Yep...you guessed it, another football game. However, this game was, in my humble opinion, the best so far this season. Something funny happened. Matt and I braved traffic, hurrying to the game as usual. We parked on the golf course as usual. We hurriedly ate our apples since you can't take in any fresh produce, as usual. We ran to gate 6 hoping to get to see kick off as usualy, but as we walked into the rose bowl, we saw something very unusual. It was empty.
Apparently we had miscalculated game time and arrived an hour early. We did get prime seating - 18th row, and had plenty of time for Matt to ask me sample interview questions.
When the game finally did start, it was a nail biter. It literally came down to the 1 second that got put back on the clock. It was a tie game.
(Okay - so this pic was actually taken with 3 sec. There was one more complete pass and then it came down the second that determined everything.)
Then, the kicker that I was having difficulty believing in (story of my life with BYU's Mitch Payne) who had already missed two previous field goals, made one from 50 yards! Amazing!
So every school has something completely embarrassing about it's sporting events. For BYU, it's the cougar band. They never play anything but overtures, and fancy songs that no one actually knows. And, I admit, my senior year of high school, the first time I heard, "Another cougar....First down!" I thought it was a little cheesy. Anyways, UCLA has something much more embarrassing....A Passion Bucket...yes, I'm serious. Every game they try to fill the bucket with cheers, but regardless of how much or how little the crowd cheers, it always ends up full - rigged. Plus, the Yell Leader people are always referring to filling up the bucket...wow.
I'm learning penalty signals. I practice during the game and watch the ref with the white hat. This is me doing holding. Holding, on the offense. 10 yards. I sound pretty good, right? te he... I'm learning.
Sometimes, Matt practices too - Off sides!
Good game. Good times. Gotta love American Football.
A PASSION BUCKET? HAHAHAHAHA Oh man, that is desperately sad. Yet, it pleases me oh so much. I hope you contribute to filling that bucket Mykel. You too the Matthew! I am also very pleased that you practice signals for the game. Education is very important. I also really like the man looking over the Matthew's shoulder in the off sides photograph...sketchy...
