First BSU Game!

Despite living in Idaho for nearly five and a half years, I have never gone to a BSU game. Yesterday, I unexpectedly had my first experience. Brooke and Kevin had tickets that they didn’t want to use and because no one picked them up on Craigslist, I got to take them. A quick call to Abbey forty-five minutes before the game began and we were set to go. We missed kick-off and BSU was already up by a touchdown when we arrived and found our seats, which were close to one end of the field but really low down. As t was the last game of the season and they were playing New Mexico, who was apparently not too great of a team, it wasn’t packed and there wasn’t super high energy. But it was still a blast (and we didn’t totally freeze!). By the end of the game, we knew to shout “First Down” when we needed to and cheered loudly whenever the Broncos scored a touchdown. We also amused ourselves by discussing the two-toned hair of the cheerleaders, the difference between the pony-tailed cheerleaders and the long-haired cheerleaders as well as cursing the band that seem to cut us off wherever we turned (although they did play Queen music during their half-time show…). We left before the end of the game- it was getting really cold, we couldn’t quite feel our feet and BSU was up by like a million. And they scored again after we left (we could hear the cannon that indicated a touchdown). For as ill prepared for the weather as I was and for as last minute as this adventure was, I’m so glad that I was able to take this opportunity! I am now far more likely to go to another BSU game if the opportunity presents itself… imagine how much better it would be in the sunshine!
