Saturday night my folks got Kyle and I out on our first date since we moved into the house. It was great! We headed to one of our favorite nostalgic spots-- the Marriott Center -- to watch the BYU vs. Utah basketball game. Going to the ultimate rival game was certainly a recipe for entertainment, but the players really exceeded my expectations . BYU really took off with a nice lead and I was excited with the prospect of free chocolate cake. If BYU scored at least 80 points, Magleby's would give out free chocolate cake with your game ticket within 48 hours of the game.
Yes, really. You would have thought they consulted me for that great idea.
With about 34 seconds left in the game, BYU had 78 points, and I had almost lost hope. But then Utah's Marshall Henderson got a little physical after a call was made that he was less than thrilled about and not only threw a basketball, but also hit BYU's Jackson Emery in the face. (you can watch it here with the main action happening between 1:05- 1:19)
Marshall was ejected from the game and we got some foul shots. Final score: BYU 82- UTAH 69.
On Monday evening we headed to Magelby's excited to continue to celebrate the win. Instead, we were told they were out of the chocolate cake.
And to think I was almost grateful for Marshall's poor sportsmanship.

I can't believe they didn't give you a rain check. What a crummy place.
well, to their credit, they said they would extend it another day. You know me, it takes a lot to drag me out of the house again...and somehow Tuesday passed me by cakeless. Tragic.
I'm sorry you missed your free cake. =) But it sounds like a very fascinating game -- a great date night... and with free baby-sitting? The cake might have been too much to ask. ;)
No, not free babysitting. We went to the game with my folks. :) Next time though, we'll bring the kids with us. We need to bring these little cougars up right.
Ask Jason about his restaurant experiences. Giving a few comments online got him a call back from a manager letting him know he had a free meal waiting for him the next time he came in...I think it only fair that you try the same thing...you might just get your free cake and eat it too.

Sarah had a good point. It may be worth trying. I'm wondering if Magleby's was really out of cake...Hmmm..that would be a mean thing to do to your chocolate cravers. Sounds like a fun date night nontheless. Go cougars!
