On a slightly related note: 15 of this year’s Sweet 16 were P5 schools (Gonzaga being the lone exception). Feel free to drop that stat next time fans of low-major schools tell you that P5 only matters in football.

You can’t inject logic into BYU-P fandom. You just can’t. They are just the most weirdly provincial fanbase in existence. It’s an extension of the “the world is against us” culture that permeates the LDS church in Utah (and I say that as one of the flock).

I expect the Patriots will have at least one drive this year of 80+ yards where all of the yards are from penalties.

There’s PI on every pass play. NFL games are about to become 6 hours long and be even more unwatchable than they already are.

I’ve taken a lot of crap for saying that jazz fans are the worst in the NBA. The past few years – and especially the last month – have not done much to change my mind.

Yes I’m sure Rose “retired”.

10 games into next season I predict Jimmer will be back in China and Mitchell will be demanding a trade. And it would serve the BYU-P fans right.

My advice to everyone: Avoid becoming invested in judged sports. It’s bad for your mental health.

And yes, every sport has a referee who judges things. I’m talking about sports where referees don’t just enforce the rules but actually determine the score (sports like gymnastics, figure skating, freestyle skiing, etc.).

Do that and you’ll live a…[Read more]

Do you enjoy any of the so-called minor sports? I know you golf, but any others? Personally, becoming a fan of sports besides the “big 3” has greatly enriched my sports viewing life.

Meh. I guess I’m lucky that I can appreciate the beauty of sport regardless of whether my school’s/city’s/state’s/country’s team is good at it.

Enjoying sports for sports’ sake – try it sometime!

It’s the college basketball postseason equivalent of the Idaho Potato Bowl.

He participated in shootaround today.

I bet you they fire him but agree to pay him the full value of his contract…in exchange for a signed non-disclosure agreement. Gotta keep those skeletons in the closet.

Yeah, you’d think Whit could recruit guys who can get out of bed without hurting themselves. Clearly a failure on the recruiting front.

If he did, it must have been slipping in the shower because the team isn’t practicing this week.

Pace will be along shortly to claim that we’re only #6 due to poor recruiting.

He also tweeted “come at me, n****r boy”.
Sorry but this stuff is indefensible. I can’t believe how many Jazz fans are defending him simply because they don’t like WR.
Regarding WR’s role in this: If I were getting called n****r boy, I’d threaten him, his wife, his mom, and everyone else in his family and feel just fine about it.

Apparently this same fan has been basically stalking WR on social media, calling him all kinds of racial stuff. At least, he was before he deleted his social media accounts like the wuss he is.

If the jazz don’t give this guy a lifetime ban, I think the jazz players and fans need to hold the organization accountable.

I’m glad you mentioned this. With the disparity in how much different schools are paying their players (and yes, I’m being totally serious), it’s hard to compare coaches in an apples-to-apples way.
Is Sean Miller a better coach than LK? When he was paying his players $100k a piece, it sure looked that way. Today I’m not so sure.
Not saying LK is a…[Read more]

Yep, Harlan does nothing. That’s why we went to the Vegas Bowl instead of the Holiday Bowl this past year. 😏

You’re asking the wrong question. Like any organization, it doesn’t particularly matter what the employee’s goals are – what matters is what the employee’s boss’ goals are. So whatever LK thinks success looks like isn’t really relevant. The relevant goals are Harlan’s. So you’d be better off asking what is Harlan’s goal for MBB.
