Re: BYU Official Statement coming later today

I can't imagine a scenario in which BYU would depart from independence before even giving it an honest try. I think BYU independence is here to stay, whether the Big-12, Pac-12 or anybody else invites us. And to be honest, I think independence for BYU will work better than it does for ND, Army or Na...

Re: Houston Nutt practicing the excuses already

I think coaches all play "the game" in the media, trying to cover for the bad coaching, or justify their loss. That said, I like Nutt, he's a good coach and a decent guy. But this will be a good measuring stick for BYU, if we lose to the worst team in the SEC, we will not get much respect ...

Re: R. Wilson and His Role at TE

I think we must allow for the fact that we kind of had a screwed up QB position last year, and for some strange reason all the receivers, TE included, were dropping passes. In the previous three years we had an established QB who looked for the TE (pitta, Hall's brother in law), so maybe more passes...

Re: BYU-AFA 2009: Refs had an agenda

That was not the first time BYU had run that play. Obviously, the official that made that awful "attempt to deceive" call, knew BYU had that play and had determined ahead of time he was going to make the call he did. My guess is that official works for the "U", and hated Max Hall...

Re: BYU State of the Union

Blame the press, they all want a story, whether there is a story or not, so they ask a lot of dumb questions, and get a lot of dumb answers. I wouldn't blame Holmoe.

Re: Troy Hinds

I don't know anything about Hinds, but if he has any character at all, Wisconsin is NOT the place to go.

Re: Worn Out Sports Talk Show Host Phrases

The one I hate is "going forward." Everybody uses this now (even Bronco). This is used when the future is obviously what they are talking about, but they never use "the future", or "from now on," or "this is what we will do." Are these guys incapable of using ...

Re: Poll: Best Ever Defensive Tackles

At least half of the guys on the list were defensive ends--why are they listed? Buck and Knight were definitely defensive ends, as was Olsen and I think others.

At the end of the 2011 football season...

Who will be happiest? BYU or Utah? Will BYU still be feeling warm and fuzzy about it's independence? Will Utah be basking in the glory of the Pac-12 and all the exposure and money? Here are some possibilities: 1. Both BYU and Utah find they made brilliant decisions and love where they're at. 2. BYU ...
