Play composed, or wild?
11/23/2009
I am a former BYU player who is now dishing about everything Cougar related. My credentials are my football career -if that counts for anything-, which includes starting in 30+ games and two top 15 finishes. Enjoy my perspective.
Added you as a fan, feel free to check out my latest article when you get the chance and add me as a fan too.

Hey!
Would you mind checking out my latest article? It talks about the 2009 super sophomores for the Ohio State buckeyes! If you're not a buckeye fan, it's an interesting read and you could extend you're knowledge on college football. Thanks!

Quinn,
You probably grow weary of hearing this, but I really enjoyed watching you play.
It's amazing where you run into Cougars and former Cougars. When I lived in West Palm Beach, Florida, I had the opportunity to play basketball against this little 5'10" missionary in our ward. I'm 6'4".
He destroyed me. He even dunked on me.
Turned out it was running back Freddie Whittingham.
I moved to Pocatello in the late 1980's and became the photographer for the Idaho State University football and basketball programs.
Got to be really good friends with Kyle Whittingham.
I've been wanting to call and congratulate him on his #2 ranking and Sugar Bowl win, but the BYU blue in me just keeps me from picking up the phone.
For now, anyway.
I was also the public address announcer for the Idaho Falls Braves (Rookie League) in 1988, and had the opportunity to meet and befriend former Cougar 2nd baseman Gary Schoonover.
All of you guys are pretty remarkable. Me? I just raised six kids (though two of my kids were severely handicapped. Maybe that counts for something).
Thanks for your outstanding play, and thanks for your service both to God and your church.
I have written a lot of sports stories over the years and a few have been published (the rest have been on team websites, etc.). I would love the opportunity to ask you a few questions and write a story about you, about your time with the Cougars, human interest stuff, etc. It could be in the form of emailed questions or a few minutes on the phone -- whatever you like. You might not think your time on the field was a big deal, but those of us without your special ability would love a "backstage" look at life for a former Cougar.
Let me know. Either way, thanks for entertaining me during your time in Provo. It's much appreciated.

Holy crap I remember watching you play a lil' bit, I saw your name and was like "What Quinn Gooch is a bleacher creature?". Good to see you posting.

I realized the BCS is better than a play-off, and decided it needed to be defended. I'd love your input.

Quinn,
I'm an alum of the Arizona Tucson Mission and covered the Sabino and Sahuaro Canyon (Camino Principale and Fairmount) wards and I believe you grew up on the east bench up the canyon? In any case, if you have time, please read my Bob Stoops/Pete Carroll articles. As a Broncos fan, I'm happy to have Mormon and UofA alum Spencer Larsen in orange and blue as well.
