Conveniently the parade began just outside my office. My two coworkers and I went out to take a look about half hour before the parade began. We looked at the cars that would carry the Utes from Temple Square to the City County Building (yes the parade route was a whopping four blocks long - all downhill.) We watched the buses pull up full of football players, the coaching staff and the band members. We realized all to late that we should have brought a football or something of the sorts because we could have collected some autographs. Instead we watched the more clever on-lookers get autographs from the coach who received a lot of recognition this year, the quarterback who led the team to all it's victories, and team members who may not have played a single second in the whole season, but who were just as anxious to celebrate and sign memorabilia. Here are some photos (fortunately my coworker brought his cell to take photos since I forgot my camera.)
The buses pulled up
Players got out(I guess some seniors felt they didn't have to wear their jerseys anymore)
If you brought a UofU item...
...you walked away with an autograph...
...or maybe you opted for a photo with the coach(and a former player/now coach in the background)
Everyone piled into their ride,
be it a car...
...or a truck
We walked away with beads, posters, buttons and collector editions of the newspaper
