Without Austen, being at the game tomorrow will be bitter sweet for our family!
BYU is hosting our family for the ECU game, which we are really grateful for. Because of all the sports our boys play/played (Tackle football & year round club basketball) we haven't gone to a BYU football game since BYU played at UNLV in 2009 (when Austen was 2). Austen kept asking when we would be able to go to a BYU football game (as we have made some basketball games), and I always said "next year." Then when BYU was scheduled to play at UNLV I promised him we would go to that game, but then the game got postponed. We are very excited, humbled & thankful to be going to the ECU game, but also saddened because Austen would be the one most excited to go.

BYU sent our family a care package soon after Austen passed away which my wife finally pulled out of the closet (as it was just too difficult for her to look at) for our trip and posted some pictures on Austen's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Inlovingmemoryofausten?fref=photo

I can't imagine another University and fan base doing more for anyone than what BYU Nation has done for our family! Thank you!

P.S. If you see us at the game tonight, feel free to come up to us and say, "Hi."
