    Seems our only true advantage left is the pickle juice. Please don't let Texas know about that, SMR.

        My wife was in Provo last week and had to run 9 miles as part of her marathon training and said the altitude kicked her butt, as it's 4,000 feet higher than where we live.

                Yes, she must be the tough looking one in the picture...

                apparently she gave Brigham Young a lot of trouble.

                      Agree. I don't remember the Longhorns wearing altitude masks when they prepared for the Buffalos in Colorado.

                        No, she wasn't a pushover (according to Uncle Ted).
