My only real thought in regards to football at the end of listening to Bronco speak was how amazed I am that we don't get every single LDS kid the we recruit. There is no way I would let my son miss out on the experience of playing football for Bronco & BYU! He is a great football coach and an even better leader & ambassator for BYU.
I've been to 3 Bronco firesides. I've loved every one and have the same sentiment as you. If Bronco were to offer any of my kids a scholarship the ONLY correct answer would be yes.
Two questions for the experienced:
1) Is there a Q&A session?
2) Bronco is scheduled to speak in a Chicago fireside next week, but so are Tom Holmoe and Pres Samuelson. In fact, Pres Samuelson is the featured speaker. Were either in attendance at any of the firesides you attended?
The first one I went to there was a Q&A, but I guess it really wasn't a fireside it was more of a Cougar Club fundraiser in Mesa. However, Bronco said pretty much the same stuff as he does at a fireside. It was awesome!!! It was right after the 6-6 season so the whole Bronco speaking thing wasn't as popular as it is now.
The other times there have been no Q&A. It's like a sacrament meeting without the sacrament-- three or four talks and a musical number. Football isn't mentioned as much as you might think. It is surprising and impressive. I've heard Holmoe speak at one, but I've never heard President Samuelson at one of these.
