Last night was a lot of fun. Cheyn and I got a babysitter and headed up to the Academy to watch some college basketball. It is something we had been looking forward to for months. BYU basketball has their best team in 30 years, is number 7 in the nation, and has the odds on favorite for the NCAA basketball player of the year.
Air Force's arena was small but nice. It holds about 6000 people. It's a lot like the old BYU field house if you have ever been there. They had great concessions including a place that sold rocky road covered caramel apples. We had seventh row tickets (the closest I've been in a basketball arena). BYU totally beat up on Air Force and it was great to be so close that you could yell at the refs when they were totally wrong on calls and see the frustration and desperation the Air Force players. Jimmer scored 25 points and was out with four minutes to go. There were some awesome threes and dunks by the rest of the team. Final score was 90-52, Air Force's worst home loss ever.
About 40 percent of the fans were BYU fans, and in spite of a loud AF cheering section, BYU fans had a lot to cheer for. Here is some video Cheyn took
We're excited to see what BYU can do in march madness. Go Cougars!!

Even though I should probably cheer for AF (my husband is in the AF) Jimmer is quite the sensation these days...sounds like a fun game!
Those are AWESOME seats!
How fun to see Jimmer in person. Roger just got a mountain staion so he can watch all the BYU games. He is hooked on BYU this year. We will have to have Stan and Mindi come watch the games with us!! looks like you guys are enjoying the Springs. I know it is beautiful there! Give Sammy a big hug for me, he is such a cutie!
