BYU does it right, offering us all a great lesson beyond football | Daily Delivery

[@GoPowercat]

I cannot thank you enough for blowing up this Daily Delivery. I certainly don't expect you to return for K-State content but we do have Big 12 topics here. Most of that is at our Big 12 Insiders channel here on KZbin. We do daily Big 12 coverage there with Brien "Big B" Hanley as host. Big B is a former K-State offensive lineman and he's crushing it on that channel as we try to grow it into something special for the entire Big 12. Also, please consider subscribing to our BYU 247 site, Cougar Sports Insider. Thank you again. I will be doing a DD in the near future on how BYU fans supported the fundraiser being driven by Kansas State QB Avery Johnson to help defer the cost of his former high school principal's treatment of Stage 4 metastatic cancer. I have stage 3 metastatic prostate cancer so what Avery is doing hit home for me. Much love, BYU nation.

Many thanks for the kind words. BYU Drumline director here. We try really hard to embrace the spirit of positive and constructive competition. In our marching band pregame sequence, we always play the visiting team’s fight song for any visiting fans that are at the game, of course including K State. Not sure what/if other bands do that, but I know everyone in the stadium tries to do their part to make the game a good one for everyone there. It’s really nice to see that acknowledgment here.

I traveled to attend a BYU Basketball game last year. It was a cold 20 degree night. I was waiting for my friend who had the tickets arrive. I walked around the outdoor concourse freezing.

Interesting commentary. The night of that awful loss, checking in on the youtube post-mortems, I noticed the comments in the vlogs by BYU fans were remarkably positive and generous to the losing team. BTW, I shouldn't have been so surprised, because all of the LDS folks I've ever known have been exceptionally kind people. (Wish we'd elected one president when we had a chance to.)

But he flew all the way from kansas to see this game and i gotta say, he was so great. cheering his team and even when they were down late in the game he was still cheering when they had a good play. Super kind and he said he was impressed with the way BYU took advantage of the mistakes that were made. we managed to get him a cougar tail. his words; "I have never seen a donut this long." it was so cool to see so many k-state fans at the game. I think k-state is going to do great things this year and in years to come. your QB had a bad night but i know he will learn and get better and better each week. He's gonna be a rockstar. We always love interacting with Oposing fans at the games and look forward to seeing K-State fans at LES in the future.

As a BYU fan and one whose family helped start BYU, we deeply honor and respect our Big 12 friends. Athletic competitions are a great opportunity to compete in cheering on our teams while cherishing the fans of the other teams. We all love athletic competitions because these events allow us to take out our frustrations by yelling for our teams. But, at the end of the game, we can unite in our love of the game and of our conference.

[@barefooteric]

I was at the 1996 Cotton Bowl and to this day remember how great the K-State fans were. We (BYU fans) were outnumber about 30-1, but K-State was a class act. After the game, dozens of K-State fans congratulated us in a kind, sincere way. It made an impact on me and I have tried to treat visitors at our stadium the same way. When my daughter was talking about possibly doing grad school at K-State I was all for it. Now she's an alum and was cheering for her Wildcats Saturday night. Thanks for taking the high road!

I was at that game as well, and couldn't speak for three days I had screamed so much.

The K State fans were great despite a really tight game we were lucky to win.

BYU grad and fan here. Just wanted to reach back with a compliment on your sportsmanship and perspective. It’s easy to be upset and disappointed if the game doesn’t turn your direction, and we’ve all been there. A truly wise person can move past that to see good at the same time. We need our emotions, yes, but we don’t need to be ruled by them. And while games can be important, human connection is more important. Thank you for the kind words and your own example of sportsmanship!

[@robertberardy405]

If we win the game but fail as Christians, then we haven't won anything. Sometimes we all need to be reminded of that. Next day at church fellow BYU Alum walked in, looked at me and said, "The Church is true! " We all had a good laugh. Pretty sure HE doesn't care about the football game's score. Except when Parker Kingston is returning a punt. I saw divine intervention there about 3 or 4 times at least.

