BYU Football: More Than Just Something to Yell at on TV

Everyone who knows anything about me and Justin is aware that he and his whole family are BYU maniacs and I openly make fun of them for it. That's just how we roll. I think we are all satisfied with our position in this situation.

However, on this particular occasion I have to admit that BYU has shown why they are worthy of the rabid fanaticism showered on them by Justin's family (if that is even possible). See, in the past year Justin's nephew, Ben, was diagnosed with Crohn's disease, spent weeks in the hospital and had several surgeries which I'm sure were highly unpleasant due to the nature of the disease. He is 9 years old. So when I heard that this was happening for him even I couldn't make fun of BYU:

Go on, watch the video.

Now go get a tissue because you probably cried. I did. How awesome is that, right?! He got to watch practice and talk to all the players and everything. Apparently they do that every Thursday or something. That's awesome. And Ben deserves it. Not only has he had the roughest year ever, but he is also an amazing kid and a huuuuuuge fan.

So, although I never thought I would say this seriously, Go Cougars! This time I mean it.
