BYU is now independent and to show there support Mark, his dad and brother Dave all too a rode trip to Mississippi to see them play Ole Miss.  They had an amazing time and enjoyed the great southern hospitality they were shown.  They were invited to enjoy some good southern b-Que at a tail gate party before the game and loved the experience they had.  While at the game they ran into there Uncle Steve and his boys, who live in Iowa, at the game so later they were able to meet up for dinner. They sure enjoyed this little quick trip to the good ole south.  They only thing that would have made it better is if they could have somehow met up with our nephew Aaron who is serving his mission in the Jackson, Mississippi mission but he was just a little to far away.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

It is that time of year again when friends and family gather together for a wonderful day of THANKSGIVING. We all get the eat way to much, laugh and spend the day not doing much of anything except discuss who will win the big football game. No I am not meaning the Dallas Cowboys but the game on Saturday!

VS.

As many of you may already know I am a big Utah Fan along with the majority of my family and have season tickets to cheer them on. Mark is a big BYU fan along with all of his family and has season tickets there. We still do get along and are lucky because we get to see the game at both stadiums. It makes for a fun and even though it may hurt a little when you team does not win. We do have a little thing we do and that is the winner has to take the loser out to dinner. This year we are so excited to have Mark's brother flying in from New Jersey for the game. My the best team win - of course I would say it is the Utes but some may disagree.

Hope each of you have a fun and safe Thanksgiving where ever it may take you and remember that each of us have so much to be grateful for even when things may be tough. Mark and I are so grateful to have so many wonderful friends and family and want to say thanks for all of you.

It's official

The Utes beat the Cougars 48-24.

A special thanks goes out to Max Hall for all the Pre-Christmas presents he sent the Utes way. BCS bound again!

UTAH 11-0 VS BYU 10-1

RICE ECCELS STADIUM

Well it is that time of year again where the rival in the Neuenswander household heats up. The big game is this Saturday against the BYU Cougars and Utah Utes. As many of you know we are a house divided when it comes to who we cheer for.

Mark is a big Cougar fan. He has season tickets to all of the football games and enjoys attending with his parents and bothers and nephews. He thinks that the Cougars will win this year but I on the other hand have a different idea.

My loyalties lie with the Utah Utes and this year they are once again undefeated and in the running for a BCS bowl game. I am lucky to have season tickets there and am able to attend the games with three of my sisters and spouses. The best part about each of us having season tickets is that we are always have tickets to the big game. I am sure it is the Utes year and that they will win and once again head to a BCS bowl game.

We still get along and are still speaking by the end o the week. The winner has to treat the loser to dinner so as to soften the defeat just a little. We have alot of fun with it and both enjoy being at the game together even if we are cheering for the opposit team.

GOUTES!!!
