Divine Intervention in Football

There’s an ongoing story about a Kansas State fan joining the Church which may be the weirdest thing you’ve heard all week.  It’s weird enough that I feel Joseph Smith and Brigham  Young would approve.

Last week Kansas State football came to BYU.  They were highly ranked and expected to trounce the unranked Cougs.  Instead BYU did the trouncing, 38-9.  With a fair amount of what looked like divine intervention along the way.

It so happens that before the game some Kansas State fan was so confident he said that if the Y won he would get baptized.  He got a lot of joshing after the game which he silenced by saying, ‘nope, I’m meeting with the missionaries and reading the Book of Mormon now.’

All-knowing Cougarboard has been able to verify at least part of his story.

My theory is that this guy was already meeting with the missionaries and the whole thing was just a lark by him, but who knows?

I picture K-State fans in heaven cussing up a storm when this kid made his rash promise and they looked over to see the angels of intervention smirking at them.

One of the few undeniable moments of honest-to-goodness prophecy about the future was about a BYU game.  The ironic thing is that I’m not the hugest BYU fan any more, I still follow their fortunes but mostly don’t watch the games, etc.   I still have no idea at all why I was given prophetic insight into the outcome of a BYU game.  Just one of those things.
