Over labor day weekend Brian and I went to the BYU vs U of A game with our friends Ward and Lisa. They flew in on Saturday morning and we had a great day eating out and watching the game without the kids (thanks to grandma Judy). We had a chance to take a little tour of the new campus. The library has been transformed from a the dark dungeon atmosphere to high tech and full of light. Each table had internet access and power for four or more laptops. What happened to the good old computer lab days? The basement had this beautiful wall of windows looking up at the administration building. I use to go down their with one purpose - to sleep between classes. Most of the grass has been removed and their are all of these great landscaped areas between pathways with benches etc. No more stupid little signs, "Cougars don't cut corners". This meant - don't walk on the grass, traitor! The new Joseph Smith building is also gorgeous with an awesome courtyard. So we felt a little ripped off. The last couple of years we were there everything was under construction and stuck in the seventies. At least it made me a little more proud to be a coug - that and we beat Arizona 20-7. Brian wore a U of A hat and a BYU t-shirt that he bought at the bookstore, come on, Pick a Side!

I think Brian should pick a side for sure. I also think he should pick U of A. Then I think he and his family should move back to Tucson so he can more easily support his favorite team.
You make me laugh Heather. Have you not been to BYU in the past 10 years?!? The library has been done FOREVER (actually, right after I left, I think)... but I do share your pain. I spent most my time there following dirt paths along construction sites.
You look great, BTW! :)
Brian was just being a gracious host to his buddy Ward who had to sit and endure the tragic events of the day. You should be honoring him for his service.
Let's be honest, BYU has the better chocolate milk and that's really all that matters.
