Cougars eat Beavers for dinner

College football season has come to an end and Bowl season has just begun. Since we aren't rich enough to afford tickets to see Bama take on the Longhorns in Pasadena, or TCU get pummeled by Boise St at the Fiesta Bowl, we found ourselves a pretty sweet set of seats right here in town at the Maaco Bowl Las Vegas to see the BYU Cougars take on the Oregon State Beavers. I, Ryan, have to admit that I was a little hesitant about a possible BYU victory after the way OSU played and almost beat the Ducks, but game time will tell it all!

We got to the stadium early enough to find some great parking waaaay out in the dirt lot and got to our wonderful seats waaaaaay up in the corner end zone of the bleachers. We all bundled up because it was suppose to rain a little and be in the 40's but our great seats were positioned right in the path of the 25 mph wind and 11 degree wind chill. We were frost bitten 40 minutes before kickoff!

The game started out with a Beaver touchdown and a few disappointing BYU drives. Then the Cougars hit the grass and started to roll over OSU in the first. Half way through the second quarter we had enough and moved seats. We sadly admit that we went with our BYU gear and all and sat in the OSU section. But can ya blame us, their section was shielded from the wind by the box seats!

BYU continued to roll over OSU in a great football game! I think watching OSU have like 3 or 4 punts go less than 10 yards from the kicker was a big highlight. We had a ton of fun but froze the whole time! BYU wins 44-20
