Cannon Crew!

Every BYU home game, the Army ROTC brings a 75mm cannon to the stadium to a fire a (blank) round every time BYU scores. Check out the George Q. Cannon (it's named after an LDS Apostle):



Also, the Cannon Crew cadets run out and perform push-ups according to however many points BYU has scored.

I was lucky enough to be on the Cannon Crew for this game:



Firing the cannon is something that really riles up the crowd, and they always count along with us when we perform push-ups. Today BYU's opponent was USU. BYU has beaten USU every year since 1993, and this year was no exception...however, USU did put up a good fight and made quite a few interceptions.

Coolest thing of the night...the guest of honor, who fired the George Q. Cannon to open the football game was none other than Senator Orrin Hatch! That's right I got to meet Orrin Hatch!
