utah @ ASU

score: 37-7

there have been a few games in my lifetime that have been absolutely miserable.

i remember boise state, tcu, unlv and cal games in particular 

that i wished we could just forfeit and go home.

luckily, there have been very few of these over my lifetime.

but this was one of those games.

they are miserable and i hope we don't have another like it EVER again.

the positive is we had a bye week and can recoup.

i am feeling fully confident and am excited to play USC again 

and hopefully get some redemption from last year!

anyway.  

dawson and i did make the trip to phoenix and it was very fun.

and very, very hot.

the team stayed at the ritz-carlton which happened to be within walking distance of a mall.

helen, my mom, kylie and i spent quite a bit of time there.

as well as at the pool in the 100 degree heat.

the best part of the trip was seeing all the utah peeps that were either from az or were there for the game.

it's always good to see fellow utes,

especially ones that happen to be great friends!

and we also got to see some fam damily.

my mom's brother patrick and his family live in az and are converted ute fans.

we love seeing them and i'm glad that we can use football as an excuse to see them!
