As you may have heard, the Utes beat the Aztecs 63-14 and became 11-0.  We have one final game left this season, next Saturday in Salt Lake City against BYU.  It will be a great game!  We had a good time in San Diego, had some seafood for dinner Friday night and then Brittany and I got up and took some photos of the marina and nearby shopping area.  And I got to catch up with a great friend from Montana State.  We had breakfast and walked around the Gaslamp district while catching up.  We checked out Petco Park home to the San Diego Padres too.  Then it was off to the stadium.  We had to rush to get everything packed up after the game to make sure we could fly out before the noise ordinance was in effect.  We made it and got home around 1:30am.  It was a long day but the team is pumped for this weeks final regular season game.  Hope all is well.

I went to my first rugby game today.  New Zealand Heartland XV played the US select team at Real Salt Lake’s new stadium.  It is a beautiful stadium and it was a lot of fun to watch rugby with Ben.  He tried to explain it to me as I shot some photos for him.  We got all decked out in All Blacks attire and even brought a NZ flag.  The New Zealand team won!  It was so much fun.  The did the Haka at the end of the game which you will see at the end of the photos.  And of course you will see a photo of a guy bleeding, not much of a shock with rugby.  Hope all is well.

Last night we went to the Utah Grizzlies Breast Cancer game.  They dye the ice pink and play in pink jerseys in support of Breast Cancer.  It was a really exciting game, it went into overtime and then a shoot out and the Grizzlies won!  We got to spend time with our great friends which is always a fun time!  Here are the pictures of the pink rink!

The TCU game was a really big game.  TCU beat BYU a couple of weeks ago and were ranked #12 and we were #8 on the BCS poll coming into the game.  It came down to the very end of the game but Brian Johnson remained cool and collected as usual and made a great pass to Freddie Brown for the victory, followed of course by a field goal by Louie Sakoda.  I was nervous the whole time.  The team played in black because it was the “Black Out” game so everyone in the stands and on the sidelines was also in black.  It was really cool.

We had a great trip to New Mexico.  Of course the outcome made it much better.  We won 13-10.  We traveled in the afternoon on Friday and then didn’t play until 7:30pm on Saturday so we had plenty of time to set up and get things ready for the game which was great!  We had a fun dinner on Friday night or very spicy Mexican food.  We didn’t get back from the game until 2am but luckily it was daylight savings time so it turned into 1am.  The Utes are really on a roll!  We moved up in the BCS rankings to #8!!  Hope all is well!
