michael, amy and i are going to a game together. not just any game. the game.
i grew up going to BYU games with my dad. his father has had season tickets to BYU football and basketball games for like 50 years (or so.) my pops will be at a young men's activity tomorrow and offered his tickets in the lower bowl to michael and me. however, when my aunt and uncle (who sit next to pops) offered to take granpa anywhere he wanted with them as chauffeur he said, "I'd like to see BYU v SDSU." it was a no-brainer--he should have our seats. these have been his seats for 50 years (or so) afterall. i moved quickly and purchased some bench seats soon thereafter. so we're set!
byu has an RPI of #1 in one of the big three national RPI rankings. (for those of you who don't know, RPI is a rank of the strength of a team's schedule.) this means that BYU has played--according to one expert--the hardest schedule in the country with a record of 19-1. BYU is also ranked #9 in a tie with syracuse in the national polls. SDSU has an RPI of 4 and is ranked 4th in the country with a record of 20-0. so tomorrow at the marriott center two top ten teams will meet in provo for the biggest college basketball game to ever be played in the state...oh and there's a certain jimmer who is in a neck and neck competition for player of the year playing for the cougars.
buckle up and enjoy the ride. we'll be cheering as loud as we can and will give you a report on how it went.

Don't forget to cheer just as loud for Emery! He's my favorite and it's not just because we're family :)
yes we will! jackson emery came to michael's school and anytime we hear his name michael reminds me.
jackson is the unsung hero this year (although i just found an article on him in usa today here...)
