How 'bout dem Cougars!!!

I would just like to say that BYU and Jimmer Fredette are AWESOME! They had a huge game last night against #4 in the nation, undefeated San Diego St. So BYU was needing a boost, and Jimmer gave them one. He scored 15 straight points. He ended the first half with 20. He didn't slow down in the second half, finishing with 43 points. I was a little worried when they were down by one at the break. Jimmer was the only one who was scoring any points. It turns out that he was the only one who needed to be. Here are some "fast facts" from themtn.com:

Fast Facts

• Jimmer Fredette, the nation's leading scorer, had 43 points on 14-of-24 shooting, including 5 of 8 from 3-point range.

• Fredette topped 40 points for the second straight game and the third time in his last four games.

• The rest of BYU scored 28 points on 11-of-32 shooting.

• Kawhi Leonard led SDSU with 22 points and 15 rebounds, but the Aztecs shot just 35.5 percent from the field.

Here is a link to the highlight video, along with the recap. http://www.themtn.tv/01/26/11/MBK-Fredettes-43-boosts-BYU-past-SDSU-im/landing_byu.html?blockID=398670&feedID=2968

Once again BYU is awesome!

My name is Tammy Finch, and I approve this message. Go Cougars!!!

OK, now it's my turn. The Finch's last 3 months

Since my mom didn't want to post, you will have to listen to me, Adam. I am going to give you a lecture about what has been going on in our lives for the past three months. First there was Thanksgiving. We spent the holiday with our friends the Jensens. My dad baked about a dozen pies, so he was pretty busy the day before the holiday. On Thanksgiving me, my dad, and Brother Jensen went to the Turkey Bowl. We had a great time, and luckily did not experience any injuries. Then we enjoyed a delicious thanksgiving dinner. On Friday the girls plus Ben and Jake went to see Tangled with the Jensen girls. I stayed home and watched a lot of football. The final day we were there, we went to Monkey Joes. It is a inflatable slide playground. We had a great time there.

Later in December (I know it's a big jump forward, but nothing really happened from Thanksgiving till now) we went to a BYU basketball game, against Creighton, in Omaha. It was a lot of fun, and we even got to go down on the court and meet the players. But there was about 5,000 BYU alumni there as well, so we never got very close. I did get Jimmer Fredette to wave at me, though.

Sorry about the bad pictures. We didn't really have any good ones of the BYU game. That is all I am going to post today, so you will have to wait another day to hear about Christmas