I was at the Cotton Bowl at the end of the '96 season. It was a bitter disappointment. More than this game because we just got trucked in this one and, in hindsight, I should have seen it coming several weeks away. In Dallas, I thought we were the better team, and were really controlling that game until Chris Canty had his cramping problems. The Cougs literally sliced us apart like a surgeon after that, and I was just shaking my head wondering how it happened. But the Cougar fans I met and talked with were just the way you describe. I didn't hear a single negative or mean comment. It might almost would have been better if I could have disliked those people, but I couldn't. Hats off to them. They seem to have our number.

I was at that game as well, playing tuba in BYU's marching band. That finish with the interception in the end zone to seal it was crazy. That was as exciting of a game as I've seen in my life. I'm sorry for your loss that year... but I was thrilled we won.

TO TIM FITZGERALD: Thank you for the compliments to us. BYU was fortunate to beat a very good team in Kansas State (who had already beaten all their opponents so far this year). I feel quite certain that Kansas State is going to be very lopsided in their victory column with very few defeats if any more in 2024. I think we got lucky in this game, as all the breaks seemed to go our way otherwise the score at the end of the game would have been much closer. I must compliment the sportsmanship of the Kansas State plyers throughout the game. I must tell you hear that I have always liked the color and design of the Kansas State football team uniforms, especially the design on the helmets. I think Kansas State is going to win a lot of games this year.

[@stevephillips7884]

I have never seen a team so dominant as K St was the 1st half. 2 drives the time of possession was almost a quarter, half of the 1st half. The BYU Color man, also a member of the 1986 team said he thought BYU's defense was so tired after that onslaught K St would overwhelm us the 2nd half. I still think they are the best team in the B12 this year. With Utah's QB injured I thought K St was the best in the B 12 before the game.

[@stevephillips7884]

Defense wins games. K St was upset, for good reason, to have to settle for a FG at the end of those amazing time consuming drives. They should take heart. SMU kicked 5 FG in Dallas and lost to BYU 18-15 2 weeks ago. Saturday SMU beat a good TCU 66-42.

College football fan here. I follow several teams and truly enjoy the marching bands and drum lines of various schools. It is nice when good sportsmanship is shown between rivals. Hope it continues. I try to remember that it only takes one act of unsportsmanlike conduct to negatively impact the entire experience.

I'm glad you had a positive experience at BYU. I had 2 children and 2 sons in law attend BYU, but I am a true blue Boise State fan. I am also a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. I have attended several games there and would have to say I was treated probably the worst I have ever been by BYU fans. So it makes me happy to hear you had a positive experience. I love college football and can appreciate a good atmosphere and a great game!

My family and I went to the basketball game at K-State last year in BYU garb and we were treated beyond nicely. Thanks. You have a great school in the Little Apple and we look forward to playing against you for many years to come!

BYU fan here, and a newly made K-State fan by you! Love the message

I'm not even a football fan but this showed up in my feed. It's nice to hear some feel-good news. Thank you.

I also liked how the BYU band faced the K-State fan section before the game and played the K-State fight song for them. They seemed to really appreciate the gesture of sportsmanship.

What a beautiful presentation and so many positive remarks! I've never watched you before but I like your approach and openness with how you are covering K-State football. I am a BYU alumnus who lives in Kansas and when someone asks me which I choose to root for, KState or KU, they are surprised when I say BYU because I grew up in Kansas but went to BYU. You always feel bad when things aren't going your way but it's nice to see someone like you to turn things around and look at the positive. And yes, I still like K-State and KU and sometimes go to their games, but when BYU plays, I'm a 100% cougar fan. Thanks for what you do - you have a good program!

[@sidbiggs8687]

Well said Fitz. Good luck to K state going forward.

I didn’t go to BYU but they are a class program. Always have been.

Thanks for sharing the positive experience.

[@kirkfeller]

Grateful for your trip out here. Always amazing to have a program and fans like Kansas State in Provo. Amazing coach and team.

Couldn't agree more!

I love the drum thing, but we stole it from the Iceland National Soccer team. Feel free to steal it too. It’s fun!

[@LifeofFitz]

Wow. Thanks.

Despite living 20 minutes away from the stadium. This was my first football game in 13 years and it was an amazing experience. Both teams played so hard. Glad you had a good experience.

I am a Cougs fan but K-State is a class act. Good luck for the rest of the year!!
