A couple of years ago when it was announced that the University of Utah would be joining the PAC 12, I jumped for joy. But only because it meant that I would get to go to an occasional basketball game when the University of Arizona was in town. Well, last night, my beloved Wildcats blew into town and pounded the Utes. Soundly.
I can be Ute fan. And generally, they're the team we cheer for in our house. Except when they're playing Arizona. But then we have this boy. And he is a RABID Utah fan. Even when they play Arizona. I tried explaining to him that when it comes to basketball, you ALWAYS cheer for Arizona; otherwise you're going to be disappointed. He wasn't buying it.
The boy in his Ute gear, and me, in the WINNING team's gear.
Dominating at the freethrow line.
Feeling a bit dejected.
The final score. And THAT'S how you Bear Down.
The boy is learning a valuable lesson about sports at an early age. Have you done your best to divert his attention away from the Jazz? ...talk about never ending dejection.
