Season opening game for the Utes today. (Some of you do not follow the Utes. Ya know that void in your life, it's the absence of the University of Utah. Easily fixable with this really corny video montage. Dr. Hig, this one is meant for you especially.)
Was I nervous? Of course I was nervous. Michigan is the winningest program in history. Don't believe me? Check out this Wikipedia article. It must be true. They have a fancy new coach. A Fancy stadium that seats basically twice the number of people that the Utes home stadium seats. Boosters who pay lots of money for good athletes. Now don't get me wrong, I don't mean to disparage the Wolverines or call them cheaters, but the tradition runs deep and the school expects to win.
The Utes on the other hand, are a good looking team. Many an expert has said that Utah has a chance at being a great team this year. Check here for one unbiased expert's opinion (Scroll down).
Diane even made a cake for the occasion:
Pretty talented wife I got there, huh? Looks AND cake making skills. Some guys have all the luck (by that I mean Tom Brady and myself. Sure he's got a lot more money and GQ cover guy looks, but can Gisele make a Utah cake? I doubt it. Plus he went to Michigan.....speaking of.....)
The game was great. The first half was amazing. Utah put up some impressive numbers. Scored some touchdowns and looked great on D. Sadly, Utah also got called for a bunch of penalties. Kinda lame, and something that has happened a little too much recently. But the Utes pulled out some great offense in the first half and pulled ahead 22-10 at the half.
While the second half was not as amazing, the Utes did hold on for the victory. The Utes defense looked good. The game really should not have been as close as it turned out to be. The Utes had more yards and looked much more efficient. The Utes also happened to have more penalty yards.

How did the cake taste you ask? Like sweet victory. Go Utes!

You guys sure remove a lot of comments. :)
Wow! I am so impressed with you Diane! You are a very supportive wife, although your brother will be sorely disappointed! :)
Go Cougars!
I still cheer for BYU and I am sure I will make a BYU cake one of these days, but there's nothing wrong with supporting my husband's team! Gotta keep the man happy! :)
Diane if you could teach all the other girls out there that supporting your husband's team is a sure fire way to a happy relationship I would be greatly appreciative.
GO UTES!
