I am just about to turn 30. I have a wife and two little girls and live in Saratoga Springs, UT.

I work in printing as an estimator and quality director. I Served a mission in the Australia Brisbane Mission from 1998-2000.

BYU football is pretty much my only hobby/pastime aside from work and hanging out with the fam.

Hardcore Cougar fan since day one pretty much - I lived in Idaho until I was about 15 and we would turn on the TV for the game and turn the sound down so we could turn Paul James up. Have season tickets and always will as long as I'm in Utah and able to get there. Oh, and I haven't worn red clothing for almost 3 years.

CN Baker

I graduated with a Chemical Engineering Degree 17 years ago. Tried living a couple of different places. Ended up in rural Kentucky. Have lived here for 11 years. There aren't a whole lot of cougar fans out this way. One of the guys I work with is a big time Alabama fan - we talk football frequently.

I grew up in a small town in south-central Utah, served in the Puerto Rico-San Jan mission from 1992-1994, came home and reluctantly decided to start school at Snow College (turned out to be a great decision). Met my future wife there, that lasted ten years and we divorced January of this year(her family were all Ute fans). She still believes BYU fans are the minority . Ironic thing is she was the "smart" one in the marriage . Anyway, currently living in Orem, work for a cardiology clinic in Salt Lake City handling collection of insurance claims. Work with all women, which is why I frequent this board so much during the day (both an estrogen escape and way to talk about one of the things I love...not shoes or weight loss plans). No connection to BYU, though I've ran into many BYU greats over the years. I was at an impressionable age when BYU was in their "glory" and it hit me like a mack truck. They were exciting and I was immediately addicted. I graduated from Utah State in 2005, after a long hiatus. I have a BA in Liberal Arts and Sciences. Minored in Sociology. At 35 I still try to stay in reasonable shape and participate as often as I can in b-ball and football. Did not play in high school (the politics was too much). Made Snow football team as safety/WR but scholarships were already committed and had no way to support myself so I had to drop it to continue my job which paid for school. Interests outside of BYU football...music, sports cars and road racing, outdoors stuff like camping, hiking and general recreating.

I am a car salesman at Brent Brown Toyota.

I would go to BYU but I dont want to shave the goat. I have not missed a game (including bowl games), excluding my mission years, since I was 5. Thus the name.

Currently going to UVSC, someday I hope to have an LCSW or MSW.

Go COUGS!!!

I dont post much anymore but I have been on this site for a while and check it everyday.

Why didn't you just go to med school

Actually, I'm starting PA school in June down in Arizona. Right now I'm a Psych major at BYU-I, but only for three more days, which reminds me, I have a final in 38 min. so I'll have to make this quick so I can do some last second cramming.

I have no direct connection to BYU. My dad grew up a big utah fan, went there for school, and was disgusted by it because his professors used any chance they could to attack the church. Ever since then he has been a die hard cougar fan and raised me accordingly .

I'm an instructional designer and media producer, specifically video. I also am a professional carpenter and builder. I recently finished a job as a stage manager for a Video Production company, combining the two or three skills into a fun job.
I love BYU football!! !!! !!!!!
I graduated from the Y back in the McMahon years. I was able to be on the sidelines as a tv production assistant for several seasons, and was occasionally amazed at MaMahon's uncanny ability to avoid the rush and get out of trouble. Being on the sideline where I was able to follow the action by being on the line of scrimmage almost every play was awesome. To this day I am still amazed at the incredible abuse those guys bodies take. Running full tilt at each other and then when about 5 yards apart diving dead into someone else who is running and diving straight at you was always amazing to me. Especially when they would meet helmet to helmet...then pop up and run back to the huddle to go at it again.
I have been an official for football for over 20 years. I have been able ref the BYU scrimmages and the UoU on occasion. (Everyone needs to experience opposition in order to grow. Weakness comes from a lack of opposing force)
It is fun attending the games with other officials that I work with to be able to have someone who sees the game with more understanding eyes than most. Being an official I have probably officiated over 3000 games over my career. I still have a passion for it and spend far too much time on this board.

My little claims to fame are that my Dad was the first wrestling coach of Ricks and I won the BYU intramural checkers championship back in the day. So I even got one of those highly coveted t-shirts.
