You want Bill

A couple of my coworkers have asked me how I let my husband get away with dragging me up to Logan all winter to watch basketball. My response... we are Aggies, true Aggies. But when that didn't satisfy them (probably because they have no understanding of what it means to be a part of the BEST crowd in the nation), I decided to dedicate my entire post to answering their question. The answer is simple... YOU WANT BILL! I'll explain in a minute.

Ok so there are a few other reasons why I continue to tell my husband that hell will surely freeze over if he doesn't buy season tickets again (he's threatened each time we have a kid, something about money and priorities of feeding them blah blah blah). Reasons such as:

• Tai Wesley is a hottie (so was Shaun Daniels)
  
• Winning Team, Losing Team chant
• Our parents would go through Pearl withdrawals if they didn't get to see her twice a week for four months
  
• STEW!!!!!!!!!!!
  
• Jaycee Carroll becoming the all-time leading scorer in USU history - ok so we almost missed the shot and I've never been able to let that one down... if we're even nearing late I just drop Jeff off and go park the car myself
• We like to drive to the frozen tundra, aka Logan, as much as possible - we'll be the only ones who buy a winter home up there when we're old!
• We get to visit all of our favorite eateries that SLC doesn't have - still can't figure out why we can't get an Old Grist Mill down here! Much, much better than Great Harvest.
  
• The "Ice Man" Chaz Spicer
• The Spectrum ROCKS
  
• You get the point by now, right?

Of course watching Jeff jump around, scream, ring the cow bell, curse, and have more fun than anything else he does, seriously he is happiest in his Aggie blue sitting in section V watching his beloved Aggies, is also a reason I go to the games. After all, he tells me that we do in fact still "date" it's just crammed into four months of the year (ironically in the freezing cold). But despite knowing that the only way to make winter (and probably life for that matter) bearable for my hubby is to go to all the games, the real reason I go and I'm pretty sure half the crowd at the Spectrum goes, is Bill. If you're a sports fan at all, I'm sure you've heard about Wild Shirtless Bill the crazed Aggie fan on ESPN and many, many sports networks/blogs/websites. He dresses up in a different costume every game. The best part besides seeing a big fat guy taunting the other team, is that he hates basketball! He is hilarious and even the old farts in Cache Valley look forward to the next game just to see what Bill's come up with. Now if you've been living in the dark ages or never enjoyed a trip to the craziest, loudest, and most dedicated court in the country take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with Bill... browse his website, join his Facebook group, watch this video (cupid outfit), and this video. Or read comments responding to some prude's editorial about Bill and how he's pushed the limits too far - to which I say go back to your cats you crazy cat lady and probably closet BYU fan, and leave glorious college basketball alone!

And with that you'll come to terms that you too want Bill!
