It was junkie tormenting people in the parking lot that made the meal memorable. if you all think I give people a hard time, wait until you meet junkie in person.
Do you blame me the kid had an alarm on his scooter and he was a block from BYU?

Why are we being such a hardass on the USC fan? For heaven's sake, we allow Ute fans here don't we?

At the time, I wanted to get away and do something different. So BYU seemed like a nice option. My mom was not happy with the idea, since my older brother stayed local (SC) and my older sister worked locally. But I wanted out for awhile.

During my senior year, we took an organized visit to the school in what was called "Y Days." That was basically a mini-youth conference, minus all the Churchy stuff.....just the fun stuff....we toured the campus, went skiiing, had dances, etc....we even stayed at the old "Horne's Royal Inn" across from the old taco bell at the entrance to the main campus on Bulldog. It was a blast. One look at the mountains and I was hooked.

Before that year, I hadnt even heard of BYU. I do recall the NC controversy somewhat, but i was in 7th grade and didnt pay much attention to college football controversy.

BYU football was certainly not imposed upon me growing up. And to this day, only my mom cares about BYU football in my immediately family. She has come up to a couple of games (including our win over Cal at home) Growing up, our house was always an SC house, which is not uncommon in SoCal....you go UCLA or SC, DOdgers or Angels, Rams or Raiders, and almost always the Lakers.
Thanks for that. I ask because it's always cool when new converts start rooting for BYU. Tends to piss off some ALUF's.

Well, I didnt tell my whole story.

I left out the part about also taking a recruiting trip to the U campus.

I was really put off by all the smoking and drinking. I could tell the Spirit was not present on that campus and I knew immediately that that place was not for me. Also, it seemed like most of the LDS people I saw there were not as faithful in the Church. That also worried me.

Anyway, Go Cougars! Beat the Pokes!

No worries, Jeff.

Trojans love a good ribbing.

You gotta learn to stay away from the LDS fraternities.
