I will always remember BYU winning the national championship in 1984. I daresay that was the beginning of my love of college football. I remember my parents taking us to the BYU bookstore to pick out a national championship souvenir after the 1984 season. I don't remember what I picked out but we all remember what Lisa chose. A LaVell Edwards poster. Excellent choice Lisa! :-)
This quote from LaVell Edwards epitomizes why I looked up to him not only as a legendary college football coach but as an example of someone to emulate.
"all that has happened to me in my chosen profession is a mere drop in the bucket compared to the truly important things in my life.
"The testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ that I have, along with my wife and my family, are my most important possessions.” -- LaVell EdwardsLaVell Edwards had his priorities straight. He was a giant on the field and off through his service to the young men he mentored as a coach and to all who knew him or knew of him.
RIP LaVell Edwards!
That's my two cents.
