While I would normally like to devote a post to something UK sports related, I feel the need this evening to discuss something of much greater import. The world’s largest water balloon fight which was just held at BYU in Provo, Utah, a lovely town nestled against the Wasatch Mountains of Central Utah. 3900 people joined in this event and they threw over 120,000 water balloons. Why does this matter? Well the old record was held by none other than the University of Kentucky, and if you’re like me, you don’t like seeing anyone beat UK at anything. This disgusts me. How did we ever let them sneak up on us and take away a title that has rightly been ours for like at least a year or two?
Well anyway, regardless, our video is way cooler than theirs, well except for the guy that did the flips, but at least we’re allowed to take our shirts off. Anyway here are the two videos, you be the judge. Please no Mormon jokes, I am one, well at least other than my joke about taking shirts off.
One last note. I’ll bet they never rappelled from the third floor in their library.

Dearest Wildcats,
Glad to see BYU already made a buzz! I just wanted to mention that one very unique thing about our fight is that it also doubled as a music video for Kyle Andrews “You Always Make Me Smile.” We teamed up with an Ad Agency in New York (McCann Erickson) who has used Kyle’s song for their Holiday Inn Ad. WE here at the BYU AdLab decided to merge the fight and music video.
So I must agree, between the two videos yours does trump ours. Keep your eyes out for Kyle’s Music Video though, it should be just as epic as the fight.
