utah 59, colorado state 6

By the grace of a really fast response to a company-wide email, I managed to score tickets to Saturday's football game at the U vs. Colorado State.  Of course, the forecast was 90% chance of showers and thundershowers with temperatures in the low to mid 50s.  Does that deter us?  No, it does not.  Quoth H: "There's no such thing as bad weather - only bad clothing decisions."

So. clad in boots and wool socks, polypro and fleece, parkas and ponchos* and hats, off we went.  We had great seats: actual chairs with backs, about 50 rows up at the 35th yard line.  It was pouring for the first half, causing some slipping and fumbling out on the field.  But it stopped raining for the whole second half, with a gorgeous double rainbow arching over the university campus to the east.  And the Utes carried their momentum to their twenty-first home win in a row, crushing poor Colorado State in the end. 

I may be a new fan, but I'm a dedicated one

* H had to make a special run to Wal-Mart to get ponchos, which were an unfortunate shade of BYU blue.  Once at the stadium, however, we noticed a lot of those same ponchos in the sea of Utah red, so plenty of other fans were in the same need-for-waterproofing situation we were.
