Goooo Cougars!

Ok - these pics are in reverse order. . . but you will get the feel for the exciting day we had. It was gorgeous weather and the stadium was sold out. 

After the game, we waited for Brock by the locker room. He came out and signed autographs. 


Dad, Mom, Jenni and Me. The last BYU game I was at - where I took a picture like this was September 1990 at the BYU - Miami game and we beat them. This win was just as exciting.

The night before the game we went to the football fireside. All the players sang "We'll Bring the World his Truth." Coach Mendenhall and his wife gave great talks. And one of the players also spoke. They spoke about being disciples of Christ. It was wonderful to hear all of them talk about football in a real-life perspective. They had just lost to TCU. Coach Mendenhall spoke about their QUEST for perfection. He said some peoeple who don't really get what they are about - will think that the quest is over. But it is not. Their quest for perfection is in every aspect of their lives and is about always improving and doing their best. 

I didn't post a picture of it here but the inside of the door to the locker room says "RETURN WITH HONOR" I love this team.
