Test of True Loyalty

When I started graduate school, I NEVER thought that BYU would compete against OSU because... what were  the odds?

Ha! Well, once again, never say never. Guess which two schools played in the 2017 NCAA Men's Volleyball Final Championship game? Yup, BYU & OSU. Actually, the two schools went up against each other for the same title last year, but I wasn't here so I didn't know about it. This year, however, since I was in Columbus, and the game was being played at OSU's St. John Arena, I had to go for the game right?

This was my test of true loyalty. Which school should I support? What color do I bleed: blue or red? And the answer is...

Ta-dah! Proud to bleed blue! And I think it's ironic that I finally met Cosmo after I left BYU. 

It was super weird to wear blue in the sea of red, and then it got 10 times worse when BYU lost. BOO! But I still had fun cheering the players on, and it was a nice break from writing. I have to hand it to the players for keeping it in there, even though OSU had major home turf advantage. So even though we lost, good game boys! I'm just surprised that it's not a rule already that schools cannot host their own final championship games. 

That's the BYU team!

Me and a girl from my ward. She was on BYU's swim team, and is a huge fan of the BYU men's volleyball team. It was so helpful to have her explain the game to me, and tell me who each player was. 

And that smirk on the face of the photobomber. 😈👻

I passed this scene on my walk back to my apartment. That is one of the two bridges that crosses over the Olentangy River to get to my campus. Doesn't look like much in the daytime, but it's pretty at night!
