Pathetic way to end 2008

I blogged the Utah/Michigan football game and then I didn't blog another Utah football game.... Pathetic, just pathetic, considering it was the best season in Utah football history.  Undefeated season, great games against Oregon State and TCU, killed the Cougars and then destroyed the Crimson Tide in the Sugar Bowl, which I was fortunate to get to.  I will blog about the Sugar Bowl in the next couple of days, as I get back in keeping this up to date.  Below is my attendance at sporting events for 2008, with a total of 26 events.

Utah Jazz - 6
Utah Basketball - 1
Utah Gymnastics - 1
Utah Football - 8
Utah Blaze - 1
MLB Game - 2
Salt Lake Bees - 1
Real SL - 6

See Photos of each here.

Here is to a better 2009, and a more updated blog.

Real SL and their new digs

 Real Salt Lake is having a good season and are on the brink of their first playoff berth.  With 2 games left, they must win both to guarantee a spot, but they are definitely getting better.  They also moved into their new soccer specific stadium, Rio Tinto Stadium.    Very beautiful stadium, and not a bad seat in the house.   The second picture is shot from my seat, which is the cheapest seat available for a Real SL game.

Utah at Michigan, at the Big House

Utah had a HUGE first half! 22 points, over 300 yards and held Michigan to 100 total yards. Then they spent the second half trying to let Michigan win... barely hanging on to win 25-23. Ugly, but it is a win in the Big House.

Detroit Tigers vs KC Royals

Two bad teams,.... and it's baseball, so I will be texting friends and eating lots of cracker jacks. The SportsHoncho is in Detroit for Utah's season opener against Michigan in the 'Big House'. So we decided to see beautiful downtown Detroit and catch a Tigers game. And when I say "beautiful," I mean down-troden and ugly,... but ComericA Park IS beautiful.

Go Utes!

Real SL vs Toronto FC

Pretty cool photo modifications with Picoli (on iPhone), but not as cool as the goal by Olave (long-crossing-header) as I was typing this.

Wife's are finally able to enjoy the game

Bubble-Breaker and Tetris.

Salt Lake Bees with the Kids

Salt Lake Bees versus Oklahoma Redhawks and the kids have been active (whining, crying and asking for stuff), so we... OK my wife, has been unable to enjoy the barn burner, 4 to 12 in the top of the sixth. Bring on the fireworks so we can leave!

This post is my trial run for using my iPhone to blog.
