Sugar Bowl

We had the opportunity to go to the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans to watch the Utes take on Alabama. We were nervous about the game because Utah was a huge underdog, but the game was amazing! We were so glad we were able to go.

We had to leave at 2:00AM on Jan. 1st to make our flight out of Kansas City. We were all just a little tired....

We had to try the famous "Cafe du Monde" in the French Quarter. The beignets are as good as their reputation (and so is the hot chocolate).

He we are just before the game at the Superdome.



This was the Alabama side of the stadium moments after the game was over. Notice the score!

The players came to celebrate with the fans.

Jeff and his brother, Tom.

The boys made a new friend. Her and Ammon have been keeping in touch since we got home.

I guess they didn't want the fans rushing the field! They were a little more proactive (and intimidating) than when the Utes won the Fiesta Bowl.


The University of Utah football team ended up ranked #2 in the nation after they went 13-0 (including the Sugar Bowl win)!
