Elder Nielson

Loved Elder Nielson s talk. I know this is a BYU football forum, but Gifford is a wonderful example of what we want BYU football to be.

He came to our stake conference last year and gave nearly that same talk. I heard 3 different talks from him during the conference and they were each unique, entertaining and inspiring. He is a great one. Glad to have alumni like that.

Ps: I've seen him at 2 of our home games this year, don't know if he's been to all, but he's a fan and supporter as well. A good guy.

I like Mark Atuaia's tweet to the right: "That my friends, is why you go and play ball at BYU. Elder Nielsen--beautifully done! (Exclamation point)

I was going to put something in the Lounge so I'm glad I checked here before doing so. I loved his story of the missionary's shoes. Didn't he quote the scripture about how beautiful upon the mountain are the feet of those who bring the gospel? I didn't look it up so please take it as a paraphrase, but It brought back a powerful memory of one of our converts quoting it to my great companion and I. There is more than one lesson in that story.

Hey maybe that's why he did so well at BYU, the Lord guided the ball into the receivers hands! Seriously, he was the first of a long line of great qbs for Edwards and BYU. Maybe we could say he hasn't switched positions but the team is changed a little.

Keep pitching touchdowns Elder Giff.

My wife and I really enjoyed his talk and his enthusiasm. We look forward to many more.
BTW, he was not the start of the string of great QBs (exclamation point) The start was Gary Sheide, and he deserves credit. His accomplishments are monumental because he was breaking a trail through a football wilderness. Gif was definately great, but so was Sheide!

I thought Nielson played before Sheide

The song goes: We had Sheide, Nielson, Wilson, and McMahon, Young, Bosco, Covey, now Ty's the new man!"

Which leaves the oft forgotten Virgil Carter. But he was before Lavell became head coach.

Wonder how made the Utah and USU fans were watching that great talk.
