Dave Schulthess, the sports information director at BYU, spearheaded the idea, and it wasintroducedjointly by the sports information directors from each school. It was originally decided that the Beehive Boot would be an old pioneer boot, a relic symbolic of the state’s past. Football cieats were going to be attached to the sole of the bootto give it gridiron significance. It was goingto be a traveling trophy and wasto be displayed in some public place. It’sa great idea, and ought not to be defaulted away. It will add a great deal of interest to the traditionalrivalries in thestate, and will give the teams something to shootfor after they’ve been eliminated from their respective conference races. Ags Are Clear Choice This year it seems that Utah State is a clear cut winnerof the award,butstill it seems that there must be a formal balloting of somesort. UtahState, BYU, and Utahall play eachother, but WeberState mustbe judged subjectively by its record, since it doesn’t play any of the other schools. Utah State thumped BYU 29-7 and edged Utah 21-17. That almost certainly puts the Aggies ahead of both BYU and Utah. The question as to whether the Ags are better than Weber State was answered somewhatwhen the Ags clobbered Idaho 4213. Idaho was the Big Sky champion and dumped WeberState 24-20 in Ogden. The Aggies finished with an 8-3 record, losing only to number one Nebiaska, San DiegoState, and Wyoming.
