2006 was my first season following the team. My first game I watched was 05 Vegas Bowl tho. So 3/4 first games I watched were losses…

Listened to @gregwrubell call that game with my dad. We had dial up Internet still I think.

My earliest BYU memory is the loss at Stanford in 2004. Even with the loss I became hooked.

Freshman year, 2004. Wasn't a sports guy, but my older brother took me to every game. Terrible year. Became a fan anyway. #brotherlylove

Pretty sure it was 1st game day 1996 vs #14Texas A&M. We came back from down a few TD's at half. '96 was a fun season-solidified my fandom

Watching Luuuuke Staley run down the side line against Utah!

Whole family was Y fans but I never could rep the Y. I thought it was embarrassing… then I went to the 4th & 18 game. Never looked back!

Watching the way ute fans acted as a kid in the 80's helped me choose to cheer for BYU. I wanted nothing to do with those clowns.
