A special thanks to all who participated in our team's BYU Football Visit last night. We had a really fun, memorable evening together!! The boys were able to take a tour through the Cougar Hall of Fame and also through the upstairs hallways and rooms of the Student Athletic Building that are decked out with historical murals, huge photographic murals, paraphenalia, etc. The baseball team was working out in the weight room last night, and so unfortunately we weren't able to walk through the locker room or the weight room. I can upload pics of them from last year if anyone wants to see them :). The BYU football team did not practice on their regular outdoor practice field last night - but I got a couple of pics of it anyway. Instead, we walked across the street to the beautiful, huge Indoor Practice Facility where we were able to watch the last 20-30 minutes of practice.
Afterward, Mona Weidner handed out white BYU footballs to our boys and they were able to get lots of player signatures on them! We even ran across our very own Bingham Miner, Justin Sorensen, now turned BYU Cougar #18! The boys had fun hanging with him for a minute after practice was over.
It was especially neat to have five BYU players and their wives join us for pizza afterward at the Pizza Factory! Amazing fun!! Austin Collie (WR #9), Max Hall (QB #15), Dennis Pitta (TE #32), Bryce Mahuika (WR #2), Reed White (WR #20), along with their wives (McKinzi, Brooke, Mataya, I don't know Bryce's wife, and Haley). The team really got spoiled with some up close and personal attention from the players! I think our boys all feel that they have a new set of best friends :). I do have to say that this group of BYU players is really sharp, and they are incredible role models for any young boy to have. I'm so glad our team had the chance to meet them and visit with them last night.
And as a souvenir, I found these really fun BYU Football PEZ candy dispensers. What can I say? They were PERFECT! I just couldn't resist getting them for the boys to take home and keep as a fun memento of our night. I gave them to the BYU players too, and they thought they were the coolest thing ever :). Of course - how could they not, with BYU Football written all over them and all :). Thanks team for sharing such a fun night with me!!
