Now the only problem is that none of us get the mtn.

Well, as you can tell from my blog I have not been able to get over the depression of BYU’s loss to BC. Don’t get me wrong. The season is not over since we lost to Boston College. However, if we had won it would have changed the entire complexion of the season. The fact that we were so close just left me with a bad taste in my mouth. My only consolation is the fact that some writer(sorry I can’t find the article) called out the refs for saying it was an interception without indisputable proof.

Well, I’m finally coming out of the depression. I’ve made the 5 hour drive to Provo to watch BYU take on Utah State. I know I know. It’s not a huge game, but it’s always fun to see an in state rival go down. Plus, the atmosphere at a game is fantastic at this point. Assuming the BYU game can avoid the rain then it should be the last game before it gets so cold that staying at home to watch the game is almost better.

What was a healthy BYU football team is now looking a little banged up. Playing BC does that to you. I’ll be watching the offensive line in particular with Eddie Keele out for the season and Sete Aulai suspended for this game for violating team rules.

I must admit that I think having Sete Aulai out is almost a benefit to BYU football since his snaps have been horrible. So many of them have been right at the top of John Beck’s sneakers. That can’t help a quarterback feel comfortable back there. We’ll see if Jake Kuresa can step up and play center well.

Eddie Keele out for the season is a major blow for cougar fans. He will be missed, but hopefully someone will step up and fill his shoes well.

Well, time to go and play some ultimate frisbee here in Provo and then I’ll be off to the game. What more could a reasonable man ask for?

I found a nice blog that shows a bunch of films of Cosmo’s new TV ad spots. It’s a nice webpage for those of us outside Utah to see what’s being developed. I’ve personally never fallen in love with Cosmo or mascots in general, but these aren’t too bad.

If you are in Utah, then I apologize for submitting you to more of these commercials.
