This morning (January 4th ) we left our hotel around 5:30 in the morning. Our flight out of San Diego was at 7:30. We went and returned our car and then stood in line for security for an hour. It was so crazy. I guess everybody loves to fly with Northwest because your bags are free. I was shocked with how many Boise State fans we saw in the airport. Once we got to Phoenix the airport was full of Boise State fans. Our rental car that we had was a perfect car for our trip. It was this bright blue mustang. I hate mustangs unless it's the newer convertibles. Ours was not. It matched with our flags and magnets though. We brought our car magnets and flags for our trip. We got beeped at so many times and commented on it. It was fun to have it.
Once we got to Phoenix we went to breakfast because we were not able to check into our hotel. We ate at Denny's . There were so many Boise State fans there as well. I think that half of our hotel was Boise State fans as well.
After breakfast we were pretty tired from getting up so early. Enoch took a nap and I watched some movies on TV. We stayed at another pretty nice hotel. Nothing like our hotel in San Diego but still nice. We really didn't do much in Phoenix before the game. We have decided that there is not much to do in Phoenix if you have only a few hours to do something and no golf clubs. After we ate dinner we headed to the stadium. We got there around 5 PM. The football game started at 6:30. Wow it was amazing to see how many Boise State fans there were. I loved looking over the parking lot and just seeing blue and orange flags on the cars and the blue and orange tents everywhere. So fun.
So this year at the Fiesta Bowl I think that there were twice as many drunk people. I am not sure why people drink so much at games. I want to remember good football games instead of waking up the next day and not remembering half of the football game.
This year we sat in the same section as we did last time but 20 rows closer. They were good seats. It is so fun to watch football games because the noise and also anytime anything good happens everybody around you starts giving each other high fives. Our seats this year as well all had orange flags at them (purple for TCU fans in their seats) and some chips and Salsa. That was so nice. We didn't have to buy any food this year because of that as well the older couple behind us bought us ice cream. It was so nice of them. They were very friendly and we enjoyed talking with them. They were actually headed to San Diego for a trip after the game. They were doing the opposite of us.
I couldn't believe how loud it was this year. So many times the referees and announcers had to stop talking because they couldn't even hear themselves talking on the microphone. Of course this year we won again and so it was amazing. I was really worried before the game. TCU was a good team and was known for their amazing defense. I think that we showed them though because our defense was amazing and of course our offense is fantastic. Going to the football game was just the icing on top for us. It was so awesome. I loved everything about the game. It was not as intense as the last time because the score was not close in the end and we never went to double over time but man was it fun. I love watching football games. Boise State only lost one starting senior this year and so next year they are going to be amazing. Enoch has already told the kids that if they make it to the championship game in Phoenix next year we are all going. We will drive and go and see the Grand Canyon and stuff before the game. I would love that. I think the chances are good of us going.
I loved winning. We won 17-10. It was so nice to once again see them win the trophy. I loved watching all the orange flags as well. There were way more Boise State fans than TCU fans. I loved that it was such a nice upset for TCU. Not many announcers or critics thought that we could win so it was nice to show them just like we did 3 years ago when we played Oklahoma at the Fiesta Bowl.
After the game we got to our hotel close to midnight. We had to watch some TV though well ESPN actually to see what they said. Not much was said because FOX aired the game. We had to be up early again to catch our flight back to San Diego. We were not planning on going to Pheonix at first. We decided after our plane tickets were booked for San Diego to go. So we had to fly back to San Diego to then catch our flight home.
Today was a good day despite not doing much other than the game. I loved just spending time with Enoch and then of course watching once again another amazing football game.
