It was early evening and the snow was sticking to the highway. The road between Laramie and Fort Collins had turned icy. Ralph Zobell, a sports information officer for BYU, was driving when he hit a slick spot and momentarily veered.
Without batting an eye, he turned into the skid, straightened the car, and drove on unperturbed. Crammed into the vehicle were a few media people. We were hustling to get back to Denver after a Cougar game against Wyoming.
Someone had gasped when we hit the slick spot.
“Don’t worry,” I said above the howl of the wind.
