Dear Editor,
In 1990 I sat in Cougar Stadium for the first time and watched Ty Detmer and the BYU Cougars knock off Miami off its lofty perch. That year had some highs and lows but for me it was the standard for BYU football. To a guy that approaches each new season thinking, “THIS is the year!” (Remembering 1984 as if it were just the other day) the last few years have been… less exciting. It is hard to please fans who have become pampered with constant success. Expectations are always high, which can lead to disappointment. So may I say thank you to a team that has played one of the best seasons in BYU history. The hard work and preparation of the players, coaches and staff are evident. It was nice to see a team that talked less with the paper and more by performance. This truly was the year, and despite the hypocrisy of Darth Kramer and his you-don’t-know-the-power-of-the-dark-side “Alliance friends,” BYU still has the opportunity to become the first college football team EVER to win 14 games in one season. I can’t say expectations have been exceeded, but they’ve all been met. Thanks for a great season. K-State is a good team but this year BYU is a Great team. GO GET ‘EM!!!
