Last night, as you may know was the BYU vs. TCU football game. It was a big day because Dan hadn't seen a game in quite some time. BYU has gotten themselves into some big mess with the stupid "Mountain" network. This makes Dan SO angry. And Dan doesn't get too angry about too many things. Since we've moved away from the Beehive State, he has been able to order most of the games on the internet except now it's even hard to do that.
And let me send it out to the universe-No one loves BYU football like Dan. He spends a lot of his free time on this website. It is the fountain of knowledge for all things BYU sports related and sometimes not sports related. You can learn a lot of stuff from Cougarboard.
He will do anything to see or hear the games. Including bootlegging video in ways that are "probably" legal (according to some Cougarboarders).
He wears blue for every game in our living room or office, when he has to watch on the computer.
He was thrilled when I found this BYU baby hat on a trip to our local Dollar Store back in College Station. Pretty random and obviously I had to get it.
I am not exaggerating when I say that he does not sleep well the night before a game. He wakes up early too, to read all the pre-game chatter and stays up late to listen to the bozos who call into the radio station after the game.
In years past his mood for a week was entirely dependent on the outcome of a game. I've since convinced him that he should "be happy on the inside" and not allow outside sources determine how he feels.
This post on Ashley's blog got us talking about our childhood diaries. Mine contained the usual "he likes me...I like him..." stuff and he said without even cracking a smile (because he wasn't joking), "yeah, mine had that stuff too. Actually, I think I really only wrote down BYU football scores."
Like father, like sonI love Dan! I love that he loves BYU football almost as much as he loves me. And I love that we share our wedding anniversary with the Las Vegas bowl. He promises that if BYU is in that game, he won't even watch it until the next day. What a sweetie!
Greater love hath no fan than this. Go Cougars!

I can never forget the football paper "dolls" that both Dan and Jared made. The dolls would play tackle in Sacrament meeting.
HA HA, I've heard about those paper football dolls!!
Too funny! BYU to Dan is like Warcraft to my family.
I have a diary entry that lists the top 100 songs of 1983. that was one lonely New Year's Eve.
I am reading this out-loud to Jared and we are laughing...hysterically. I always tease Jared about the game affecting the rest of his day, but we usually end up with some comment about him not being as big of a fan as Dan.
Dan, sorry to hear that the Mtn snafu is keeping the Coug's biggest fan away from the game. Luckily, the Utah game this weekend will be on CSTV. Go Cougs amigo!!
