We will rock you

So usually I write when I'm emotional, right now I'm emotional. BYU basketball just scored a HUGE win over UNLV 77-73, right here in the Marriott Center. I was in attendance with several friends, some of which decided they were tired and left early.... LAME. The game turned out to be one of the most intense games of basketball I have ever seen. UNLV is by and large our greatest rival/competition when it comes to basketball. Yeah, we'll still rise and shout against the Utes and bring out all our racist rival comments, but they're not much for competition. UNLV though is right up there with us (and New Mexico) in getting nationally ranked and playing with the big dogs. So tonight was a big deal (as it was also our conference-play opener). I just loved being there, jumping and throwing my hands up when Tavernari knocked down his 3s, screaming so loud and hearing the Marriott Center erupt as big plays were made. It was fun also to see Cecil O. Samuelson with his wife (who stayed the entire game) sitting on the front row across the court. It made me a fan again of BYU hoops ^_^
