Mike, what's your cousins name, position he plays? I can use some "kudo" with the boss as she is a BYU Alum.
Watch out for hard-core BYU fans. They're nuts.
I'll give you some names to drop, though, we're all hooked up:
1) My cousin is Jordan Atkinson, #43, is BYU's 2nd string linebacker, check out his bio --
http://www.byucougars.com/Profile.jsp?ID=6938"Grandfather, Chick Atkinson, was BYUs head coach from 1949-55 and his father, Dave (1971-73), is still the Cougars record holder for career interceptions (20), interceptions in season (9, tied) and interceptions in a game (3, tied)." So, my great uncle Chick used to coach BYU and Uncle David still holds 3 different records for interceptions. And Jordan is just a junior, so he'll start next year. He does get some good playing time, though, and he's very good.
2) My wife is good friends with the family of Shawn Doman, #42, who is the starting center linebacker. She grew up in the same small town in Oregon.
3) I'm childhood friends with Max Hall's aunt, and my mom is close personal friends with Max Hall's grandmother, Shirley. We used to live a few houses down from the Halls when we lived in Mesa. Now, Max Hall is the star of the team right now, he's the quarter back, #15, and is the nephew of Danny White, former Cowboy's QB. And except for last week's game, Max Hall has done fantastic. He is on the short list for the Heisman Trophy this year.
