Rivalry Week 2008!

One of the best aspects of the Utah-BYU rivalry is the proximity of the rivals to each other. It is fun and exciting to be apart of the fun surrounding the annual game between the 2 big local universities. Earlier in the year our Cougar loving neighbors started the pranks with a big "Y" mowed into the lawn (see Zoobie Grass post). It concluded with us spray painting big red block "U's" in their grass.



Not to be outdone the following morning this aberration found it's way to our yard.



The neighbors were not alone in yard decorations this year, however. Earlier in the week we came home to Cougar decorations all over the garage door, front lawn and driveway. There were Cougar paws, blue glitter and a sign on the garage door that said "Cougar fans live here". We naturally assumed it was our neighbors but later discovered it was the handy-work of Diane, Julie and the biggest culprit of them all Lynn.

We quickly gathered the evidence into a planter pot and proceeded to destroy it.





They thought that we would never find out who did it but they received retaliation similar to or neighbors only with more "U's" and paint. We will post pictures soon. We feel that we did them all a huge favor by painting the winning team and two-time BCS Busting Utah Utes logo on their lawns!
