Fat lotta good that did....


I stole that title from Jill because: 1. I thought it was funny, and 2. it fit my story.

I have never been much of a football fan, well any sports fan for that matter. I like playing most, but I don't really care to watch, until now. I am suddenly a huge U fan and I am so excited that they are doing so good.

I found out that they were going to start selling the student tickets to the U/BYU game last Sat. This is the big game of the season and so I got really excited and decided to try for tickets.

I woke Daniel up at 5:00 to go stand in line and they started selling tickets at 8:00. Chase and I joined Daniel in line at 8:30 and we stood in line until 10:15. Just over 5 hours for Daniel. When Daniel got in line, it wrapped clear around the stadium, across the street and further up the side walk. When we finally made it to the ticket booth they were only allowing each U card to get one ticket and Daniel is no longer a student. (In the beginning each card could get 2 tickets).

We stood in line for 5 hours and came out with one free standing ticket. What are we going to do with one ticket? I'm not too disappointed because as Daniel started talking to people in line he learned that they had been camping there since the TCU game on Thursday night. They camped two nights and one full day. I'm not disappointed because there is no way that we could have ever done that. These people need to get a life.

Anyone want one single free standing ticket? You have to have a U student I.D. to use it- you are more than welcome to it!

Ha ha, that's funny. Too bad, what a waste of time for poor Daniel! I hope you made him some hot cocoa for standing in line for you!

You know that Andrew will KILL for that ticket...he's been looking for one forever. Now, he will just need to get a fake U of U ID...no problem.

Oh thats funny, okay it reminds me of last year the day after Thanksgiving. Ryan and I stood in line for a 42 inch flat screen. People camped over night in the cold and the end result they had 2 tv's and we didn't get it. What we do for things right? Oh-well you will remember this one for years.
