YES, you did hear correctly!

We are happy to report, that yes, Greg did make the BYU Football team. He tells us it is just unbelievable and like a dream come true. Here is what he reports to us....

He did the tryout on Monday, and then in about 1 hr they had the list posted. He was so excited. They had about 80 tryout for the 10 walkon openings they were holding. He said that they filled out a mountain of paper work, and then had to be back later for the first day of practice. They told him he would get the works; shoes, clothes, pads, helmet, and even a locker. He said the rookies are in a different section that the starters, but he doesn't even care. He told us that Coach Mendenhall came in and chewed them out saying they were nothing yet, and had to EARN their rights. Greg loved every minute of the chewing out. They were told NOT to hurt or injure any of the starters in any of their plays, moves, tackles, etc or they were in BIG trouble.They lift weights MWF at 6am, and then come for actual practice 5 days a week, from 2-6pm Daily. I gently remind him that he also has to go to class and study, to be eligible. The rest....he should tell you about, if you ask him_
