Friends, we had an absolutely fantastic experience being your guests for the game and we can't thank you enough. It feels like a lot of stars aligned and what came about last night was fun and exciting for everyone.

We got the the tailgate area just after it opened. Walking around we had dozens of folks stop and tell us welcome. Some were familiar with us from here, but a lot were just fans saying hi to someone wearing visiting colors. I really liked the rock band playing some fan favorites.

We rolled the dice on tickets and bought them online just after the gates opened which put us on the 5 yard line. Sat next to a great couple whose son was out sick, and they got to talk with my buddy the Alabama priest a lot. We met a guy named Ryan in section our who came over and we talked God and football.

The stadium was electric and I was excited to get to see Coach Sitake in action. Everybody stayed until the end. BYU has a loud and intelligent crowd and they made a difference in a few big plays.

The pregame drone show was almost worth the trip by itself, but the end of the 3rd quarter show blew us away!

Even after the well deserved win folks were friendly and talked to us all the way out and on the bus ride off campus.

Thank you all again for one the best college football experiences one could ever hope to see in person. And to top it off, I got to spend a birthday with some fantastic people.

God bless and I really look forward to following the Cougs the rest of the season.
