BYU vs Utah Football Game

My Grandpa was honored at the BYU vs Utah game this year. For anyone outside of Utah, this is a huge rivalry and one of, if not the, biggest game of the year. Before the game, they gave a brief overview of my Grandpa's military career and honors, then he fired the cannon to start the game. I tried to get them to let me down on the field so I could get some good pictures, but no one would work with me, so I did what I could from the seats. I found a good spot, threw my 70-200 f/2.8L IS in front of my 2x teleconverter and shot from where I was, which unfortunately turned out to be the other side of the stadium. Here are the pictures of my Grandpa on the field firing the cannon, and a few shots from the game itself. This is my Grandma and Grandpa down on the field during the opening festivities.
