Show 4 SAYS SHE Even though more than a month has passed since BYUs incredible comeback victory in the Holiday Bowl, I retain some rather vivid memories of that night and the feelings it invoked. radio broadcast of those last tense seconds. Incidentally, the radio broad- cast was far superior to the one on television, we, , ( tion. With my fellow Cougar fans I share the feelings of pride, stunned disbelief and genuine happiness that the experience evoked. And Im glad I wasnt one of those die-har- d V. 22, 1981 . N unfortunate frustrated many who gave up too soon. But something else happened that night. Something that produced additional emotion and pride in that program, or more specifically, the man who administers it - LaVell Edwards. After the game we were on an emotional high. Facing the too excited to sleep syndrome that Cougar fans get on all too rare occasions in post season play, Van and I decided it would be fun to go to the airport and greet the returning warriors. of course, discovered too late to take advantage of turning down the audio por Thursday, Jan. by Michele Bartmess -- I still feel a chill when my friend, Van, plays a taped replay of the WEST VALLEY VIEW At 11 p.m. that seemed like a great idea. At 2 a.m., we agreed that we were probably crazy. But Im glad we went. Not because of any great thrill from seeing the athletes or television news crews. But I saw a side of Edwards that made me proud he was our coach. Glad that a man of his caliber represents the university I so passionately devote my personal al legiance to. Actually what I observed wasnt any really big deal. But it moved me. Here was a man, basking in what must have been his finest hour as a professional. And it had happened in most dramatic fashion. Although the press was on hand to get his thoughts, there was something he wanted to know first. And he simply and politely took care of it. Quietly he asked a family member on hand to greet the entourage, What happened with Jimmys game? Jimmy is Patty and LaVells youngest son, a senior at Provo high and a starting guard on the basketball team. On the night the Y played its Holiday Bowl game, the Bulldogs were in the finals of a preleague basketball tournament at Davis high. e game is important to about 40 people. The players, coaches, some parents and only the most passionate student fan -either a cheerleader or girl friend of an athlete. Not so a college bowl game. But the first thing LaVell Edwards wanted to know was how things were going with his son. A boy who was left behind while the family basked in Californias sunshine. He seemed pleased to discover that not only had the Bulldogs won the game, but also that Jim Edwards performance was one of the key reasons. By now that victory has undoubtedly paled in significance to the unbeaten Provo team. Jim Edwards is a fortunate young man. And not just because his father is a rather famous sportsman. And certainly not only because he is a talented athlete who probably wont have to miss the next Holiday Bowl. Hell play in it. Now anyone who knows anything about prep sports recognizes that a a Jim is fortunate because he has father who really cares about At Cottonwood Invitational him. At a time when the deterioration of the quality of American life is rightfully being blamed for assorted social ills, that is important. When a father cares enough at 3 : 15 a.m. to first inquire about his son and then take care of other duties and welcome the plaudits he so richly deserved that night, he isnt He is everything the religion he embraces and the school he represents wants him to be. Deep down and completely. Surely that same type of concern extends into his professional life. Perhaps that is why many young men whose abilities could take them to some really big name football schools choose to put their potential careers in the hands of LaVell Edwards. He cares about people and what is important to them. The former Granite high mentor has learned how to win at BYU. And anyone who says that winning isnt important isnt playing with a full play-actin- deck. But it appears that winning is in its proper perspective with LaVell Edwards. At a time when sports on the college level is getting more and more black eyes, BYU can feel secure that its program is on the right track. No punter is going to be thumped on the head for a poor performance. On the other hand, a brash young quarterback is going to be allowed to speak out without reprisals, if that is his nature. Boy athletes, enroute to manhood, are being influenced by a man who seems to have his personal life in control. Hopefully one day they too will be wanting to know that all is well with their children, even when their personal stars are rising. This type of influence can do nothing but spread. And when the time comes again that ail is right within the American family collectively, all will be right once more in America.
