Football! The High's & Low's

The Best household has always been a sport home! No surprise to anyone there. These days, it seems to be becoming more involved in football.

A few weeks ago, Rich, Spencer, Drew and Gumpy (Bob) headed up to Seattle for the Washington Huskies vs. BYU Cougars game.

Gumpy is a UW alumni, so over the years, he's gotten his grandson's pretty excited about the Huskies. Now Rich, on the other hand has definitely married and adapted well to the Husky family, but still has his BYU history, so the obvious dilemma in whom to cheer for.


So being the ever good son-in-law, he donned his UW coat and headed to the game with the boys. However, we was seen giving a few fist pumps when BYU did well during the game!


As you may know, the Cougars beat UW in a controversial finish by blocking an extra point to win by 1 point. While Rich came out a winner either way, the boys had a fantastic time at the game.

Our ever present observer in Drew learned much about football. The quote of the day came from Drew (as it usually does) when he asked Gumpy, "how come everybody keeps acting so happy", when UW made a first down.

Gumpy enjoyed teaching Drew about both football and the UW. He still can't figure out why the boys would rather play Nintendo than drive down Greek Row?!?!

And now the lows:

Spencer is on the injured reserve! He's loving the game of football and is doing a great job in his first season. Unfortunately, a nagging ankle injury has him watching from the sidelines. He's off until next week nursing the injury.
