Boise State vs. San Jose State

I took Friday off to spend the day with Sandy and prepare ourselves for the Boise State vs San Jose game. Sandy flew in on Thursday night, Doug and I drove out to San Jose to pick her up. Why she didn't fly into Oakland is another story. On Friday morning we went shopping at IKEA and had lunch at In-and-Out. We then left around 4pm to fight the traffic to get to the game. It took us an hour to drive out there, which is not as bad as I thought it would be.
When we got there we were greeted with boo's. I told Doug I don't think I've ever been booed in my life. But I felt proud with Boise State on my chest. We had awesome seats, we were 2 rows up from the field and near the endzone. So when BSU was going in our direction it was great to see them score. I was suprised that the game did not sell out. There were lots of rude fans from San Jose who didn't appreciate when we started chanting Boise State. I couldn't believe how many penalties were called and how slow the game moved. I didn't think the game was ever going to end. A security guard came over and took a flag pole away from the guy sitting next to us. He really didn't appreciate that one, but I guess it was for safety reason. Speaking of safety reason, the consession stand people even took the lids off our water bottles. Don't ask me why but I guess it's a safety concern as well. Sandy, Doug and I were even on TV because the game was on ESPN. I've always wanted to be on national television.
We left the game after the last touchdown so we didn't have to fight the traffic, but we got lucky and got out pretty fast. I had a great time and can't wait for the next time I get to see the boys in blue play again. GO ORANGE, GO BIG BLUE, FIGHT, FIGHT, BSU!!!!!!

So You Think You Can Dance

I don't know if any you watch or watched "So you Think you can Dance" but I do and last night I got to watch the Top 10 dancers perform live. It was so awesome and I have to say that Twitch is my favorite. I went with Doug's mom and aunt and had a great time. The show was 3 hours long and they basically performed some of the top dances from the show. I tried to take pictures but they didn't turn out to clear so I went to the Fox website and downloaded some photos of the dances that they performed last night. Katie and Josh were the obvious favorite couple. They had a lot of good dances during the regular season and performed them again last night. They had a lot of talking and video hightlights from the show that could have been cut out. It was like watching the show all over again but this time I was there live watching it.
