More punts than completions

 Hi Jacob,

I’m going to start my letter with this from the Deseret News:

A Pac-12 official confirmed to the Deseret News that Utah would be in the Pac-12 championship game vs. USC if all four of these results happen:

• Utah (8-3, 6-2 Pac-12) wins at Colorado (1-10, 1-7 Pac-12)
• Oregon State (8-3, 5-3 Pac-12) wins at home vs. Oregon (9-2, 7-1 Pac-12)
• Washington (9-2, 6-2 Pac-12) wins at Washington State (7-4, 4-4 Pac-12)
• UCLA (8-3, 5-3 Pac-12) wins at Cal (4-7, 2-6 Pac-12)

That’s not completely unthinkable. After last night’s game, this is all we have left. Defense played fine, but Rising could not get his game going. I hoped it was going to be a comeback like the usc game, but it was a bust like the Florida game.

BYU is riding high because the became bowl eligible against Utah Tech. So pathetic.

I’m still fighting my cold. I’m now pretty sure it’s not a cold but a sinus infection. I need to call the doctor in the morning, I’m really tired of feeling this way. 

Speaking of feeling, how are you doing? You had a cold, and your new medicine. I don’t assume your meds have cured your condition this fast, but hopefully they haven’t had any adverse effects either. Keep us posted please.

Thursday night mom had her school’s culture night, and Joey worked, so Ben and I went to in and out for dinner. Mom came home really happy because it went super well. Your mom is a rockstar Jacob, she really is, I’m really proud of her.

Friday Joey and I got haircuts, so there’s that. Mom and I went shopping for thanksgiving. I love this time of year. I’m excited about our small gathering with my sisters, not even the kids are coming, halla-freaking-lullia. So far nobody has mentioned a turkey bowl, but it won’t surprise me if mom or grandma bring it up.

Saturday was quite, for a refreshing change. Mom made us breakfast and then went to brunch with her girlfriends. All I really did was straighten out the garage a little. If you had a super sharp eye you’d notice a small work bench cleared up and slightly less cluttered, a really sharp eye. We met Joe and Artie and aunt Patti at the sandy crown burger. It’s obviously lost it’s magic, we should try Hires next week. Of course, we could probably beat Colorado by going to Applebees for lunch.

My cousins the cooks came over for the game, and the bergs. Honestly, it was a tough game to watch, and it ended super late. So I slept pretty late this morning. Church was okay. A returned missionary spoke, he gave a really great talk. Of course it made me feel excited to follow you on your talks. The high council talk was pretty boring, almost like he hadn’t prepared. I went home for Sunday school because of my cough was bad…lie…because I could use my cough as an excuse not to go to to Sunday school.

We had roast beef and mashed potatoes for dinner. Mom didn’t even make veg or salad. Or desert. We’re now her watching a movie about dreams. It’s actually not bad.

The Jets had more punts than Zach Wilson had completions. His coach called their offense “BULL S****”. Ha!

That’s about all I have today Jacob, sorry for the short letter.

Love you,

Pops
