I was a missionary in the south in 1984. Got a lot of discussions as a result of BYU football.

My mission president was not a sports fan so we had to get special permission just to watch the Holiday Bowl.

BYU owes me another NC where I can truly celebrate the achievement. It was very difficult to do in the mission field, long before the internet.

The years between 1978 and 1992 are why ute fans hate BYU so much to this day
