That whole stadium is the visitor’s section.

I get the feeling that BYU-Provo Campus players and fans got a dose of reality last night. I think most of them realize they’re not all their coaches and the media hyped them up to be. I think if Utah scores on their first couple of possessions, they will get demoralized pretty quickly.

^This. Never underestimate the advantage of having played an extra game early in the season. UCLA made huge improvements between game 1 and game 2, like most teams do. They looked quite pedestrian against Hawaii.

The problem with baseball is the pace. It’s 12 seconds of action crammed into 4 hours of coverage. It’s a dying pastime among the young because it doesn’t satisfy our need for constant entertainment.

I understand that baseball is highly strategic, and that’s somewhat compelling as a participant, but a pure strategy game is not necessarily fun to…[Read more]

It’s a good short-term solution for BYU-Provo Campus, but that conference will cease to exist in 2025 when the remnants get pulled into the Big 10 and PAC12. The Big XII is the new Big East. Provo Campus will be independent again within a few years.

At this point, the BYU-Provo Campus game is just another step in the process of building towards conference play. They’re just a G5 team that’s better than Weber but worse than what we see in the PAC12.

A couple thoughts to add to your (very good) thoughts:

– Weber rushed 6 or 7 all night long. The sheer number of bodies was bound to give our patchwork OL some trouble. Of course, the downside of that strategy is that a poised QB like Brewer can just sidestep the pressure and then pick apart the coverage downfield, which is exactly what he did.…[Read more]

“Sellout” does not equal “attendance out”. With a weeknight kick at 5:30, it will be a late-arriving crowd.

I expect they will be fundamentally sound and play clean (good ball security, low penalties) because that’s what good teams at every level do, and they are a good FCS team. But they won’t be able to match up man-for-man against Utah’s physicality, strength, and athleticism.

In other words, they’ll remind you of Utah, but they just won’t do it as…[Read more]

I don’t see the need to apologize, but if you felt like you should…well, it takes a lot of humility and personal strength to say it. Good on ya.

Maybe peoples’ technological challenges extend to proper use of the thumbs up/thumbs down buttons?

BTW, I will gladly take tickets off anyone’s hands if they don’t want to mess around with the digital ticketing system.

Yeah, but then every time he looks like he’s going to get popped, he puts his foot in the ground and makes a filthy cut, the defender grabs an armful of air, and Covey picks up another 20 yards until he’s shoestring tackled on the sideline. That stops me from clinching.

Somebody call a vet because those puppies are SICK!

Somebody better patrol around it. Expect fans of BYU-Provo Campus to try all kinds of shenanigans/tomfoolery/dumbf**kery in the parking lot the night before to keep the team from getting enough sleep.

Uh…Bill Riley tweeted it at the same time.

CU will require a positive drug test.

I don’t. I think they’ll use this alliance as a trial run, to kick the tires on a few schools before expanding in a few years.
