GO COUGARS!!

Did you hear? Did you watch it? The 20th ranked Brigham Young University Cougars BEAT the 3rd ranked Oklahoma Sooners at Dallas Cowboys Stadium tonight and it felt SO good!

Kelly has been going to BYU football games with his parents his whole life. He has continued the tradition with our kids. I found this picture of Kate and Kelly after a victory during Kate's first year of life- marked by her first year of BYU football.

{circa fall 1997, the same flag was hung again today on our front door}

Three generations love this team and love this game. We are proud to bleed BLUE!!

Congratulations Cougars on a well earned and very exciting win tonight!

Traditions like that are so great. (We aren't sports fans and don't go to games, but I can totally get behind tradition.) So fun to see the old photos! The kids will love that they got to carry it on.

Thanks so much for your help today. You guys really gave me a morale boost, and I can't even tell you how excited everyone is to learn Gloom! You're so good to me.

I'm not a football fan or much of a general sports fan, but I think its great and so fun that your family is so passionate about BYU and have such a history with it.
