My mom happened to be at Home Depot when the ESPN College Game Day bus rolled in. She decided we needed to be on TV so she called and told me to get the boys in their Utah red and bring them down (thinking surely the faces of cute children will get her onscreen). Well, it turned out to be more of a promotional party with radio stations, games, BBQ and giveaways. The radio station announced they were holding a poster contest to win game tix.
That's where our little Christian took home the gold. With Grandpa Jace's help, he stamped his painted feet onto the poster with the words: "Stomp the frogs - go Utes." Nothing too fancy. Must have been his sweet, innocent little face that sold them. To our surprise, he won much more than game tix - VIP backstage tix to the ESPN Game Day filming, breakfast with the crew and 5th row tix to the game. Since he was most excited about the "Bob the Builder" Home Depot hard hat (which he also won), we gave the tix to our uncles who were in heaven! They got to meet Erin Andrews the the whole ESPN broadcast crew and sit across from them during filming.
Then Daddy and Christian hit the big game - to which Christian thought they won! Scoring popcorn, snow cones and a big foam #1 finger was definitely a WIN in his eyes. Just goes to show that any sporting event is a WIN for a kiddo.
Go Utes! Better luck next time...
