Only in Provo, maybe?

Leaving the BYU Football game at 9:40 pm - pitch black - we saw a mother in the grass next to the stadium changing her baby's diaper.



Does any other fan base take infants to a college football game? The poor kids get their eardrums blasted out and have to stay up late. Let them sleep! Now, I'm not completely opposed to parents bringing three week old kids to games, I can understand. They probably couldn't find a babysitter or have never left their baby with anyone. BUT, the guy behind me at the game can't understand why people do it. His thoughts? "I would commit suicide before I brought a baby to a football game".  A little extreme - especially since I don't like it when people joke about suicide and killing themselves - but probably a popular opinion.

Apostles and Football

My boy and I went to the BYU vs. Hawaii football game. While we were walking in the parking lot of the stadium we ran into Elder D. Todd Christofferson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.



He stuck out a little - not too many people attend college football games in suits. We were able to shake his hand and he asked Evan what his name was. As we walked away, Evan watched him walk away for a few seconds with a perplexed look on his face. He then asked me: "I thought apostles did, like, important stuff?"

My boy, football is important.
