Dear BYU Football,

As you know, for my birthday weekend Jon and I came to watch you play TCU in the Dallas Cowboys stadium.

The stadium was super cool, so I guess I should at least thank you for that. But, seriously, back to business. Last year we made the 6 hr drive up to watch you get embarrassed by TCU. We thought that if we gave you another chance you would do better! The scoreboard said that you did, but I was so disappointed by your inability to play football! Aren't you guys called football players?? I guess the problem was the jumbotron...or whatever they call the gigantic tv in that stadium. I confess, I too had trouble avoiding that thing! It draws you in like a bug to a light.


That is all I can think of that gives any excuse for the way you played that game. I was seriously embarrassed to be wearing blue walking back to our car. Not a good feeling!


There were some good things about the game though:

--The nachos!

--The old guy in front who, bless his heart, stood up and got the fans to cheer for every first down BYU managed to squeak out. He was just precious!

--The little kids/dad sitting next to me. The Dad shouted about everything, and the kids would copy what he said, but only what they remembered. So it came out sounding really funny, and just made the Dad look like a bigger dork for yelling.

--This same Dad getting his car keys out during the 3rd quarter and violently shaking them for what felt like the entire quarter. His son even asked "dad why are you doing that?" At one point the noise stopped and I looked over only to find he was just switching hands.

--The Ref's made a few bad calls (DON'T be the team who blames it on that BYU. You boys didn't play the game like you know how, either way. Yes a few of those calls impacted the score, but you could have changed the score too if you had showed up to play!) ANYWAY, after this bad call, the BYU fans of course BOOed. But, they kept right on Booing at every dead ball that quarter! This of course sent me into a fit of hysteria. I seriously couldn't stop laughing! That combined with key-jingler made my night!

--In the 4th quarter someone down front stood up and held up a sign for the BYU fans to see that read "PUT JIMMER IN!". I thought that was good advice!


So BYU football, in conclusion, please get your act together. I would like to be able to root for you without doing the walk of shame!

Sincerely,

Sarah

Didn't we barely miss each other at the game last year too? Well we did it again. I actually didn't go to the game, but my whole family was there. I was in Dallas though! We should plan it better next time and run into each other!
