Did You?

BYU Men's Volleyball

On Saturday night, we did a couple things we haven't done in a long time. First, we actually paid for a babysitter (we really should do that more often), and second, we went to a BYU Men's Volleyball game. Both were great. Now, even though Nate is a BYU Alum, he's not a big BYU fan. In fact, these days the only reason he'll even set foot on campus is Men's Volleyball. BYU (currently ranked #1) was playing CSU-Northridge (#6), so Nate thought it would be a good game to go to. BYU comfortably won the first two games of the match, making it look like we would be home by 9pm, but Northridge stepped up their game and started playing like a top 10 team in the third game and BYU didn't seem to realize they needed to start playing better until Northridge had won the third game and was ahead in the fourth game. The fourth game was back and forth all the way until the end when BYU hit a bad serve and allowed Northridge ahead, facilitating their win. BYU finally got their act together and quickly won the fifth game to win the match. It was nice to see BYU still win and stay undefeated, but it would have been even better to see them sweep Northridge instead of dragging it out into 5 games.

What's Wrong With This Picture?

It's 4pm (MST) on Sunday, February 3rd. I'm sitting on the couch watching TV and I change the channel to FOX. Nate hangs around for about 15 minutes and disappears for a few minutes and reappears wearing snow gear and states, "I think now is a good time to go shovel the driveway."

Any guesses?

Well, if you thought something along the lines of "that's when the Superbowl started and the man of the house was the least interested" you'd be right. Of course, those who know Nate well already knew that he doesn't really like any sports outside of volleyball. So yes, in our house, I'm the bigger sports fan, although I don't watch much in the way of sports these days.
