Rah! Rah! Rah Rah Rah!

"Rise all loyal Cougars and hurl your challenge to the foe.

We will fight, day or night, rain or snow.
Loyal, strong, and true
Wear the white and blue.
While we sing, get set to spring.
Come on Cougars it's up to you. Oh!

Chorus:
Rise and shout, the Cougars are out
along the trail to fame and glory.
Rise and shout, our cheers will ring out
As you unfold your victr'y story.

On you go to vanquish the foe for Alma Mater's sons and daughters.
As we join in song, in praise of you, our faith is strong.
We'll raise our colors high in the blue
And cheer our Cougars of BYU!
Rah! Rah! Rah Rah Rah!
Rah! Rah! Rah Rah Rah!
Gooooooo Cougars!"

How about those matchie-poo t-shirts we're sporting? Reese and Quincy have some too, but some friends of ours offered to keep the girls for us, so we favored leaving them at home. Thank goodness we did, it was a very late night...but i have to say i was hoping to get a photo of us all in our matching shirts for the scrapbook. Aaron always makes fun of those families who wear matching old navy t-shirts on 4th of July, so i know being "twinners" for the game was a huge sacrifice for him that probably wouldn't have happened at all were it not for the cougar pride deep inside him. (Plus, i threatened to wear a Boise State shirt if he chose not to participate)



The game was on saturday night...the same night as our stake conference adult session. Our stake president actually made a comment regarding the game in a leadership meeting the previous week and said, "I am aware there is a big football game the same night as the saturday night adult session, but I know the faithful will attend" ...Aaron figures that statement can be interpreted either way, and we had our game tickets long before conference was scheduled. We spotted the 2nd ward bishop at the game, the centerton ward bishop, our ward high council representative and eighteen other families from our stake at the football game, so we may not have made the right choice, but we did make a popular one!


And this is why big hair should really be confined to the states of Utah and Texas...nice view, huh? The only thing more annoying than her big-mormon-mom-hair was the fact that she harmonized with the cougar fight song. Seriously, who does that?

Sadly, the cougars ended up losing a very close game, but we had a great time and it was definitely worth the trip to Tulsa...it gave us plenty of time to think about the poor little deer we hit going 50 miles an hour on the drive home. more to come on that...
