Sugar Bowl

Well, I have to start my blog, tonight ,with a commentary about last nights Sugar bowl game, The one between the good ole boys of Alabama and the Utah running Utes. I was born and raised in Alabama, but I have lived most of my adult life here in the Salt Lake Valley. I have never been a Crimson Tide fan, it has been the War Eagles(Auburn) all the way. I graduated from BYU and I have a son who graduated with a Masters degree from Utah. I have, although, respected Alabama for their constant excellence in their football program. This past couple of weeks when we found out that Utah would play Alabama, people were curious of how I felt about it. You know, where was I leaning. Truthfully, I hoped that Utah could beat the socks off of the Tide, but I didn't think it would happen. I thought Bama would spank Utah.
Before the game, the media made a point of letting us know that there was not one player on the Utah team that Alabama would even consider recruiting. It was sad that the commentators was so unprepared for Utah to win that they had nothing to bring out about the excellence of the Utah program.
Much to my surprise,and everyone else's, Utah came out motivated to the maximum. Their momentum never stopped. I was so excited as I watched and the more I watched the more excited I got. Utah showed what a force they were to be reckoned with. I actually felt sorry for the Alabama team and fans. As the camera fanned on their faces, It was a picture of "What just hit us?" Yes, most of the Ute team are LDS and are returned missionaries. Yep, they whooped ass, I mean butt. It was sweet. Now those of you that are Bama fans. I am sorry that it was your team that had to be whooped upon to prove that the football in Utah is serious. I hope that we can still be friends. But it was fun to watch, at least it was at my house.
