Yeah, I said that before the Cougars went out and beat Wisconsin at Camp Randall Stadium on Saturday in the biggest win of Kalani Sitake’s coaching career, and … I was wrong. I own it. Not only do I own it, I’m buying it — dinner for two co-workers and their wives at any restaurant of their choosing. Why? Because I also proclaimed that if BYU won this game, which I was sure it wouldn’t, dinner, a very pricey one, was on me.
It stirred a memory of LaVell Edwards, when he was recruiting former Cougar player (and later, coach) Lance Reynolds out of Cottonwood High School some 45 years ago, getting a phone call from Reynolds’ dad, informing him that then-Cal coach Mike White had visited and that Lance was impressed by him.
