Yeah - he shoots from there!
Our family has totally got caught up in Jimmer-mania. It's been so fun to follow the team and watch him as often as possible. He is a once-in-a-lifetime talent. Wow - he's so good. And he plays for our beloved BYU Cougars!
We've watched him on TV for four years now, but hadn't seen him in person (except for a few games early in his career). He is the college scoring leader this season (at over 28 points per game) and is up for National Player of the Year. And he's right in our own backyard! So, Jordan and Cahlin got tickets for all of us and we went to see their second-to-last home game of the season. We were all so excited and it was fun to be together. Kaitlin, Kendal and Jared were also there -- ten of us all together!
We hadn't been to a home game for a couple of seasons and it's pretty impressive - almost like being at a Utah Jazz game! It's loud and crazy. They have the music pumped up and turn off the lights - then these huge sheets hang down and they project images and clips from games onto them. So impressive! Lots of dancers, cheerleaders, flags, etc. on the floor as they introduce the team. Unfortunately, the team did not do so well. We only had one loss in conference play, and it was to this same team (New Mexico). Not only did we lose, but the other team really whipped us. No excuses, but BYU did lose their second-best player the day before the game and I think not only did they miss him on the floor, but their hearts just weren't in the game. Jimmer had a good game - and scored over 30 points. It was fun to see him.
A few days later, we were lucky enough to have two tickets for their last home game. Tickets have been hard to come by this season - with the games selling out! Kayden and I went and were we ever glad we did. It was such a spectacular game. We beat Wyoming by a lot and scored over 100 points. They won the conference championship and so were presented with the trophy afterwards - and were sporting their new tshirts. Then they cut down the nets. We stayed for the celebration afterwards and it was so fun to be a part of. The Marriott Center was rocking and all the fans were going crazy. It was a day we'll always remember.
