I decided to lump these together since they didn’t really mean anything.

ANOTHER playoff/rivalry game. This one was settled in DOUBLE overtime. Great game.

Another great playoff/rivalry game. Brighton wins 9-6.

A highly defensive affair with Spanish Fork coming away with a 4-3 win.

Playoff game! These were the two best teams in D-II. Timpanogos won big. Great game.

First round of the playoffs. Bonneville used a big run in the third quarter for the win. Waterford made a game of it late but were unable to capitalize.

Google came out near the beginning of the year and announced that they would be using your page load speed to help (or hurt) with your search placement for you website. Just days ago, Google let Google Analytics users know that you could now see how fast or slow your site is loading in the new version of Google Analytics. The thing they didn’t mention is that you need to add a snippet of code to your existing code in order to take advantage of this feature.

You’ll need to add this to your code:

_trackPageLoadTime();

So your code should look like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
 var _gaq = _gaq || [];
 _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXX-X']);
 _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
 _gaq.push(['_trackPageLoadTime']);

 (function() {
   var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
   ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
   var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
 })();
</script>

By placing this in your Google Analytics code, you’ll enable Google to measure your page load times. The beauty is that they break it down for you to see what pages are loading at what times. This is extremely helpful when analyzing your site. Your home page may be extremely fast but your other pages might be hurting your search rankings because they are slow.

The one caveat to this is that you may be using a plugin to put your analytics code into your site. To the best of my knowledge, most plugins haven’t been updated to incorporate this. You can either wait for the plugins to update or just put the code before your closing head tag in the header.

It’s only fitting that my 50th game would be this one. East beat Highland for the first time EVER!

Always windy whenever I go to Lehi. Timpanogos is a great team this year.

Brighton took an early lead and almost gave it up but won. Always fun to be in the football stadium.
