30 Days of Thanksgiving: Three

Totally thankful for the UTES! Between a husband who LOVES college football and is a huge Utah fan; and me attending a college with NO pigskin team to cheer for, I have adopted them as my own.

Plus, I went to pre-school there when I was 2 1/2; so it's practically my Alma Mater.

At this year's San Jose State Game

Danny and I have some great Ute Football memories. Just one of which being their win over BYU (in 2005 I think?)... he called me from Provo to celebrate even though he couldn't hear a thing. We became an official couple that weekend...it's pretty much been true love ever since.

And then there was the Undefeated Season with the win again 'Bama in the 2008 Sugar Bowl. And now we're 5th in the BCS standings?!?!? Crazy days!

Good luck this weekend verses TCU Boys. We need the football gods smiling on our side.

Go UTES!
