byu love.


"we blew a thirteen point lead with seven minutes to go!"
these are the words that im hearing in the hallway.
im at work right now.
"working."
the byu vs. florida game is also going on right this very minute.
there are 3 minutes and 30 seconds left in the second overtime.
im watching the score update itself online.
but i know before it even updates that byu has scored.
i know this because the whole building erupts in cheers.
the whole tanner building!
"yes!" "ohhh!"
all down the hallway.
"wooooo!"
cheers from downstairs.
the whole building is practically moaning and groaning with its fans.

i love what sports does for people.
unification.

86 to 83. 3 minutes and 12 seconds left.

remember when byu beat oklahoma?
there were people making laps around my neighborhood.
literally, running laps around my neighborhood.
victory laps, maybe?
and fireworks.
and car alarms.
and several spontaneous singings of the fight song.
and a dance party. in the road.
and people werent driving on university,
they were parking.
and honking their horns.
it was a pretty exciting night.

final score: 92, 99. byu.
i love byu.
