USU Grand Marshals {9.24.11}

USU Men's Basketball Team 1970-71.  My dad's the handsome fella on the back row, far right.

Utah State University's honored the 1970-71 men's basketball team as their Grand Marshals this year during their Homecoming week.  My dad was a manager for the teams during those years so he was able to take part in all the neat festivities, such as dinners, tours, events, etc.  He had such a great time.

At the football game during halftime.

We, his kids and their families, were able to go to a breakfast Saturday morning where they honored the team.  Those teams were pretty amazing and still hold a lot of school records--one of them being scoring an average of 93 points per game.  Yeah...that's a lot of points.

After the yummy breakfast we were sent to a bus that took us to front row seats for the homecoming parade.  So fun and all the kids LOVED it!

Despite the expression--she enjoyed herself.

The homecoming parade was awesome filled with tons of candy throwing.  Tons.  Kaylee's pockets were stuffed to the brim.  I'm pretty sure she ate tootsie rolls for lunch.

3 cheers for the Grand Marshals!

Way to go Lindsay for being the ONLY one ready for the picture with your eyes open!  HA HA HA.

Take 2.

After the parade we went to the bookstore and walked around campus before getting some lunch at the Pizza Pie.  The fountains were a huge hit.

Racing leaves.

When my dad talks about his college years he always talks about being a manager for the team and what a bright spot it was for him so it was fun being able to support him this weekend.  We had a great weekend dad!  Thanks for the fun.  You rock!
