Made it back to Colorado last night…barely. Flight out of Burbank delayed 3 hours and had 10 minutes for the connecting flight.
After running to another terminal and barely making it to the back of a Southwest flight, I ended up sitting next to a young guy from LA visiting a friend in Colorado. After confirming I was a Utah fan he told me he grew up, went to high school and was still friends with Micah Bernard. Said he is a really nice guy. Said Bernard always dreamed of going to USC (like most football players in LA) but obviously loves Utah!
He also knew Clark Phillips, played pop Warner with him too but different high schools. Talked about the game and the spectacular plays both those guys had.
I thought it was really fun and coincidental to end up next to him on a flight to Colorado Springs with zero Utah fans but me and my daughter. Great way to end the trip!
