BSU vs. San Jose State

 It's always nice to know that once every other year BSU comes out to play San Jose State.  A couple of years ago I went with Doug and Sandy but this year I went with a guy I used to work with.  The weather was nice an cool and breezy, cool enough to have a hot chocolate. I knew the game was probably going to be a blow out but it is always nice to see my Alma mater play and come out victoriously.  There were a lot of BSU fans there and I wasn't sure if the fans of San Jose were there for their team or just to see BSU.  I only ask this because even though it was a blowout the San Jose fans didn't seem to really get into the game.  There were only a few plays were you'd hear them cheer. 

GO ORANGE, GO BIG BLUE, FIGHT, FIGHT BSU!!!!!

CoLt's viSit

 Last weekend Colt came into town for his first Raider game against the San Diego Chargers.  He flew in on Saturday morning and we went over the San Francisco for the day.  While we were over there it was Fleet Week for the Navy, so we walked up and down the pier.  There were so many people there and I think we walked a total of 10 miles the whole day.  That morning there was a Navy ship parade but we missed that but there were still a few ships out on the water that eventually docked at the pier. We got lucky and got a free showing of the Blue Angels.  I've never seen the Blue Angels so it was really neat to see them and not to mention that they were extremely loud.  They were flying really low and I guess San Francisco is the only place that allows the Angels to fly that low.  We then walked down to Fisherman's Wharf and then up to Ghiradelli Square for some chocolate.  Colt had never had it before so he got a bar and that night he ate the whole thing.After we got back from San Francisco we had to go to Kohl's to get Colt a Raider jersey for the game. 

On Sunday, we took the BART to the Collesium instead of paying for parking.  It was a perfect day to watch football, the sun was out with a slight breeze.  We had pretty good seats as well that let us see the entire field.  The first two series for the Chargers were blocked punts by the Raiders special team, one for a safety and one for a touchdown.  The defense played great and it wasn't until the 3rd quarter that the Raider offense started to do anything but by that time the Chargers had gotten themselves back into the game. 

It was a back and forth battle down to last 2 minutes of the game.  After 7 years the Raiders finally broke their losing streak against the Chargers. After the game every Raider fan in the stadium was going crazy.  AFter the game was over Colt and I went and had a nice steak dinner at Black Angus.  It was really nice going to the game with Colt and seeing the Raiders win. 

College Game Day

  ESPN's college game day finally decided to make their first appearance to BOise.  It was a big game against Oregon State and so I decided to take a trip to Boise.  I was hoping to get tickets to the game but unfortunately the game was sold out, but I still had a great time seeing family and friends.  My mom came up to hang out with me for the weekend and she was the only brave one to get up early with me for game day.  I couldn't think of what to write on my sign and so I called Doug and he came up with my poster, so I was up till 12:30 the night before making my sign with Mama Jo and then got up at 5:45 to go to Bronco stadium.  I also ran into a Brandon an old friend I used to work with sat with us. 

After college game day was over my mom, me, Sandy and Mama Jo met up for lunch at Jalepenos.  After lunch we headed home for a little nap before the game.  I went to my friend's Erin's house and watched the game with some other friends.
