I got a text from Quinn asking me if I would write a little bit about 2006’s final drive. Detailing my thougts and feelings on the final drive. I think for the rest of my life whenever it is the BYU vs Utah week I will always be reminded of that game in 2006. Even as I sit here typing, I have above me on a shelf the ball I took the final knee with. I wanted the ball that Johnny caught, but I don’t know if anybody knows where that ball currently resides. I just held on to the next best thing.
Well where do I begin.
“I was up late last night - didn’t’ leave Applebee’s until about 11:30. Thanks to their Direct TV sports package, that has become my hotspot every week for the last few months. Drum roll please….they actually have the Mtn. network!!!! I know, it takes a second to sink in. So anyway, every Saturday afternoon of the college football season has found me at Applebee’s cheering loudly for my Cougs. In fact, when the poor Huskies had their PAT blocked, preserving a Y victory - I was yelling so loud everyone in the restaurant certainly thought I was a lunatic.
There have been quite a number of inquiries as to how John Beck is feeling about his experiences in the NFL thus far. In an answer to these requests I -Markell- interviewed John to find out what the former BYU QB is up to in Miami Florida.
