We went to the Las Vegas Bowl with Melissa's parents and had a blast. It was great to be in the bowl atmosphere and be surrounded by so many BYU fans. The Cougar's win wasn't pretty, but we'll take it. After BYU had to punt and UCLA immediately drove down the field and set up for the 28 yard field goal we all thought it was over. UCLA's kicker had already nailed a 50 and 52 yarder so we thought for sure he'd hit this one for the win. But suddenly we blocked the kick and all the BYU fans erupted. We were all screaming in disbelief. Tons of fans rushed the field and the UCLA players were just stunned. It was great. About 2/3 of the fans were BYU, but we managed to have a cluster of drunk, rowdy UCLA fans right in front of us. So the victory sure was sweet just to shut them up. We moved down by the field and watched BYU get the trophy and hear Max Hall, Coach Mendenhall, and others say a few words. It was awesome. So here's to next year - most of our good players are returning and we should start the season ranked in the Top 25. Can't wait.
P.S. After the game some BYU fan had a big sign that said Alma 18:27. Hilarious.

We were watching the game at my parents house in California and we thought we were toast to when UCLA went for that final kick. We went crazy when it got blocked too. Like you said, not a pretty win, but we'll take it. That's awesome you guys got to actually go to the bowl game. "yea."
