Hello

[BYUTexan]

Just wanted to drop by and say how excited I am for my alma mater and my cougars to be a part of this great conference and for the opportunity to play Iowa State on a regular basis. I'm hoping to make it up to Utah for our game vs your cyclones in November. If anyone would like me to show you around the area or around campus or would like any recommendations. Let me know. I look forward to welcoming y'all to Provo!

Got any restaurant recommendations in Provo? I'll be going to that game too!

 

[AgronAlum]

**** Utah. Go Cougs.

 

[BYUTexan]

Yes! What type of food do you want? My favorite restaurant is a Brazilian churrascaria called Tucanos. It's basically all-you-can-eat meat with an awesome salad bar. The Creamery on Ninth which is on the east side of Campus about a 10 minute walk from the stadium is great for burgers and ice cream/shakes. Hruska's Kolaches has some authentic Texas kolaches if you are looking for breakfast.

In your experience, what is the best way to insult Utah fans?

Because **** Utah

Simply remind them that they are BYU's little brother. LOL

Welcome! I have always enjoyed watching BYU Football (from afar as a neutral) and have randomly seen them in person four times: 1995 @ Fresno State (W), 1997 Cotton Bowl vs. K-State (W), 1999 Motor City Bowl vs. Marshall (L) and 2016 @ Cincinnati (W). I'm thrilled to have the Y in the Big XVI and look forward to seeing the Cougars again when they make their first Big XVI visit to Ames. Not going to Provo this year, but I will make that trek sometime in the future.

Heck yeah! I'm hoping to visit Ames and take in what I'm hearing is the best tailgating in the conference!

 

[NWICY]

Utah acting like they didn't want a life raft made it a easy choice to add you guys as friends and them as the new TX. (New TX is not a compliment)

 

[joefrog]

Welcome friend! So happy to have you in our conference, where you belong. I can only imagine what it was like the last few years. People are in for a real treat when they visit Provo.

Hruska's Kolaches has some authentic Texas kolaches if you are looking for breakfast.

WTF is an "authentic texas kolache"?

I'm not even Czech but on behalf of all the gd Bohemies around CR, I am triggered!

JK!

Cedar Rapids was heavily settled by Czechs, home to the Natl Cz & Slovak Museum. So kolaches are huge here. St Ludmillas has a kolach festival every year, its their annual parish shindig, and they arent even the "Czechist" church in town (St Wenceslaus).

Altho your "texas" kolaches place definitely has a Czech name in Hruska...

Anyway, welcome to the Big12, hoping to get out there to a game, stadium looks beautiful!

 

[BYUTexan]

Oh, I'll add that if you sit in the visitor section for the games, they hand out free BYU Creamery ice cream to the fans of the visiting team.

Central Texas was settled by Czech immigrants and kolaches are a regional and popular food down near the Waco area. The Hruska family are BYU alumni that came from the Waco area and started a kolache shop in Provo. They're pretty good.

I'm not sure this will get the love it absolutely deserves

OP, welcome. Utah is one of my favorite places to visit.

Thank you!

Thanks! Those all sound great! I'm very excited.

If anyone's interested, I found an allegiant flight from Midway(Chicago) direct to Provo for $112 round trip including a carry on. Pretty sweet deal.
