Re: Dennis making the rounds

How does everyone conveniently forget to mention that Pitta is the all-time catchingest tight end not just in BYU school history, but in NCAA history!? It's possible that the answer is found in three letters contained in your question. They are B, Y, and U. We don't play in a BCS conference, so our...
