    Dale Murphy also spoke in the priesthood session once.

      Britton Johnsen made the cover of The New Era once. That's about as high as Utah player can rise, I guess. I'm praying for the day when Kyle will speak in general priesthood.

        Maybe Jake Heaps will speak this conference.

          No, but he might have spoken in the October session.

            Probably about the importance of missions.

              Here, by the way, is Harry Reid's BYU forum address from October 2007:



              In all seriousness, I very strongly disagree with his politics, but I have a lot of respect for Senator Reid. This is a man who has spent his entire life swimming against the stream of expectations to do what he thought was right. He bucked against family trends to get an education, against societal inhibitions to join the LDS church, and against LDS cultural restraints to be a democrat. He has shown a lot of courage in the face of pressures under which others would cave. If you ask me, he's a hero.

                That would be great. Even better, Provo MTC President! He'd be RIGHT NEXT DOOR!

                      I don't know if I'd call him a hero, but he does like to go against the grain, unless that grain is Obama's wishes.

                      The best way to show that one doesn't appreciate Reid is to simply not attend the fireside. It would be worth it to see the look on his face to be in an empty chapel.

                        This approach doesn't work...at least not with Bronco. My absentee protests have done nothing to stem the tide of football firesides.

                          There is a huge difference between the BYU football coach and a Democrat.
