Away game - Florida State vs Brigham Young

Game day in Utah! Florida State was playing Brigham Young at 5:00pm (MT). Fortunately, we found a TGIFridays that had some TVs and booze. (Frankly, we weren't sure about the availability of alcohol in Mormon Country.) So, we were able to catch some of the Tennessee-Florida game before we headed to the stadium.

The walk from the hotel to the stadium was a strange experience. It was eerie how quiet the BYU tailgate/parking lots were. We are so used to lots of noise, music, etc. and people getting geared up for the game.

As we got closer to the stadium, the activity picked up a bit, but still not to the level we have in Tallahassee.

Behind the stadium is huge "Y" painted on the mountain.

Seminoles heading out of the locker room for the field.

The Nole Guys.
(They were pretty conservative compared to the head-to-toe red and gold glitter they usually sport at home games.)

We heard about this the night before, but didn't believe that a stadium wouldn't sell the Coke products we were used to. Now we know who's behind the caffeine-free Coke products!

Team warming up.

This guy, Matt, aka "Fabio" hasn't missed a game (home or away) since the mid-90's. We usually have a contest to see who spots him first at the away games.

Our gang.

Never fails....Frank is always stopped at least once and asked if he knows he looks like Bobby Bowden.

No explanation necessary!

We went into the game not knowing what team was going to show up. Needless to say, we were really glad the real Noles came to play and then won...in a big way!
