I have AWESOME tickets for BSU. The owner and proprietor at my wife's firm (a big Bronco booster) gave us 4 and let us buy 4 more that he got through with his standing, etc. I have a good friend who's flying in from freaking Texas, with his son (good friend of my youngest boys) to watch the game with us.

It's also our local high school's sr. night in a game that will have a huge affect on their prospects in the state playoffs. I have to miss this.

I want nothing of what's coming to us at Bronco Stadium, but I couldn't be more roped into going, and paying a pretty penny to do so.

Beyond that, someone's going to have to convince that things are going to be different, and in a very good way, before BYU football gets another dime from me.

...and that's all tough talk and bravado of course. I'll drink the Kool-Aid, believe that we'll be better when Taysom's back, and shell out for next year's home opener as always. Ugh.
