Victory is SWEET!!!!

Hey, Ryan here again.

With the close of college football season, many of us guys (and gals) have a bittersweet feeling in our hearts. Guys, because football season has again come to a close (bitter), and gals, the guys will once again hear things you say on Saturday (sweet!).

We had a grand ol' football bash at our house on Monday, January 4th, to watch our favorite team, the Boise State Broncos, face the dreaded TCU Horned Frogs. BSU came into the game ranked #6 in the nation and TCU was ranked #4. There was a lot of pent up anger and frustration in our hearts from last year when we played TCU in the Pointsettia bowl and lost by one single point.

We all gathered in front of our new TV to witness this epic clash. Some of us ate, some of us couldn't eat, some of us picked our noses (Avery and Colton). In the end, Boise State came out victorious, beating the TCU squad 17-10 in a defensive nail-biter! Tears of joy were shed and husky voices cried out with glee as Boise State's defense intercepted a TCU pass with about 30 seconds to go, clinching the victory!

It has been a very good season to be a Boise State fan, or a college football fan in general. Heck, it's a good time of year, period. Women, you get your men back. Men, you get to come back to reality and realize that your family has missed you over the past 4 months. You might even be shocked to discover that you have another child or the child you have has grown quite a bit while you've been lost in a self-induced football coma.

So thanks, ladies, for your patience with us guys, and for loving us through our addiction!

Here's some Fiesta Bowl pictures from our fest:

The men supporting our team. As you can see,
only some of us remember how many fingers to hold up for "we're #1!"

Nice legs!!

I think it's contagious!

it is appropriate for grown men to hug like girls.
