First, he said that he has seen the BYU basketball team practice, and that they are the real deal. As advertised. He mentioned a few players in particular, but also said that we are a 12-deep team.

Second, he talked about how BYUTV does specials on alumni from the opposing teams we play, and the very kind letters he has received from their fanbases and faculty thanking us for the spotlight. He read an especially kind letter from a West Virginia faculty member talking about how our football team carried their state flag, etc. Unfortunately, he also said they will be doing a nice spotlight for the Utes 🙁

Third, I learned that KY’s wife is a huge BYU fan, so I’m hoping that means he will stick around forever.

Fourth, President Reese‘s wife is from Holden, and she is delightful, as all people from small town UT are!

Fifth, and most importantly, he kind of sort of admitted to me that he may read CB sometimes:)
