Where Were You On That Friday Night When The Aggies Beat The Utes (The Story)!

Hey Hey Hey It's me again, Ya Cousin, Ya Aggiefan, Ya Big Blue, T.J.
Comin' at chu with another post.

Let me set the scene for you:
It was Friday morning again but this was a different Friday. Anticipation and hope were hand in hand all through the campus because everyone knew what was going down that night. As hours passed and classes ended all eyes and hearts were set on Romney Stadium. As for me, I found myself on the sacred grounds (lol) of Merlin Olsen Field earlier that afternoon. It was closer to 4pm when the Aggie fans started to file in for this exciting occasion. This was the calm before the storm.

It was about 20 mins before game time when the U-State helmet was ready to go and the AGGIES were lined up and ready to sprint out on the field to face their rivals (Utah) in the game called "The Battle Of The Brothers" The field was set and the stadium was filled (It was a sold out game 25,513 seats). I looked up at the student section and saw an unbelievable sight. It was an ocean on fire, the Utes fans proudly wore their Red as the Aggie students cooled them down with their Aggie Blue (Which is unlike any other blue ;).

The game was a tough battle. Both the Utes and Aggies gave it everything they got! It ultimately came down to the Aggie defense in Overtime. You see, the Aggies were able to score first thing in over time on a rushing touchdown and a successful extra point field goal! Then it was the Utes turn, every Aggie fan was on the edge of their seat. When it came to 4th down for the Utes (last try) the Aggies were able to put a pause on their conquest to getting a Win! The student section stormed the field! Chants of "I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN" flooded the ears of Romney stadium. The Aggies won the game 27-20 against a tough, tough Utah team. Even Merlin Olsen was smiling down onto his field. The Aggies are still undefeated!

It was a great game and just in case you couldn't be there I attached highlights from the game on ESPN check out the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=o3WWS320akQ
Hopefully this was enough for you to choose USU but if not, next week I got more for U!

As Always Stay True, Stay Blue, & I Luv U!
Be Encouraged! Go Aggies!!!

WEEK NUMBER 1 (WELCOME BACK!! & AGGIE FOOTBALL)

AYO AYO AYO! I'm Baack!
It's Ya MY FRIEND, Ya Aggie, Ya Scotsman comin' right back at chu!

First off let me start off by saying I hope all is well with all of my readers. After a LONG LONG summer off I can officially say I am ready. This past week was the 1st week of the semester. WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL AGGIES!!!
     I want to shout-out all the new freshmen and Good Luck to you on this, your first year at USU (the best kept secret in America! Hands down!) I pretty much spent most of this past week trying to get reacquainted with campus and after a summer break that could take some doing!

     This year I am so excited because there is alot of fun stuff planned for this upcoming year, too much to write about! For example, AGGIE sports, USU Musicals, Campus life, Homecoming 2012, etc. just to name a few. I will try to keep all of you updated on the happenings, sights and sound that is my home, my place, my school: USU!!!

I CALL THIS THE SIGHTS & SOUNDS OF ROMNEY STADIUM!!!
     Lastly, the highlight of my week was the football game against SUU!!! We took those guys out but the thing that really made it exciting was the STUDENT SECTION! I was reminded that USU would be nothing without it's students! (feels free to quote me on that jk lol) This game meant a lot to me because I was able to witness the 1st scotsman cheer of the new year! You should've been there! The student section was packed, the smell of artificial turf hovered over the stadium, the sun was slowly setting trying to find his spot for this USU Aggie Home Opener! Then out came the band into their seats. At about 15:35 on the winding down game clock you could look to the northeast of the stadium and see the USU Aggies rush the field in the new uniforms, U-State U-State, U-State chants from the crowd! I thought  to myself if I were a Senior in high-school I couldn't imagine not going anywhere else other than USU!

   Anyways I'm off, back to my studies I'm trying to kick this semester in the BUM!!! Go AGGIES!
Be Encouraged, I'm On One!
