FSU - BYU Part 2

[MN_Nole]

Again I would like to thank the BYU Fans, friends and Alumni for a great trip to Provo. Finally had the time to upload the photos I took from the game, promise to keep them respectfull as the BYU fans treated me at the game.

View of Lavell Edwards stadium from our parking spot( we paid 5 bucks to park insite of the stadium) This would have been a booster paid lot in Tally( 1000 dollar booster lot). And where BYU fans came up and thanked us for coming, For FSU fans in dealing with Miami gangster fans was a pleasant surprise. Learn on the walk BYU does not like the U of miami fans as well. Hopefully we Seminole fans showed more respect than miami did to be welcomed back.

Opening kick off at Lavell Edwards Stadium

BYU stadium had one of the most impressive views I have ever seen.

The BYU faithfull(no pun intended) filled the stands at game time, Never new the full history of BYU alums and retired numbers(not too mention they were one of the loudest fans at home, have bee to LSU, Clemson, and our own at Doak Campbell, BYU fans had it together all game.)

With the discipline of the BYU defense was not sure how many times this would be seen, but us Noles celebrated a touchdown(was not our last).

Going into the Second, BYU did there best to make a shootout game, they would not go away.

Photobucket is slow in uploading, so..

Bobby Bowden leaving the team locker room after the game, headed to the airport for flight home.

As this was an FSU Sod game, one of the players let me hold a piece of BYU field before the bus retreated to the airport.

Florida States missed PAT early which I thought would haunt us, figured the game to be a shoot out.

Glad you had a good experience. Most people don't realize how big football is in Utah. I only wish BYU could have made it more of a game.

BYU band playing the Forida State fight song before the game, and pre game prayer(was a bit taken aback by the pre game prayer at first, but in todays age, I like to thank them for it.)

The BYU Drumline, before the game getting the crowd fired up. For a bunch of "white boys" they had it all together. Would have wish to see the FSU Big 8 go against. But I am partial, they played hard and sounded great.

I have video oof the drumline if anyone is interested too see and feel it.

As an FSU fan, we like to drink and smoke, so had to hit a few FSU tailgates enroute to stadium.

quick shot of the aptment complex some BYU fans lead us through as a short cut to the stadium. Thought this is it, finally the nasty comes out or they wanted to convert us. Had Neither, they led us along and we so respectfull in wishing us a good time.

Driving into to Provo through Provo Canyon, the falls.

It was a great drive in with all the fall colors, and a truly rememberable trip based upon the BYU fans. I look forward to welcoming the BYU fans/friends and Alumni next year to Tallahasse for the game.

Truly Thank you BYU fans for a wonderfull experience, had the pleasure of meeting some players at Brick oven pizza after the game, and a friend met Hall at a similiar restuarant. Each and everyone was the most pleasant person I have had the pleasure to meet.
BYU fans are what college football is and should be about.
( trust me I have been spit on by miami fans at there stadium, so I have seeen the bad.

I know for myself and everyone I know who flew in for the game, we thought it was going to be a game, most everyone thought shoot out. We thought BYU did not have the speed on defense but had the discipline to make up for it.
Scoreboard aside, I had a great experience in Provo that day, before and after the game. We all look forward to playing BYU again, As I said that game is what college football and its fans should be.
