BYU vs University of Texas

We had the opportunity to go to the BYU/UT football game.  They were playing in Austin, TX which is just 2 hours from where we live.  

We left the boys soccer game at half-time and headed to Austin.  It normally would have only taken 2 hours but 100,000 people were expected to be at the game and we had to deal with the traffic that comes with that many people coming to the same spot.

We finally arrived and found parking.  Then we started walking.  We do not know our way around the UT-Austin campus.  When we had walked a few block, we realized we had not written down or taken a picture of where our car was parked.  We wrote down the information that we could remember from that point and kept walking.  

We had bought BYU tail-gate tickets in an air conditioned building and we arrived about 30 minutes before the party ended.  We were able to see Cosmo and get a picture of him with the boys.  

After the tail-gate party, we walked over to the stadium.  It was so hot.  W stayed down in the tunnels until we had to go up top to our seats.  There were water stations with ice cold buckets of water and free towels.  We each got a towel wet with ice water and put it around our necks.  

I enjoyed the game once the sun went down.  It was just too hot to be outside.

One interesting thing that happened...  Mark got up to take the twins to the bathroom.  A lady leaned forward and asked me where Mark had served his mission.  I told her Equador.  She said she thought she had served her mission with him.  I asked her what years she was in Equador.  They were there at the same time.  When Mark got back, I had him talk to this lady.  Sure enough, they had served together.  

This was one of the really great plays of the game.  

We beat UT last year and everyone said it was a fluke.  We really beat them this year.
