Well, once again we made it through November! November brings many things to the Whitchurch home - our wedding anniversary, cold weather, Thanksgiving, etc. However, around here it also means football . . and more importantly, the Holy War! The war between good and Utah. This means the beginning of cat fights, snide comments, 8 hours of football every Saturday (thank heaven for bye weeks), I could go on and on.
I grew up going to BYU football games. Every Saturday, BYU football was on TV. Papa Burton has had season tickets for who knows how long and one of the first songs I ever learned was the BYU fight song. Zach on the other hand literally grew up feet from the University of Utah. The Whitchurch Family lives, breathes, and sleeps Utah football. Now that we have a son, our passion for our teams seemed to be escalated even more. We are anxiously awaiting the day when Eli is able to decide for himself which school he will cheer for.

This is what we decided on for Saturday's game. . . and look how happy he looks.
So farewell to the last ‘real’ season of the BYU/Utah rivalry in the Whitchurch abode. Although they will still be playing each other, it won't be quite the same. . .It's probably a good thing!

Don't worry Kate; I'm sure Gavin will point his cousin Eli in the right direction. :)
He looks so cute in that picture!!
well I'm glad that the greater good prevailed in our very last holy war. we're crossing our fingers and hoping Eli wants to be like his Dad as far as team loyalty is concerned. We all love you kate! Don't feel too bad i married into a family of zoobers excet for my husband of course.
Seriously, Kate? I feel like I have a sister in the ward now. I also grew up at Cougar Stadium with my Dad. I get so many snide comments when I wear my Y HAT (its a hat for heavens sake!) any time of the year, I just stopped.
