We're here!

This is us during the fire alarm that just went off at the tailgate. Bummer.

Game Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's warm and sunny outside and we are ready for football! We have about 3 hours until the tailgate starts and we are getting antsy. The streets are buzzing with excitement and the majority of the people you see are fans. The funny thing is I think we have got a few more people from Auburn and LSU rooting for us. Every time we see them they yell "Go Utes!" It appears that their hate for Alabama and Nick Saban run deeper than their love of the SEC. Either way, I think we have a lot of people across the country pulling for us (except for everyone at ESPN).

Anyway, I'm off to go see my brother and his wife that just flew in from Atlanta. I'll be posting more photos from my phone during the tailgate and the game, so keep checking back!

GO UTES!!!

17.5 hours until kick-off!

Today was pretty good. Everything was pretty chill until the afternoon. The pep rally at the team hotel got thousands of Utah fans pumped for the game tomorrow. After it was over, everyone went to get dinner and hit the French Quarter. I am still pretty surprised at how many Utah fans are here, but it seemed that Bama fans were all showing up today. There was a lot of jarring on the streets tonight, which was fun. Every time we heard "Roll Tide!" (which is driving us nuts, I might add) we would yell "Roll Tide, Roll! Round the bowl and down the hole" or make some reference to the Florida Gators or start chanting "Urban Meyer" while doing the gator chomp which upset ALL of the Bama fans. They HATED it! It was great. We then went to a Blues Club, a French Bakery for some scone-like doughnuts, and then headed back to the hotel. We are SUPER excited for the game tomorrow and it can't come fast enough.

I posted a lot of photos and such throughout the day from my phone, so check everything out below this post to see what we were up to today.

Go Utes!

Now we are at this famous french bakery called Cafe du Monde where they serve these french doughnuts called Beignets. New Orleans is famous for these and the bakery has been around since the 1860's.
