Congratulations to my alma mater, Brigham Young University, whose Cougar football team blew out the Oregon Ducks 38-8 in the Las Vegas Bowl last night.

This was particularly sweet because the 11-2 Cougars hadn’t had a winning season since 2001 and hadn’t won a bowl game since 1996. That, plus quarterback John Beck, the second leading passer in BYU’s history of great quarterbacks, grew up just a few miles from my home in Mesa, Arizona.
