and the football part occurred during the last year of my mission.

The Basketball season had just finished and everyone was going crazy about Ainge, my family included. But there was a buzz on campus and I believe BYU also hosted the NCAA track championships that year IIRC. If not that year then the following.

I still remember watching Hershell Walker finish fourth in the 100m and Ceci Hopps win the 10,000 meters.

BYU also won the Gold natty that year, didn't it?
