So much love and respect for BYU @kalanifsitake @Pouha91 and the people of Provo. From the minute we parked, it was “Welcome to Provo,” “Good luck today,” “Go Cats.” People offered us food and drinks from their tailgates. Inside the stadium, same thing even ice cream at 2nd quarter . And their crowd was electric I sat in ADA seating with my father in law and he was wearing his Fifita #1 jersey. People constantly checked on him and treated him with nothing but respect, even when Arizona made a play. They probably thought i was his care giver, lol. Made me think, this is what real competition should look like. Welcome people into your home, treat them with respect and grace, then when the ball is kicked off, try to knock each other’s heads off. We hosted our first league games Sunday , six games from 9AM–7PM. I told our staff: make everyone feel welcome. If someone genuinely can’t pay at the door, let them in. Let them watch their kid. If we want to change the culture at the high school and college level, it starts in youth . And I don’t think it’s a coincidence faith is at the center of BYU’s culture. Jesus welcomed everyone to His table. Compete hard. Cheer loud. Want to win BAD. But still love people. Appreciate the love , Provo.
