If you know our family- you know the word "brainwashed"! Yes it is true, as children we were all brainwashed to the sounds of "Popcorn Popping", "Rise & Shout", "Ra Ra Ra Ra.. Gooooo Cougars", etc.. yes the list goes on and on! This "brainwashing" I'm talking about is nothing else than ............................. to bleed Cougar BLUE! (I have kindergarten pictures to prove this! Me and my BYU Cougar t-shirt and pigtails!)
Every Christmas we would get keychains that sang the Cougar fight song (something about his sons and daughters! haha - You know you just sang the fight song!!) BYU hair ribbons, t-shirts, pom pom's, and once again the list goes on and on!
However looking back at my childhood I can't help but smile! Every Saturday loading into the car to tailgate. Our tailgating, I think, was much different than most! We didn't have the beer, we didn't have the loud music, 3-4 hours PRE-game, and well we did our tailgating in the LDS church parking lot across the street from the Stadium, hoagies. A typical Mormon tailgate! :)
What can I say.... I love and miss those times! Every Saturday the same Tailgate party in the parking lot!
Well my love for Football hasn't stopped! In fact I HEART Football! Till this day I still bleed Blue!
So here's to Dad and Brothers! Thank you for letting me tag along to all of the games! Whether it be the Provo games or driving to California to watch BYU in the Holiday bowl (only to forget where dad parked the car... walking around forever - in fact the BYU football team came walking out and we were still looking for the car!) hahaha. Thanks for teaching me the ins and outs of the game! I am not stoopid when it comes to football! 
So beyond the memories and history of my love for football... this weekend is the BIG GAME!!! Saturday 4pm!! Her'e's to the game... (we may need all the luck we can get!) I have a few bets riding on this game....

Oh sister...this brings back so many memories! The time when the whole family drove to Cali in dad's white Ranger and we put a piece of wood in the back and used it as a bed. That was the same time one of the boys got pulled over for speeding. Or the time that dad's name was called over the intercom b/c Shane had stolen something from the store. Or the time that dad passed out from the heat...And we cannot forget we all dreaded driving with dad because he blasted the "Cougar After Game Show" on the way home!
me too--my Dad worked at BYU my whole growing up time --still blue through and through. Hope to see you, Deanna and Rhonda at Alisha's on Sat.!.... I'm bring BBQ beef....
