Video Gem: Toughest BYU Athlete Ever

I was recently reminded of a classic BYU/Utah football moment:

"Tempers boiled again during the 1999 football game in Provo, and this time it involved a Utah yell leader, Billy Priddis. As he was carrying a large red Utah flag past the BYU student section, one Cougar fan jumped out of the stands and tackled Priddis. Priddis jumped to his feet, tackled the fan, and started throwing punches. By the time security could break it up, Priddis had landed seven or eight punches on the rowdy fan. Watching the altercation from the sideline, Ute Wide Receiver Steve Smith turned to a nearby group of BYU fans and said “even our cheerleaders are kicking your butt.”

However, in the spirit of equality I gotta give props to former Cougar Vai Sikahema for his beatdown of Jose Canseco. Sikahema is 5'9" and 200 lbs while Canseco is 6'4" and 248 lbs.

I there anyway that I can get a copy of this video? I work with Billy and would like to show it to the rest of the office.
