BYU vs. CSU

After every home game, the football players are given food which is usually waiting for them as they enter the locker room. The video crew gets some of the food as well. We will go into the locker room and grab enough food for everyone that helps film and then take the food back to the Student Athlete Building where we eat as we make sure the coaches' footage is getting logged. 
Well, there was a minor catastrophe after the CSU game. For the first time (and probably last time) we had Panda Express cater the post-game meal. I LOVE Panda Express. I understand that it isn't authentic, but my American taste buds love it. So I go into the locker room to grab enough food for me and the rest of the crew only to find out that the food wasn't there yet. Heads were absolutely rolling for this one. Making football players wait for food is a sin! No one knew what to do. Players were asking where the food was. We had to give some of them candy bars just to tide them over. When the food finally did arrive, half of the players were gone. They must have had tons of sweet and sour pork left over.
The game went well. I was a little nervous going into this game. We hadn't played a tough opponent for weeks. Sometimes bye weeks can kill your momentum. We came out swinging though and were smart enough to give the ball to Harvey. Anyone else amazed by his consistency? He's just a good person too. Watching some of his behind the scenes interactions with others just really impresses me. He's really down to earth and doesn't let the success get to his head. You can tell he is trying to do the right things and has his head on straight. 
BYU is going to win the conference this year. No doubt.
