Big game!


Today's the "big game." I put it in quotes because everyone knows the REAL big game is this Saturday, BYU vs. Oklahoma. That's HUGE!!! But the "big game" around here is tonight's Boise State vs. Oregon game. And it is big.
First of all, it's the hardest game for the BSU this entire season, and if they win this, there's a good chance they can go undefeated. It is always wonderful for a non-BCS school to go undefeated.... (even when it's Utah...). So go BSU!!
This town really loves their BSU Broncos. Everywhere you go, you'll see memorabilia. We have the normal stuff: car magnets, license plate frames, flags, window shades, posters,
But then we get a little bit wacky. At Carl's Junior, the drink fountain area is all blue and orange. People think it's okay to wear bright blue and eye-shockingly-bright orange together-- in the name of team spirit. I saw an old man wearing blue Crocs (which in and of itself is a sin) with an orange strap across the back bearing the BSU emblem. Blech!! Walmart, Target, and Joann's all have bright blue-and-orange sections selling more memorabilia. But then to top it off, at my OB-GYN's office, the little stirrups you have to put your feet into when you have an invasive exam.... yep, the little covers on those are BSU fleece!
This town is crazy. Awesome, but a little bit crazy.

People are crazy about the packers here, but the fuzzy stirups? That's a new one!
