Re: Expanded Tourney

The reason the tourney wants to expand is so the big conferences (the BCS confs) can have more entrants. They already get the lions share of at large bids, and they're going to get even more. I fully believe the Big East will get a tenth or 11th team before the MWC would get a fourth team. [ Post ma...

Re: Kuresa Commits to the Cougars! I'm so excited!

So far, I see a slightly more talented clone of Steven Covey - who has yet to see the field in any meaningful capacity. I just hope he doesn't have his heart set on playing QB because I think he's talented. If he's open to a position change, he could contribute in other ways than just behind center.

Re: Fredette and the NBA

It's not like me to be the pessimist about BYU sports, but I have the bad feeling that Jimmer is going to be the next Travis Hansen/Tarell Lyday (sp?), who were both great but didn't make it in the NBA for whatever reason. For what it's worth, Hansen made a boatload of cash overseas.... And became ...

Re: Who do ya'll like?

I actually had an elders quorum presidency meeting that started right as the 4th qtr was starting last week. The Vikes were losing and I just knew if I went late, we'd be blown out. So I went to the meting, I was grateful - though disappointed - that we came back and pushed it to overtime. We still ...

Re: Collie ranked 26th best in Super Bowl

It should be read as, "now that we've actually seen him play - because we were too lazy to watch any film on him while he was at BYU (and can you really blame us, I mean a white WR from BYU is going to good in the NFL?!) - we've realized that he is extremely quick and a very good NFL wid receiv...

Re: Did Henderson Make Contact?

Did Emery flop? Maybe. Did he embellish? Certainly. Does either of those things matter? Not in the least. The simple fact remains that Henderson took a swing. If Emery simply fell without the swing then Emery deserves to be ridiculed for taking a dive. But he didn't. There is only one person at faul...

Re: What will happen to Henderson!!?

Still an overreaction by Miles. Both that and the Henderson swing are/were inappropriate. I don't remember if Miles apologized, but I hope he did. While both incidents are similar one glaring difference is kicking someone in the back with the bottom of your foot with very little wind up is very diff...

Re: The incident

Emery wasn't called for a technical. He was called for bumping Henderson out of bounds.

Re: Jimmer's foul calls

Fouls called on BYU against the "athletic" teams in the MWC the last few years. Make of it what you will. BYU's biggest disparity at home was +6 against UNLV this year. The biggest disparity on the road was -12 against UNM again this year. In this sample BYU has nine home games. In only fo...
