To all my friends who are worried that Matt and I have forgotten our BYU blood, we have not. The Cougar Pride runs deep - we have not forgotten them entirely in our new Longhorn love. The truth is, I was so bitter about the BYU vs. TCU game that we went to, it's just taken me a long time to post. We drove 4 hours up to Arlington to see our beloved cougs get slaughtered. I think they must have left the real team back in Provo!
The good news is that we had a fantastic trip anyway. A few Houston friends joined us for the game and Matt's cousin Evonne and her family met up with us from Dallas. Before the football game there was a BYU Alumni tailgate party. We saw Ty Detmer . . .
. . . Cosmo . . .
. . . cheerleaders . . .
. . . and Danny got a football!
And he also got a bloody lip playing catch with dad.

At the pre-game festivities Danny quickly caught on to cheering "Go Cougars, go Cougars, go!" After eating, Evonne kindly took all the kids home to go to bed so the rest of us could enjoy the game (THANKS A MILLION!). We were impressed that there were nearly as many BYU fans as TCU fans. The beginning was exciting. The beginning being when they ran out with the flags and then the cougs did the haka. Very cool. From the first kickoff onward, it was pretty painful.
It didn't stop my friend Mindy and I from cheering, but we were a little sad that we were present for the cougs one loss of the season. Final score 32-7.
The good news is that the Cougars have won every game since, so are still in the top 25. We also had a fun weekend with the Wallace (Matt's cousins) family in Dallas. AND now every time we are watching football or playing catch out back, Danny calls it Cougar ball. Not football. Cougar ball. What do you think? Do we have a future Longhorn or future Cougar?

Go Cougars! Sorry you had to witness a loss. That was a very sad game. It is always fun to go and support our beloved BYU though, and to start ingraining our children young.
SISTER HONG!
You didn't tell me you guys were coming to provo!!!?!
Ps. Danny looks so cute in byu blue. :D
Actually Leica, we went to the game up in Arlington, TX at TCU. Matt was in Provo last week doing stuff for work though. It was a pretty quick trip, but he did run into Dallin on campus. We'll have to call you next time we're in your part of the world.
