If you know our family, you know we are all Utes fans
But what you may not know, is that Tyler's aunt Jo was inducted into the University of Utah Hall of Fame. How cool is that? How even more cool is it that we were invited to see all the fun celebrations!
Jo used to play softball for the U of U and was even the head coach there before she became the head coach at Texas A & M, where she has been for the last 25ish years. The U of U Chrimson club honored her and some other players/coaches at a ceremony and football game.
She even got a locker room named after her!
We got to go to the award dinner with her where she rubbed shoulders with Lavelle Edwards
And Carson and Colton got to meet Utes players, turned NFL pros, Jordon Gross and Steve Smith. (Honestly, I had no idea who they were, but the boys were excited, so I was too.)
The guest of honor... I feel like I was with a celebrity.
The dinner was delicious, and Tracy was hilarious. She wouldn't try any of the food and used the wrong fork.
Then they presented the awards with short video introduction.
The next day our whole family got to go on a tour of the football center.
This was Steve Smith's locker, which is now named after him.
Brynn was showing off her muscles in the weight room.
Then we got to watch the game from the viewing room. They were the closest seats in the house.
The kids said hi to Swoop.
Jo and Karen got to present the Occie Evans Award (named after Tyler's great grandpa)
And then at half time they presented Jo with the award.
Unfortunately the Utes loss, but Tyler and the kids got to pretend to be Kyle Whittingham and pretend to be interviewed after the game.
Congrats Jo! What a great accomplishment!
