Our awesome/kind/generous/etc. friends Leah and Jonny gave us their tickets to the BYU vs. CSU game because they were going away to Mexico for the long weekend. So we spent the afternoon basking in the glory of another sellout crowd and another Cougar win. At one point, after Harvey Unga ran into the endzone for a touchdown, the cameramen got shot of the crowd reaction. Apparently I was front and center for a few seconds. I found out initially because my phone suddenly flooded with texts and Facebook messages from friends telling me they saw me on TV. But even better, when we got home that night we got an email from Jonny and Leah in Mexico who made their family rewind the game so they could take a picture and email it to us. Pretty awesome. Unfortunately Kristie was blocked by the score icon in the bottom right:

She got her own moment in the spotlight after the game, however, when she was invited down onto the field to stunt with some friends, just like the old days. The first picture is of a “cupie” contest (which couple can hold the stunt the longest)…

…and the second is of a gnarly stunt that I can never remember the name of. It might be called “watch-me-make-a-pretzel-out-of-myself-and-point-at-you-while-standing-on-an-ox-of-a-human-being” — but don’t quote me on that.

Tom and Kristie –
I love your blog because who’s cooler than you? These pictures are pretty amazing. Thanks for sharing, and great to know you’re well. Lars and Erik were at that game too! Have a happy Fall <3

Whatever that second stunt is called, I like your name for it more =)
Tom- I haven’t read your blog forever. But, I love reading it when I do. You and Kristie live the best young married couple life – brings back lots of memories of our early years. I meant to razz you about that unmentionable BYU game a few weeks ago, but then the Utes weren’t too hot either, so decided to let it slide :-) Glad to see Utah/Idaho are treating the McConnon boys well!
That’s awesome you made it on TV – and those stunts Kristie are amazing! BTW, we made our blog private. If you would like an invite send us your e-mail address to jmchandler02@msn.com
