BSU FOOTBALL SEASON BEGINS TOMORROW!!! Woooohhoooooo!! As you can tell, I am an ardent fan. And have been n e since I was like 6 when Dad started getting season tickets for him, grampa, my sis and I. This has been tradition every fall, and each and every fall we always get to the stadium a few hours early to sit and eat at The Ram, we always got the huge nacho platter, and then we'd head over to the game.
I am excited for this year, but in the last year or two, things have changed. My sister is 6 hours away going to the rival college, so she cant go anymore. Grampa seems to be losing interest, he only goes to maybe a quarter of the games, usually giving some dumb excuse, this time he's driving my grandma up to BFE for a flea market. So that leaves dad and me. So now I am happy to say my husband gets to go with us, I enjoy having him everywhere I go. Although now since Granpa doesnt go, and gas prices and food prices and sisters college tuition are up... this is the first year we wont be going to The Ram. I am one who really doesnt like change unless I facilitate it, but there is nothing I can do. It is sad to see traditions die, especially when there is such an emotional attachment to them.
This year, it will be myself, dad and Zac. We will be tailgaiting in the parking lot of The Ram. Dad is going to bring the grill and polish sausages and other yummy stuff, Zac and I are bringing potato salad and stuff to munch on during the game, and we are going to have a great time, regardless of what tradition used to be. I enjoy spending the time with my dad. Thats 99% of the reason I go to the games. I love the games, but I dont get to see my dad very often. Even growing up he was the breadwinner, and usually fairly grumpy or tired after work, so we only saw him on weekends.
Tomorrow we play Idaho State University and we plan to kick butt like usual. This game isnt going to be on ESPN, but if you want to watch it, go to http://www.broncosports.com/

We sure love coach Hawk here in Boulder. I am sure you are bummed he left Idaho State, but you can't blame him for wanting a Division 1 coaching job. I hope you will root for CU as well as ISU!! (I just can't get over that blue field......)
We sure do miss Coach Hawk... Coach Pete is pretty good, but the Broncos havent been the same without Hawkins. I dont blame him one bit for taking the job in Boulder... I would have too!! I dont know if I can root for a team other than my Broncos though... Oh and Coach Hawk left Boise State University, not Idaho State... Idaho state is a little college in Pocatello.
I realized after I sent my msg that it is Boise State, not ISU......DUH!! As long as CU is not playing Boise, you can have 2 favorite teams, then throw in the Denver Broncos since you don't have a pro team to root for but have all the orange and blue Bronco's stuff....!
I enjoy your blog, your Christian spirit and joy. You never did say how the flushing of your gall bladder went - I read the link and was curious about it. Did you ever sell your truck? Just curious!

Hey there, I just posted on your questions, just cuz there was so much to say!! Do you have a blog I can link over to?
And I'm glad you enjoy my blog! I didnt think anyone really read it :)
Thanks for answering my questions! I was curious about the gallbladder flush, so now I will have to try it out.
I have thought about starting a blog, just haven't done it. I work part-time night shift (as a police dispatcher), so I have a lot of down time at work. I occassionally check out other blogs, but most are too strange (or vulgar) for me. I love your joy in the Lord and am curious to see if you end up in Alaska, have children, etc. It's kind of fun to see how others live. My e-mail address is: LRoss1832@aol.com
