Its time for the Fiesta Bowl

BLUE
 This horse leads the way for the football team to charge the blue field for every home game. The horse also traveled all the way to Phoenix for tonight's game.

Tonight OUR Boise State Broncos will be taking the football field against the TCU (Texas Christian University) Horned Frogs for the 2010 Fiesta Bowl.  Yes, I said “horned frogs”—I don’t know what that is --and I saw an interview with the TCU football team and not many of them knew either!!  :) The Boise State Broncos did not lose a game this season (13-0) and are well deserved to have the invitation to play in the Fiesta Bowl.

We wanted to make the drive down to Phoenix to cheer on our team but a lot of things were against us to make the trip.  Even with the money factor set aside ($150 per ticket), they scheduled this game on the evening of a school night.  When you have a student in high school it is not as easy to miss school as it was when they were younger.  At Logen’s school, the students are only allowed to miss 3 days per semester. With flu season and a vacation that we took in October, we are at our limit!

You can all be assured that we are all wearing our blue and orange today.  Texts have gone out to Tyler and Heather to remind them to wear BSU shirts and colors today in support of the game.   We bought Heather (Tyler’s girlfriend) a “scrub” shirt (she works in a doctors office) to wear to work today, also!  Remember when YOU are getting dressed today the colors of the day are:  BLUE AND ORANGE!

This is only the second invitation BSU has had to play in the Fiesta Bowl. The first game was in 2007 and if you remember I wrote about that game as being called one or the “greatest college football games ever played” earlier this year on my blog.  The BSU Broncos won that incredible game. They are one heck of a team and I am hopeful that the Broncos will bring home the trophy again.

So feel free to tune in to the Fiesta Bowl tonight on FOX to join us in cheering on our team….we will be here in the comfort of our family room for every second of the game….DSC02124
GO BSU BRONCOS!!!!! 
With Love,
Tina
