BYU Football

Ever since Brandan student taught at Highland High School in Pocatello during Taysom Hill's senior year, he was been a big fan of the BYU quarterback.  Though Dash has a tendency to dislike any team Brandan favors (should we worry about his teenage years?), our whole family has become BYU supporters.  So early on in the college football season, right as the talk about Taysom Hill being nominated for Heisman reached its peak, we decided to look over Brand's Middle School football schedule and pick a BYU game we could attend.  We bought our tickets and wrote our plans on the calendar.  That same week Hill broke his leg.  Two weeks later, BYU's star running back blew out his knee.  The game day forecast was dismal, but determined not to be fair weather fans (literally and figuratively), we loaded up and headed to Provo, the car ringing with enthusiastic cheers and chants, mostly coming from Sis who really likes to yell.

Despite the freezing temperatures and wind, we lasted until half way through the 4th quarter.  BYU was up by 20 points, but we still had to promise Dash we would detour behind the team on our way out in order to pry him away from the game.

The boys didn't get to see their heroes play in person, but they did enjoy admiring their larger than life mural.
