Getting Some Respect
I am still feeling quite sad about the outcome of the BYU vs Wake Forest game. However, the crowd was amazing, over 23,000, and I feel quite good about the atmosphere and how loud it was. We gave them a run for their money and only lost by about five, we had them, but unfortunately we couldn't put it away in the end.
However, there are some good things that came out of this game (at least they make me feel warm and fuzzy on the inside). Teague, WF's best player, made the comment that this was the best crowd he had ever played in front of. And WF's coach made a couple of good comments. First, that it was a great crowd and the loudest he has ever hears. And second, (this is the one that really makes me feel good) is that BYU would be competitive in the ACC (really good basketball conference that gets lots of national recognition). I know that we will never join the ACC because well they are all back east and it would be silly to have the teams back east and then one in Utah, but it still made me feel good that the coach of the number 6 team in the nation thinks that we could compete with his team and the rest of the ACC on a regular basis (the ACC has 3 teams in the top 6). Anyways, that is my happy note for the day.

A Saturday of Sports
This Saturday me and Richard spent most of the day watching sports...BYU of course. First we watched the basketball game against Arizona State, it was in Arizona. This was a big game for BYU because we (meaning BYU for most of this post) are one spot out of the top 25 and ASU was ranked 17 (or 20, depending on which poll you look at, but either way...) so this could be our big chance to break into the national rankings! Woohoo. Only one problem...we lost...76-75. Talk about a heart breaker! And even worse is that we actually won the game, we should have beat them by quite a bit (we would have beat them easily in Provo). I have a few complaints about the game...most of which are blamed on the refs (I know that I am biased...but seriously...anybody who watched the game would agree with me regardless of which team you support, except ASU of course).
1. We got completely homered the entire game. Our players literally got thrown to the ground (no exaggeration...jersey grabbed and thrown to the ground) on several occasions and yet we are the ones that got called for the foul...I'm pretty sure that is backwards.
2. ASU was in DOUBLE bonus with 10 minutes left in the game (HOMERED!).
3. Harden (ASU's "best" player) had more free throws than the entire BYU team.
4. Only 8 of Harden's points came from something other than free throws (I don't think that makes him a great player, it makes him a player that gets bailed out by the refs every time he drives to the basket).
5. We didn't drive enough, if we had driven to the basket more we might have had a chance to get ASU in more foul trouble.
6. Jackson Emery fouled out with 5 minutes left in the game (the last foul was one in which he was knocked to the ground by ASU).
7. We did actually win the game, but the refs changed their minds after the buzzer. We were down by two with 3 seconds left and we had the ball under our own basket (our inbounds play was not good, but we still won). Tavernari took a shot that was completely tipped and not even close however he was able to recover it and throw a quick pass to Abouo who tipped it in (backwards) as the red lights went off and the clock hit zero. One of the refs called it good, giving BYU the win, however after reviewing the play they changed their minds, deciding that the shot came after the buzzer. This is awful because they called it good first and there was no way the video evidence was good enough to overturn their original call. It was literally a matter of fingertips, the human eye cannot see the difference made by a tenth of a second.
Here is the video of about the last minute. Note that in the beginning of the clip Lee Cummard (BYU) is literally hip checked and nothing is called. Also, at the end, no human can tell if the shot was off in time, but the ref called it good FIRST, that is the most important thing.
8. And lastly, we were 10-0 going into that game, we should be 11-0 now but the refs messed up our record on that one. We were the better team (cocky I know, but true).
Those are my complaints about the basketball game, and I will not be over that one for a while. Wake Forest (6th in the nation) comes to the Marriott Center in Provo on January 3rd, hopefully we win that (that will make me feel much better).
After the frustration of the basketball game we went to my house to watch BYU football play Arizona in the Las Vegas Bowl. I am not too upset about this because it was just UGLY! We did not play well at all. :( So I don't really have a list of complaints for this like I do for the basketball game. But all in all it was not a good day to be a BYU fan. :(

Forgotten Carols
Last night we had a very fun evening with my family. First, we went to Los Hermanos for dinner! YUMMY! MY FAVORITE!!!
Then we went and watched Michael McClean's Forgotten Carols at the David O. McKay Events Center at Utah Valley University. It was a great night! (sorry the pictures are a little blurry)

Thanksgiving in Arizona
We spent our Thanksgiving Break in Scottsdale Arizona with Richard's sister Carolyn, it was a lot of fun. We left at about 11am on Tuesday when I got off of work and we got there by about 8:30pm. It was great to get there that early, we were thinking we would get there around ten. Google maps was not very reliable, it said it would take 10 1/2 hours but we made it in 9 1/2 . :) This is us taking a break at the scenic view...we think that is part of the Grand Canyon in the background...anybody know for sure???
The weather was beautiful! Carolyn and Chad kept saying what a bummer it was that we came on this week because it had started cooling down for that week and then was gonna be nice again the next week, but being from Utah we were more than happy with the 65 degree weather! It felt great compared to the 50 degrees we had been used to. We even went swimming on Friday! Woohoo! Swimming during Thanksgiving Break now that is the good life!
Wednesday we went shopping to get everything that we needed for Thanksgiving dinner, since there was only four of us we decided against a turkey and went with a rotisserie chicken instead. The main thing that we focused on was PIE (as long as there was potatoes and stuffing I was happy and all Carolyn cared about was her pie). We made six...yes SIX for four people! Haha! Needless to say we spent the entire weekend eating pie. We had to chocolate, one banana cream, one pumpkin, one cherry, and huge Apple Crisp (which we are counting as a pie).
We played many games of Outburst and it was very fun, we enjoyed it and I enjoyed getting to know Carolyn because I haven't really been able to spend much time with her before. And we also got to know her boyfriend, Chad, which was a lot of fun.
Thursday we just spent the day eating, watching movies, and playing games, it was GREAT!
Friday we did the same. :)
Saturday Chad didn't have to work so we spent the whole day doing lots of fun things. First, we went hiking (which I don't love, but Richard's family loves hiking as does Chad so I tried to be a good sport...I failed a little...). We did a hike called Camelback and there was a lot of people hiking it. We only made it about 2/3 of the way because I was dying and so everybody was very nice and willing to turn around there. This is how much I enjoy hiking...
Here is me and Richard with Carolyn's dog Shredder. This is as far as we got on the hike.
All four of us...
After hiking and eating lunch we went and saw the new James Bond Movie "Quantum of Solace" it was fun. Especially because Scottsdale has a 5 dollar theater! And it has brand new movies!!! Provo needs one of those!!!!
After relaxing for a while we went to a big huge shopping complex in Scottsdale (expensive stores) to look at the lights. It was fun to feel the Christmas spirit! :)
Me and Richard
Richard and Carolyn
The Thanksgiving Break was great, but unfortunately it had to end. We headed back to Utah at 10am. We took a stop at the Glen Canyon Dam (the dam that makes Lake Powell) because Richard being the Civil Engineer that he is wanted to look at it (especially because they had just been talking about it in one of his classes). While in the visitor's center we found out that they give tours where you can go inside of the dam. I had no desire to do this but Richard did, so he went and I decided it would be more fun to sit outside and talk on the phone (don't worry, it was warm outside). So our five minute stop turned into 1 1/2 hours (we got there at 2:30 but the tour didn't start til 3 and then it was 45 minutes long). But we still got home by 9:15 so we considered the trip a success and Richard was very happy that he got to do his tour.
