BYU Lacrosse

My boy plays lacrosse at BYU. I love saying that!  It's pretty cool to know a college athlete and even cooler to have raised one.  Marcus plays defensive middie and the first game of the season was here against U-Dub.  We were so excited.  It was on a school night and the weather was terrible so I was so impressed with the large number of friends who drove into Seattle to cheer Marcus on.  BYU won the game with a score of 23-6 or something crazy like that.  As the game wore on we began cheering for the other team's goalie because he was just taking a beating.  BYU trains at the level of a D1 team but are still considered a club team so they really dominate against most other teams.  They're about halfway through the season now and still undefeated.  

Practice starts at 5am which is early but crazy early for college boys.  I admire their grit.

Marcus's fan club and we were even missing a few for the picture

I'd recognize those quads anywhere!

Randy bought a bunch of BYU fan gear for us to wear but you can't see any of it because we were bundled up.  I can't remember the last time my toes were that cold!

After the game we took lots of pictures and did lots of celebrating before heading over to the team hotel where we fed the team dinner.  We had so much food!  And now I know the next time I cater event how NOT to do it.  I ordered more meat but this place also gave us all the sides that go with the meat so we ended up with enough lettuce, cheese, jalapeños, and salsa to feed 100 people and not 45.  Lesson learned.
