Bit of Ivory

So how do you like my attempt at school spirit? Since I’ve now moved
back to Provo (school starts Tuesday), and we just won our first
football game (42-21), and I needed to play around with the colors
anyway, I thought I’d show a bit of loyalty. So there you have it,
folks: a BYU blog. Navy blue, “caramel”, and white. I’m quite pleased
with it, myself.
I got back from the game about an hour ago. We played the University of
Syracuse, and it was awesome. I love football. I won’t say that it was
born in me, but it was definitely bred in me. We’ve had season tickets
to the BYU games for 15 years now (I was 7)–we started out with two,
now we have five (there are six in our family, mom usually stays home).
At first, I admit, I was more interested in the Sno-Cones and hotdogs
than I was in the game, but as I got older I really started to enjoy
it. Now, you might call me a total freak. We have to sign up for
Saturdays at the library, and I pulled up the schedule to make sure I
didn’t sign up for any days with a home game. November was tough, since
there are home games on the 2nd, 9th, and 16th; then on the 23rd is the
annual BYU-University of Utah game–our biggest rival. I can’t miss that.
Luckily, there’s one more Saturday in November (the 30th), I was able
to fill my quota of one Saturday a month. There was one thing at the
game that was extremely funny, though. The name of the Syracuse
quaterback was awfully familiar: R.J. Anderson. As there was more
than one Anderson on the field, they had to say his whole name almost
everytime they refer to him on the radio; and as he’s the quarteback,
he got referred to a lot. I giggled everytime they said the name.
So, Rebecca, are you really a big African-American guy?
