Thanks for the Ride...

Well, you know what they say....

  • "You win some, you lose some."
  • "You can't win 'em all."
  • "All good things must come to an end."

I really thought BYU was going to win the game going into overtime, but it just didn't happen. And while it hurts tonight, it's been "one heck of a season" (to use an Honor Code appropriate phrase).

I'll be honest...I've always been more of a BYU football fan than a basketball fan. I went to almost every home football game during my college years, but the basketball team just wasn't anything to get super excited about, so I only attended a handful of basketball games. Boy-oh-boy, has that changed over the past couple of years. If I was a lovely BYU co-ed this year, I'm sure I would've been cheering my heart out in the Marriott Center every game. So thanks to Coach Rose, Jimmer, Jackson and the boys for making this season great and making me a new fan.


A Note to Coach Rose: I know it's going to be tough replacing Jimmer, but I have a very promising little recruit for you. She is feisty as all get-out and yells at anybody who tries to take her ball from her, so I think she's loaded with potential.

(I really thought the basketball gods were on our side today when Abby dug this ball out of the cabinet all by herself and played with it all afternoon.)

For those of you who still want to show Jimmer some love for being, well, THE Jimmer, check out this awesome shirt:



My brother-in-law owns a funny t-shirt company and this is one of their latest (and GREATEST) creations. They are only $10 and you can find them on Facebook under MannaTee Shirts or you can email them at sales@mannateeshirtcompany.com. Check out their website: mannateeshirtcompany.com.


*The Jimmer shirt isn't up on the website yet (you can get it through their Facebook page or by emailing them), but they have lots of other cool shirts worth checking out.*


And that's a wrap. RAH-RAH-RAH-RAH-RAH---Goooooooo COUGARS!!!
