Enjoy Hotel Park City & Ruth’s Chris stay package which includes a $150 dining credit! Call the reservations manager at Hotel Park City, (435) 940-5077 and mention Y’s Guys BYU Super Fan! Advanced booking is required.
BYU Super Fan Nelson Abbott joins Y’s Guys as the show’s second Hotel Park City Ruth's Chris Super Fan of the night, talking about a lifetime built around BYU football and basketball with family and friends.
Nelson shows off his home “BYU room,” stocked with signed footballs from a lifetime of Cougar quarterbacks, and reveals the origin of his most famous tradition: mowing a giant "Y" into his front lawn every August since 2014 to mark the start of fall camp.
The hosts then run Nelson through a round of "Where Were You?", walking through some of the biggest moments in BYU sports history — Jimmer Fredette's takedown of No. 4 San Diego State in 2011, Zach Wilson's breakout performance in the 2018 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, Tanner Mangum's Hail Mary to Mitchell Juergens to beat Boise State in 2015, and Samson Nacua's touchdown against his former Utah teammates in 2021 — plus a bonus question about Tyler Allgeier's legendary strip-and-recovery off Jaren Hall's interception against Arizona State.
Nelson closes out by sharing who he'll be bringing to this year's Notre Dame game — his wife, son, and daughter, plus a returning-missionary nephew he's saving a seat for over an old mission companion — and predicts BYU finishes the season 14-1.
