The Big Game - 2007 Holiday Bowl


Four years in a row! A ten (count 'em 10) win season. Ranked as high as #7 in the nation (see Oct 28 rankings). With low expectations, our mighty Sun Devils entered the 2007 campaign unranked, with a new coach, and expected to go 7-5. Alas, our favorite (apologies to Tara & Cosmo fans everywhere) college football team (ranked #11) was scheduled to play the University of Texas football team (ranked #19) in the 2007 Holiday Bowl in San Diego on December 27.

The day arrived and Dad pronounced the day, "ASU Football Day". We all got dressed in our Sparky best, me and Tara in our shiny uniforms, Alden in his brand new #1 uni (bought the night before at a Target clearance sale), and Emmett in his Sparky shirt too. Only Lucky was without, but we will forgive him this year. The game began at 6 and we had Candice & Family and Will & Family over for a BLT and Bowl Game bananza.

Good times were enjoyed by all, except for our beloved football team which proceeded to immediately lose the game. We suffered through 3 quarters (mostly because we were too tired from all the bacon grease) but finally threw in the towel in the fourth quarter. We enjoyed a great year with our ASU Sun Devils and look forward to another great season next Fall.

yeah, too bad about that game - guess the asu colors are close enough to USC colors if you want to watch some winners?!? I'm glad you have lots of school pride, though, Aaron!
