In BYU-Provo’s “glory years”, they made a science out of clobbering bad teams and then convincing themselves they could do it to good teams. That’s exactly what they’re doing this year. There’s no stopping that line of thinking – it’s in their DNA.

Meh. Last time we played @CU in horrible weather didn’t turn out so bad, IIRC.

Go Utes!

Old news. One of them was declaring they were 8-0 (due to forfeits) before the first snap of football happened in this country.

Meanwhile, in China…

Jimmer dropped a slightly-misshapen log in the bowl this morning. We’ll have team coverage tonight at 6.

“I bet he knows his way around a wood shop”…is that some kind of slang term for sex that the kids are using these days?

Headline: “Bonar Nails the Beavers”

Oh I get the hate for Taysom Hill. It’s the way the local media treats him. My circle of friends refers to him as “football Jimmer”, in reference to the amount of press he gets. It’s funny too because I don’t even think he’s close to being the best player BYU-Provo has in the NFL. So it’s not his fault, but I totally get the hate.

Welcome to Utah! Really happy for this kid, but honestly, I’m happy for any person who get to leave Fresno and go somewhere else.

Honestly I’m glad to see it working. I’ve always felt that the SEC plays a stupid style of football…their success is just built on the fact that they get the best players. The air raid with SEC recruiting is going to put Leach in the top 10 every year.

I have this suspicion that most people know, deep down, that wearing a mask decreases your probability of catching or spreading coronavirus because intuitively it makes sense. But some choose to ignore that intuition in order to show their manliness, toughness, or as a show of defiance. It’s strange and illogical to me. I just don’t understand how…[Read more]

Agreed. Just put on your mask and stop trying to make a political statement with every waking moment.

It needs to change – that station is a hot mess from top to bottom.

Honestly I’m a little surprised it hasn’t been worse. Football has large rosters (more people with a chance to get infected and more people to spread it to) and they’re populated by kids in their late teens and early 20s, which is a demographic not exactly known for being disciplined about social distancing and mask wearing. Plus we have a low…[Read more]

So very much wrong with that statement.

I think it has more to do with the PAC12 being a collection of research universities. The PAC12 has a higher percentage of tier 1 research universities than any other conference. They’ve known how severe COVID is for a long time, because they’re all doing tons of research on it. The groundswell of research has influenced the PAC12 presidents to be…[Read more]

I don’t know how good or bad Navy is either, but I’m thinking they’re pretty bad. They had a zero contact fall camp. The first quarter of their game with BYU-Provo Campus was literally the first time any of them had hit another human being this year.

“Play football” is a relative term. Is it really football if you’re an independent mid-major playing directional Georgias in an empty stadium?

Given the choice between doing what BYU-Provo Campus is doing (playing an abbreviated high school schedule in the fall) and what Utah is doing (playing a real schedule in the spring), I choose what Utah is…[Read more]

Why does everyone have BYU-Provo scoring 20+ points? Their only decent offensive player is done for the year.

I’m neck deep in it, yeah. Honestly, this is the best thing that could have happened to RSL. The current situation is horrible, and not just from a racism/sexism perspective, but from the perspective of general inability to operate a sports organization.

I think the LHM group would be a great solution, especially if they partner with a…[Read more]

Is there some NCAA rule I didn’t know about that says the music you put on your recruiting/commitment video has to be clipping? I swear, that’s the easiest thing in the sound editing world to not do.

On the football side of things, I’m way excited to see this player!
