The headline at www.espn.com reads "BYU rocks Oregon in Las Vegas Bowl." It was more like an artillery barrage than a stoning. The first quarter was the feeling out and figuring out period. At the beginning of the second, the die had been cast. It started with a field goal and ended with the games MVP diving at the pylon for 6.
The last BYU bowl win came in the 1997 Cotton Bowl against Kansas State. We were in LA, watching it with Jack and Charlene. BYU was ranked #5 then and the game a bit more nail biting. What made this so sweet was the wait and the pain of the last few years. Kudos to Bronco Mendenhall for bringing back the traditions at the Y: the uniforms, the passing game, the bend but done break 3 - 4 defense, and the MWC conference championship.
So all y'all Cougars out there, please join me.
"Rise and shout, the Cougars are out..."
