The Utes Parade

So last week our city came together to celebrate the Utes & their incredible season. They had a parade followed by a ceremony at Washington Square where we heard a few of them speak. There were so many people there...it was awesome! It was just incredilbe energy in the air & a fun way to show our team our support & thanks for a great season!


Even Marilyn Monroe is a Utes Fan! :}

Let the parade begin!

Besides the team themselves, it also included a number of big fans. We always see these guys at the games & tailgate parties

I'm going to assume this may have been family or friends; but, it was fun to see him run over & get hugged by a big group!

Here comes those darn cute cheerleaders!

Especially this one! :} (no, I'm not biased at all!)

What a thrill it's been for Anj to be a part of this whole experience this year!

The marching band, who also represented us in the Inaugurial Parade on Tuesday

Bradon Godfrey (he's a favorite just for getting his pic with our Bradon earlier in the season :})

I thought it was cool that a lot of them were slowing down to give high fives/knuckles, signing autographs, etc...especially with the little kids. Good for them!
The men of the hour, well...the season: Kyle Whittingham, who was given the honor of Coach of the Year, and Brian Johnson, our fearless quarterback
Louie Sakoda, who saved us many times!
"King Louie...You Rock!"
The mass of people heading back to Washington Square
You know I couldn't resist this shot..if only he knew why I thought this was so funny! :}

Have we told you we love our Utes?!! :}
