"I should've gone to the NFL..."

...that's what Bradford was thinking.

Great win for the Cougars!!! BYU's defense was amazing!

crazy colorado weekend

We did a roadtrip to Colorado to cheer on Lance Armstrong in the Leadville Trail 100 and bike on the highest paved road in North America.

We got to Leadville, CO around 1:30AM and slept in the car before the 6:30AM race.

We saw the man up close and personal. Russell even carried on a brief conversation with him... "hey lance, we drove from utah and slept in our car last night...." Lance replied, "Cool, cool. Why didn't you bring any [stinkin'] sun with you..." He smoked us on his bike going up this hill. Enjoy this lame video summing up the race (and yes, that is me trying to run along Lance 1:15 in the video):

Lance inspired us so much that we decided to bike up the highest paved road in North America...

mr. steger

While at a Subway in Ely, MN, my Dad started up a conversation with a stranger and introduced me to Will Steger (he's big time). I shook hands with this famous man. My Dad has skills of spotting famous people (this trait may be in the genes) and sometimes he just spots people that he mistakes for being famous. Dad had his A-game on this day.

maybe when I'm 97 years old...

...I'll get my first hole-in-one. In this riveting video clip, John Pepe looks so comfortable in front of the camera. He's probably a really good story teller too.

stiller's all about the TdF

Check out this hilarious video from before today's stage 4. Then see Ben Stiller's post practice thoughts:



Stiller is to Lance and the Tour de France, as Jack Nicholson is to Kobe and the Lakers. After today, Lance pretty much ties for the yellow jersey after today. boo ya.

it's go time

Tomorrow, the Tour de France begins. You will see Lance riding this beauty of a bike tomorrow as Tour begins in Monaco. For a good TdF tutorial click here.

respect

I have much respect for Bald Mountain. I biked on the highest paved road in Utah. Started at Kamas, UT and biked east for 30 miles to reach the summit. Over 4,000 feet of climbing. I felt like I had some sort of altitude sickness later that night.

i will always smile when...

I hear this song.

Someone showed me this video on youtube a couple weeks ago. We laughed hysterically.... Then I heard it yesterday in the grocery store. It made me smile. I don't think a video like this would go over too well now days.

time to think of our fathers

If you have an extra 7 minutes, here's a great video to remind you of how amazing your father is (warning: you may tear up):

big gulps

the first random 7-Eleven Slurpee Attack of Summer '09 was a success.... Four hours ahead of time, I sent out 40 or so texts and there was a decent turn out.

BYU gets big commit

BYU Football got a big commitment from the #1 QB recruit.

longhorn enthusiast

This guy lives an interesting life. Lance just posted that picture or should I say he just tweeted it. Watching video and viewing pictures from the Tour of Italy, you see "mr. longhorns" all the time. I wonder what his day job is?

recording now...

I am very pleased with my purchase of the Garmin Edge 305. It tracks everything (look at all the numbers...). I biked Big Mountain... about a 2500 foot climb.
