Believe it or not, Farside and I still talk on occasion.  He has invited me to a few BYU games and even - gasp - a play.  Dead serious, his wife bailed or something last minute and he called.  I actually probably would've gone if I didn't already have other plans.  The dude is a good mix of Babe (minus the crazy), OneBrow (minus the Brow), and Archie Moses (minus the wooget).  I like him.  It doesn't hurt that his name is Dave, which automatically makes you 99% awesome, and he's a big time Coug fan.
I wish he'd come back and post here.  He's still around some BYU forums at least.
