Basketball

It's basketball season once again. Three nights of camping out in below freezing temperatures, and pointless checking in, I went to watch Utah State beat BYU in their first home game of the season. 


The Spectrum is pure magic. The tradition and pride for the Utah State men's basketball team is one of a kind. This year, instead of camping out the night before the BYU game (USU thinks that BYU is our rival, kinda pathet, but I'm okay with disliking BYU) students starting camping out outside the Spectrum Tuesday for the Friday night game. Pretty redic. But that's the loyalty of Utah State fans. 



This is what it looked like outside the Spectrum! Over 1400 students camped out that week to get a seat to watch the Aggies beat BYU! Craziness. Luckily for my group we stayed super warm with tons of sleeping bags and about a foot of blankets on top of us. 
The best part was that the Aggies won 69-62.
