Gymnastics: Ever since I roomed with two and became friends with many of them, the Aggie Gymnasts have held a special place in my heart. This year my good friend Erica Huelsmann will be returning to the uneven bars after shoulder surgery our freshman year. While this is nerve wracking, it is also exciting and I am way excited to see how our Gymnasts do this year!
Women's Soccer: I've been to a few of these games before and always enjoyed them but now I know some of them, which makes it even more fun. On top of that, as a starter her freshman year is Natalie Norris, cousin to my long time friend Laura Damron. This last Sunday, she scored her first intercolligiate goal and was also the first freshman of the year to score. She is awesome both as a soccer player and an individual and I'm so excited to support her this season.
Football: If you haven't heard, we have a new head coach here at Utah State, Coach Gary Anderson, who I actually lived across the street from when I was 11. Anyway, Coach Anderson hails from the U, from where he brought with him assistant coaches and also recruits. He has enforced a lot more discipline and from what I've seen at scrimmages, it's already looking like a better season than the last two I've seen. This Thursday we have our first game of the year, ironically, against the U of U at Rice Eccles Stadium. While this is intense (and I have little hope of winning) I am very excited to see how the team holds up to them and to get a taste for what will hopefully be the best Aggie Football season in a long, long, long time. Woot!!!
Basketball: This goes without saying. I am ALWAYS excited for Aggie Men's Basketball and we (yes, Dad, we, as if I'm on the team) return to the Spectrum on OCTOBER 30TH for the first exhibition game, which in my eyes begins the season of long waits in line, racing down steep flights of stairs, lots of cheering, booing, chanting, and winning!!! I am even going to attach another video of the Spectrum to give you another taste of our awesome Aggie Basketball.
Others: But before I do that, I feel I should mention a couple more sports. Tonight I went to part of a Women's Volleyball game and it was actually really fun. I would not mind going to more of those games in the future. Also, this year I am finally going to go to an Aggie Hockey game. Although they are not a varsity sport up here (unfortunately), their games are very popularly attended and I hear I've been missing out on a lot of fun times.
So basically, I plan on having a very sports filled year and am very excited about it. So watch this video, get pumped and realize why I love Aggie Athletics. GO AGGIES!!!
:-) and you will have a BLAST! I hope those guys give you some eye candy.
