Taking Down the Big House

We took a trip to Ann Arbor for the opening weekend of College Football and it was AWESOME! We all arrived in Michigan on different flights and had our own glitches, but we all survived and had a great experience in one of the most historic football scenes in the country.

We had a great trip to Ann Arbor last weekend. What an experience! I hate to say that it started out on a low note, when I had to hop on my 11:59pm flight. Heather dropped me off and that was sad--but things turned downhill quickly when I sat down in my seat... next a 300 lbs. female. Sooooooo... the 4 hours I thought I would have to sleep, were continuously interupted by passer-bys and the drink cart, as half my body was forced into the aisle. Oh- all while the arm-rest was cutting my gut in half. Awesome.

I was able to get to Detroit safe and sound. It was really nice to get to the Marriott and check-in to get some sleep. It was especially nice to check-in under my dad's name, who has 'elite' status. They seem to be much nicer once they see the 'elite' on the reservation.

The game the next day started at 3:30pm. We decided that we better get to Ann Arbor around 10am to avoid traffic and enjoy the town before the game. That might have been a weeeeeeeeeeee early. We had breakfast at some diner in town then ended up resting/napping on somebody's lawn for an hour or so. Oh well. All (most) of the Michigan fans were very friendly.

The dude in the wife beater didn't really know how to shut his mouth. He was talking trash the whole first half. Which was funny, cuz the Utes dominated the first half. He changed his tune in the second half--

As you can see, he was ashamed.

Great trip all together. Good time with the Short boys and always good to have the Utes win- and beat effing BCS teams.

Can't wait for Washington to beat the coogs.

GO UTES!!!
