BYU Football: Poinsettia Bowl fitting finale for 2016
BYU football’s season ended with its victory over Wyoming in the Poinsettia Bowl. In many ways, it came together as a perfect ending for this 2016 team.
The bard said that all the world’s a stage. This year’s BYU football team could have hardly asked for a better one than the 2016 Poinsettia Bowl.
This isn’t to say the Cougars couldn’t have played a lot better, or played a better opponent. Or, say, scored 93 points. I wouldn’t complain.
But the way the game unfolded felt nearly scripted. It was scattered with fantastic moments that bear review. Every main character got their moment to shine. It even ended by snatching triumph out of the air when it was hovering dangerously at the edge of reach.
But he’s not bitter

It never rains in San Diego. The commentators made sure we were fully aware of this fact, especially a particularly salty sideline reporter. A lot of people say, “Hey man, try to be a bit more professional.” I say, thank you for the entertainment.
