I drove six hours to make it back from Thanksgiving in Idaho in time for the elite eight BYU–UNC game hosted on the Cougars' home turf. I got the best seat in the house: half field, between the two teams. Yep, this play happened right in front of my face.
North Carolina played some of the most phenomenal soccer I've ever seen. It was one of the those games where the undeserving team almost won: BYU missed two gimmes, pretty much their only two real chances of the night. North Carolina, with its six starters who play for national development teams and one who played for New Zealand in the Olympics, out-shot BYU a billion to 10. In the end, the better team won, but it was sad to see the season end, and to miss out on a work trip to San Diego for the final four, where I was hoping to ask Kayla Varner (pictured's) boyfriend, Bryce Harper, to sign the Nationals hat Spence is getting for Christmas. Shucks.
