out victorious with a back and forth scoring game that came down to the wire. Colorado Springs was a nice place to visit, the Air Force stadium is smaller but in a cool setting built into the hill side. Before kick off they did a fly by with one of those huge refueling jets followed by another large aircraft about to connect. It was pretty neat to have so many Utah fans out to an away game, our fan section was loud and crazy just as it should be. At the end of the game the players came over to our section and one of them threw one of the game balls into the stands almost right at us but a guy 2 rows down ended up catching it. The players hung out by our section and gave their fans a shout out of appreciation for supporting them on the road. I guess we even made it on TV at the end of the game the camera guy panned in on a fan right in front of us holding a sign that said 4 - 0 we had a few people call us right after saying they can see us on TV in the fan section. It was a great trip I think as long as Jared & Erin live out here we are going to have to make it a standard trip to come see and away game at either Air Force or Colorado State. Ali was supposed to join us in the festivities however she decided to spend some time with her sisters in park city this weekend before Penny gets married.

We had a blast with you guys. It's too bad it was such a short trip. We'll have to do it again.

So I was looking at the West Jordan High School website and saw Ali's comment and I said, Hey I remember her. Then I saw the photo of Ali's husband and said, Hey I remember Elder English from Santa Barbara. Wow how cool is that? It's great to see you guys, and more importantly it's great to see that you are UTE fans!! Send me an email to say hi. bnelson@htk.com (If you don't remember me English I am the one who beat you at darts all the time and made those sweet .... no bake no bake no bakes .. talkin bout no bakes, no bakes)
