Jimmer Mania


So I'm sure by now everybody at least in Utah knows of this monumental game tomorrow. The last two days there has been tons of media coverage regarding the SDSU/BYU game on Wednesday in the Marriott Center. Today thousands of BYU Students lined up outside of the Marriott Center to even get a wrist band to enter the game. Today Jimmer was on Pardon The Interruption - a highly rated ESPN show and was interviewed by Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon... great interview by the way - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53JF1MfRoqs

I was also driving down the road earlier today and heard him live on the Brian Kenney show on ESPN Radio - apparently Jimmer sets aside 30 minutes each week solely for national media attention. At tomorrows game there will be 24 professional scouts in attendance. If you told me even a month ago that this game would have received this much hype I probably would have bought a lot more tickets to this because they are more than doubling in price. Hoping that BYU doesn't crash and burn in the national spotlight and can really make a push to be the team that a lot of people think they are and should be. Here's to you Jimmer boy!!! Just bought your jersey today.. and will be wearing it at the game tomorrow.
