I watched that game with my dad and it was amazing- felt like my dad had some magic predictive powers.
I never attended BYU but I am still one of the most die hard fans I know. When I went to West Point our football team was horrendous. It was like punishment watching them lose to teams like Fordham and Yale. But I knew that Saturday at 10 PM I could tune in to watch actual football.
To this day I think I watch maybe one Army game per year (vs Navy). But my wife knows I have 12+ evenings/afternoons per year that I get 100% to myself barring some major event.
