Going to bed anxious for tomorrow morning where we head out to Colorado Springs!

Friday, October 27th

4:45 a.m.
Woke up for the trip. Should be leaving to pick up Derek around 5:30

5:00 a.m.
Showered and finalizng some the last few things I need packed. Just so excited for this trip. Never have I been east of Utah so this will be a great trip.

5:31 a.m.
Ben sleeping in Part II. Nah not really but Derek did sleep past his alarm but luckily his mom was up to get him awake. Unlike Hansen who we waited for like 30 minutes and then he screwed us over in the end but that's a whole other story. So I just picked up Derek and he is finalizing a few things and we will be on our way

6:11 a.m.
Passed BYU's campus on I-15. I'm psyched!

7:32 a.m.
Stopped in Fillmore to stretch and get a bathroom break. Approaching I-70

8:58 a.m.
Been on I-70 for awhile just stopped in Richfield to get some McDonalds breakfast. I'm probably going to get a Deluxe Breakfast

11:57 a.m.
Arrived at Colorado border. We just took some pics which will be posted later. We had a long boring haul from Fillmore to here. Were going to probably stop in Grand Junction which is 40 miles from here. Denver is about 270. The trek continues.........

12:25 p.m.
In Grand Junction, looking for a place to get gas and couldn't find one for about 10 minutes. Saw some BYU fans in front of us. They had a BYU hitch on their vehicle. Off to Denver now.

4:30 p.m.
Arrived in Denver, saw Invesco Field, Pepsi Center, and Coors Field off of I-25. We are heading to Colorado Springs. There is a ton of traffic.

5:20
Arrived in Colorado Springs and there still was tons of traffic. Listening to BYU fight song, and "Coming to Your City" College Gameday version. Very excited and happy to be here in Colorado Springs, but need to find the hotel.

6:30 p.m.
Finally found the Best Western Hotel off of Chestnut street. All of Colorado Springs is confusing, the streets are just names and its annoying. Also, there is no ESPN and no wireless internet connection so I'm very angry about that. Off to get some food, something we haven't done since Richfield (look at 8:58 a.m.)

7:45 p.m.Found a Applebee's there isn't many restaurants in this Colorado Springs area, its very confusing. I had a Quesadilla Burger which surprisingly was good, along with Mountain Dew, and a side of Mozzarella Sticks. Saw some BYU fans in there as well, one of which had a massive beard. Derek had a Western Burger and surprisingly he put an extra condiment on his burger something he usually doesn't do. Waited a long time for service. The waitress was lame. Saw a Denver Pioneers bball program that said DU vs. BYU on the wall.

8:30 p.m.
Head over to the Academy to see the stadium, and we couldn't due to the heightened security at the entrance. There is only one way into the stadium so we will be coming early tomorrow. Now looking for entertainment.

9:25 p.m.
We found nothing. Colorado Springs is worse than Orem. This place has really nothing, Denver will be much better. Came to find out that the Applebee's we went too was right by our hotel and we didn't know. It was funny. Were desperate to find entertainment but there is like i said nothing. Were back at the hotel here in the lobby typing this due to no wireless internet. This will be it for the night. I will post some stuff for tomorrow.

Saturday, October 28th. GAMEDAY!!!!

6:45 a.m
Woke up. Very excited for the game. Its already fairly warm weather outside projected to be around 62 degrees today. Now getting a shower.

7:21 a.m.
Head down to lobby for free breakfast. It had waffles, bagels, toast, cereal, biscuits 'n gravy and many juices, a decent breakfast for free.

7:56 a.m.
Just checked out of the hotel. Going to head over to the stadium at around 8:30. Due to their only being one entrance into the campus were getting there early. No ESPN so we can't watch Gameday. I will do some updates from Falcon Stadium on the Sidekick in the Gameday thread. Derek looks very tired right now but hes okay. GO COUGARS!!!

It was a great victory over the Falcons and I was very happy.

The rest of SaturdayAfter the game, me and Derek went to Denver and we stayed at a Marriott. Very sweet.
