Utah State vs. Salt Lake Community College


Yesterday Lorin & I took Polly & met up with Laura in Salt Lake for one of Clark's games. It started out really well & wasn't too cold. By the end, the referee's were probably fearing for their life, some of the Aggie fans were getting pretty upset. My favorite was the lady behind us who always had something to say. Also, Lorin's rage, "hey ref...grabbing the jersey, let's rock & roll here!" It was pretty intense. I was happy to get a few shots of Clark, wishing that I had Bill's camera for some better action. Maybe someday. So the final score was either 4-1 or 3-1, USU loss. We will have to check with Clark for the final score, but I was
proud of the Aggies for hanging in there. Lorin commented on the way home that USU is such a good team & he could tell. It was just a bummer that all the calls & cards were against us. Salt Lake was getting away with everything in the book! Not to mention Lorin used to work with a bunch of Brazillians that only cared about soccer. Die-hard fans of Real Salt Lake, they would call in sick to watch a game. He said that's the way this team was & they probably didn't even care about girls or having a social life. Just soccer & getting a scholorship. It was a great game anyway. I love watching live soccer & actually being there. Knowing someone on the team was a bonus, too! When Clark came over after the game it was like we were in the "in" crowd. :) It was fun to see him in action & watch the game with Laura! I'm just glad it didn't start raining. By end end it was freezing!

  1. Thanks for the pictures and the posting. Norda and I had the same experience yesterday watching the Logan Hign game. We don't know many of the rules yet but we still thought the officiating left a little to be desired. It has been fun to watch Clark and Sam this fall.

  2. When Michael was playing for UVSC I went to the game versus SLCC and I remember wishing harm on the refs they were so one sided. Luckily UVSC dominated and no blood was spilled.
