Rise and Shout. . . .

the Cougars are OUT!



for the non-college-football-people out there, (Gasp!), last week was kick off week for College Football. College Football is also Alec's favorite pastime, or is that golf? (Alec weighs in: "hmm, tough call") And although Alec follows all the college teams and can talk the talk with any fan of any school - we all know that his blood bleeds TRUE BLUE for the Cougars of BYU!

This year, BYU's kick off game was against Oklahoma and they were playing in Dallas at the Cowboys' Stadium. My good husband, who is a full blown fan, didn't go because he is also a full-time Dad and hubby. He stayed home to support his recovering wife and bond with his littlest one. "We're going to lose anyway." He would say. Oklahoma was ranked number 3 and we were ranked number 20. (Notice the past tense!)

Saturday our dear cougars beat the Big 12 giant 14 to 13!
what a game!
A not to be missed game!
Thank goodness for TV and ESPN.

We are still on cloud nine!



We train them early to know they are Cougars!




O Rise, all loyal Cougars and hurl your challenge to the foe.You will fight, day or night, rain or snow.Loyal, Strong, and True Wear the White and Blue.While we sing, get set to spring.Come on Cougars, it's up to you!
CHORUS:O Rise and Shout, the Cougars are out Along the trail to fame and glory.Rise and shout, our cheers will ring out,As you unfold your vict'ry story.On you go to vanquish the foe For Alma Mater's sons and daughters.As we join in song, in praise of you, our faith is strong.We'll raise our colors high in the blue,And cheer the Cougars of BYU.
