Just kidding: Summer is my favorite. Followed by *BYU* football.

So it’s a little late in coming, but I wanted to post an update to my previous post.

So remember how last week I was so excited for the football game? Well…that all changed when these dumb frat boys forced their way into the seats behind us. Before the game, I swear, these people got to the point of drunkenness where they ceased drinking the liquor and started bathing in it instead. And, as a bonus, that liquor-bath may have been the only bath they’d had in weeks.

A few minutes after they’d settled in to their stolen seats, THEY STOLE OUR WATER! Right out from under our seats. And then, as soon as they’d finished drinking it, they tossed the empty water bottle back at us.

Shortly after this—it’s still only the first quarter, mind you—they all came down with a serious case of Tourrette’s syndrome, unleashing a string of the ugliest profanities with no apparent target and for no apparent reason. (Interestingly, “BYU-lovin’ Cougar fan” was right up there with the big-time words.) In the middle of their cursing, they’d try hitting on some pretty girls in the crowd, and they couldn’t believe why the ladies were so reluctant to return their advances.

And did I mention they stole our water? And then they threw nacho cheese at us. Such a mess!

Let’s pause for a moment: These things just don’t happen at BYU games! I realize that they probably happen at 95% of the games across the country, but not at the football games I’ve been going to for years. When I think of football season, this is decidedly not what I think of.

Anyway, this story has a somewhat-happy ending. Apparently this is enough of a problem at the U that they have a phone number you can call or text to report disruptive behavior. So we called and security came and kicked the frat boys out! We definitely enjoyed that frat-boy-free fourth quarter.

Needless to say, I’m excited for Saturday and the return to my home stadium to see some live Cougar football.

    Is it bad that this year I’ve decided that I pretty much enjoy watching football more on TV than live in person? There are no frat boys sitting behind you, you get to see all the replays, there is much better weather indoors, etc etc. Maybe I’m a party-pooper, but I’ve decided I like football on my TV.

    Nah, it’s not bad, I do miss the instant replays and the knowing what’s going on off the field that you get on the TV.

    But when you’re not sitting by a bunch of jerks, there is NOTHING like being in the stadium and cheering with the crowd. Especially in a close game…
