Happy Valley is Right!

So, i've never cared for the the name given to Utah Valley as "Happy Valley," but that's what is was yesterday! I'm fortunate enough to have tickets to BYU football and yesterdays game, while not close, was very rewarding.  BYU simply pommelled the Pac-10 UCLA Bruins 59-0.  

The weather was perfect.  A cool 80 degrees and most of BYU's scoring happened on my end of the field which was fun to watch.  Fans were shaking their car keys before half time.  The photo to the left is a pretty good view of where UCLA spent most of the game. . . on the turf.  Not bad for a "less athletic, slower, over-rated" BYU football team.  I think a few ESPN analysts had to eat their words after this one.  In fact the Mountain West Conference beat 4 Pac-10 teams yesterday, including a UNLV win over 15th ranked ASU.  

It was a great day for Cougar fans.  I couldn't resist taking a picture of the beautiful scoreboard afterwards.  Especially considering most experts put us only winning by about 8 pts.  Just add 51 more and they were right:)  The "Quest for Perfection" continues.  Go Cougars!
