Rise and Shout, the Cougars are out!!!!

(Alison) Ever since I was younger, I can remember watching BYU football during the holidays, (sometimes spring practice and various other times) - usually at the Cartwright's since they had cable and access to the games. This year was no different, except it was at our house and our "family" consisted of our loyal BYU fan friends. BYU played in the Las Vegas Maaco Bowl on Dec 22, 2009 - they've played in this bowl for the last 5 years......This time we (BYU) played OSU (Oregon State Beavers from Corvallis, OR).....our Twin Lakes family. Their family is split among loyalties to Cougars or Beavers. It was a great game!! Mom and Dad asked me to send them an email when the game was over as it would be 6 am in Norway when the game finished.

The report:

BYU wins 44-20. They were down 7-0 to begin, but came back to put up 37 un-answered points. Great game for BYU! :) It was super windy there and the kickers had a horrible time punting, kicking field goals, etc. There were a couple of 6 yard punts.....by both teams.

Fun to watch and very few OSU fans - looked like mostly BYU fans, but it was hard to tell, everyone was so bundled up.

Love ya, alison

Dad's response:
WHAHOO!!! Sounds like a successful party at your house.  Rub it in at TL this summer!! Love, Dad

(haha I love it!)

Max Hall - has the most wins of any BYU QB - impressive because he follows a huge QB legacy.
