BYU Sports

I know it's sometimes hard for people to understand why people follow BYU sports.  For John and I, it has been a way for us to feel a little bit a part of our college kids lives.  It gives us something to talk about, and makes us feel like we are not so far apart.  We are too far away now to drive up there to go to concerts, etc.  Because we moved from 3 1/2 hours away to 24 hours away (and even farther for BYUI), it has been hard to feel connected at times.  Both John and I attended BYU.  My sister, Deena, and I loved BYU sports when we were there.  We were there during the Jim McMahon and Steve Young years and the Danny Ainge years, so we knew how exciting it was to have winning teams and how much fun it was for the students to have that kind of experience.  There is just something about cheering together for a team.  It's been a fun ride with Morgan, Jerry, and Amber.  Now we have memories of Max Hall, Austin Collie, Dennis Pitta, and memories of Jimmer Fredette and company.  We will always have those memories to share with our kids.  Thanks to the BYU teams for the new memories to go along with the "old" ones!

Next up is BYU vs. Texas in Austin next Fall! Right in the middle of Longhorn country.  We will be there in our Cougar blue.  Go Cougars!

Now if we could just get Courtney to like sports . . . any sports . . .
