Rise and Shout, the Cougars are out!

So yesterday was the big BYU-Oklahoma opening game in which all predictions had BYU losing by quite a bit. But, who really trusts those things anyhow. Though a number 3 against a number 20 is usually a pretty easy call. Ha! But not when BYU is playing! As the cheesy ESPN thing said during the game, "Every underdog has a chance." And we took that chance and rammed it down their throats and pulled off the biggest upset of opening week, and let's see how the rest of the season plays out. Though this isn't the first time BYU has one big, it's the biggest upset we've pulled off since 1990; the biggest since I've been here. And b/c of that, there was some CRAZINESS following the game. As soon as it ended, we all ran out of our apartments and started yelling and screaming and jumping and such. It was awesome. Then we all went to the street and started yelling w/ people from other apartments as cars drove by honking their horns and more people screaming.

Then we thought that there was probably something good going on on campus, so we headed up to the Wilk. to see if anything was going on there. We got there and there was a huge crowd of people standing out in front of it, so we joined the crowd. Then we all stampeded through the Wilk cheering and singing the fight song. Next was a race from the Wilk. to the victory bell. That's a much longer jog than I remember, but it was good. Probably just seemed longer b/c I'm so out of shape and not used to the mountain air and such. So they rang the victory bell, and some guy gave a little victory speech and we all walked down (whew, no one was in the mood to run anymore) to condo row for a block party. Someone had hooked their speaker up to an amp and had some music playing while everyone was cheering and dancing and such. Then someone had an OU pinata that they hung from a balcony and beat w/ a stick. Then I was pretty much done for the day. Basically non-stop screaming from 5-10:30 or so. All in all, AWESOME!

Hands down, this was the craziest night in Provo since I've been here and could quite possibly be the craziest I'll ever have. Then again, I do have another three years, so we'll see. But it was totally amazing and the craziest night of all time. w00t w00t Cougars!!! Ra, ra, ra ra ra. Ra, ra, ra ra ra, Gooooooooooooooooo Cougars!!!!!!!
