It was easy to keep up on the Jazz and the NBA while in the Philippines. But college football was another story and by the time my family would write a letter, send it, get mailed overseas and eventually to the small city of Naga, and then it’d sit in the office for a while before an office missionary would get it to us at a zone conference or something.

I remember not hearing about BYU’s win over Utah in 2000 until shortly before I went home the next January.
