CONSOLED BY COLDPLAY

Saturday was a day of highs and lows. After the BYU loss we needed something to lift our spirits and the Coldplay concert was just the thing to do it. Coldplay is awesome .... the concert was awesome. I had a great time. It was so worth it! I am so glad we were able to go. I've been a huge fan of Coldplay since I first heard them. And I've seen them perform several times so I knew they could put on a great show. WOW! I love concerts! I think they're so overpriced, but the energy level of the crowd - the excitement of a live performance. Those things are so hard to put a price tag on.
For those of you with your sound turned on. For your listening enjoyment .....

The Season is Over

Well, the 2008 college football season is over for BYU. It was a bittersweet year. We still finished in the top 25 and that is definitely worth something. We killed UCLA and that was very exciting! But we had two crucial losses. It's one thing to play hard, execute well, and lose to a better team. It's another thing to beat yourself. (Hold on, Ute fans! I'm not saying that Utah or TCU are not great teams, because they were. I'm just saying that I'd like to see how it would have turned out if we'd brought our A game.)
I learned this year what it is to be an emotional fan. I have gotten into football like never before. Felt the passion and excitement for the game like never before. And for the fist time felt truly disappointed and defeated from the losses.
I still haven't decided if being a passionate fan is a positive thing or not. But I guess I have like 10 months to contemplate, right?
