My first really big BYU memory was the Young-Stinnett-Young pass that won the Holiday Bowl. I also remember the tipped pass ending to the Orange Bowl which won the championship for Miami. I also remember thinking how cool it would be if BYU could someday be national champions. The next year they were.

My ten year old has been to the past two Las Vegas Bowl, and watches religiously BYU football. He remembers names of QBs impressively.
While watching every minute of the recent UCLA, which my son recently inquired why I referred to them as fUCLA, he inquired, "Dad, Max Hall was QB against this same team last year right? And Beck was QB when we destroyed the Ducks, right?"
"Right, son."
So not every boy of ten has the IQ of a yankee. If I were a yankee fan, I'd commit suicide too.
