USU Basketball Game

We had a fun opportunity to go to a USU
basketball lately, and sat right behind the Aggie bench it was AWESOME!! Harrison prepared himself for the game by walking around the house that day saying, "AIRBALL, and LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT!" It was pretty funny to watch and listen to him. You gotta start these Aggie fans early....right?

The saying 'Third times the charm' would definitely apply to this game we witnessed something that I am not sure has EVER happened in a college basketball game. During halftime Tai Wesley did his routine warm up and ended with a dunk which SHATTERED the backboard. He quickly walked away from the hoop like a little kid that knew he had just done something wrong, and didn't want daddy (Stew Morrill) to know......the feeling of being in trouble, quickly turned into fun time as he walked over to the student section and flexed his muscles and celebrated his breaking of the backboard, the student section ERUPTED with cheering and praising the strentgh of Tai!
Shortly after the breaking of the backboard, they announced that there would be a 10 minute halftime delay.......bring out the replacement.....which they did, just as it looked like it was game time again, and they were about done with the replacement, the backboard cracked and shattered!! They had screwed it a little too tight! The already restless student section ERUPTED once again, taunting the backboard crew with it's famous well known "STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!" chant, as they pointed the fingers of shame and disgust :)
The announcer came across the spectrum speakers and said that the start of the second half would be delayed further, forget about the 10 minute halftime delay huh?? Finally, I they bring out the third hoop, a portable which thankfully required no work. So what was originally supposed to be a 10 minute halftime delay turned out to be a 50 minute delay.

It was a great second half and the AGGIES WON!! The boys loved the game. One other thing you don't see very often in a college game is the AGGIES scored 100 points!!!
After the game Henry was able to get his picture taken with Rob Flygare who is a radio announcer (he did all of Jeffs high school games) and Brady Jardine, he is a white guy with some WICKED dunking skills :) It was an AWESOME night!!
