SUU vs Weber State Football

On Saturday night SUU and Weber State played each other at SUU for the playoffs.  This is the furthest that SUU has gone in decades and we had already beaten Weber during the regular season.  It was super exciting and the place was completely sold out!  We went up and had a tailgate party with all of our friends and then sat by them for the game.  Ruben Tongisala, Nale and Oscar Fakahua, Joel Wilson and Lawerence sang the National Anthem.  They were amazing!  In college they had a singing group called Brown Sugar.   It was like they hadn't missed a day, even though it had been over 25 years! 
 This is Ruben's helmet from the 90's.  Oh man did we have fun.  As we pulled up he had Tone Loce playing and then more awesome late 80's early 90's music.  It was so great!  Oscar was on the BBQ grill making some amazing ribs and teriyaki chicken. There was a ton of food.  Best tailgate ever!
  Good friends, Good times!
 Then we went over to get ready for the game.  Candice, Ruben's wife asked Joel to record them signing the National Anthem.  It was funny because he acted like he was making a documentary.  It was great!
 This is them warming up.   With Jen and Candace standing by and Joel recording it all.
 I was looking at a picture that Joel sent me when they started singing so I didn't get it all but here's what I did get.  It was incredible. 
Then the team came out and the game got started.  We ended up losing but it was still so much fun to be there with life long, steadfast friends. 
 I was able to get Thor to come over and take a picture with him. I told him how lucky he was to have the uniform that he does because in 90-91 I had a horribly big costume that was so hard to move in.
 
 I miss getting picture's with the kids who thought I was the bomb!
