Re: Big 12 lags behind SEC/B1G in attendance; BYU can help

Unfortunately conferences don't seem to give a rip about attendance. Consider all the schools who have gotten the invite from the P5 conferences. Texas A&M: 105,123 Nebraska: 91,249 Missouri: 65,285 BYU:57,141 West Virginia: 56,686 Louisville: 52,972 Rutgers: 50,632 Maryland: 46,981 Utah: 46,437...

Re: Coaches say punishments different if HC violations are k

My wife and I have had this sort of discussion before. It makes perfect sense to me that publicly known indiscretions should be handled differently from private ones, but my wife feels the opposite. Let's get all Book of Mormony. In Alma 39 when Alma the younger is talking to Corianton about the Har...

Re: I get it, we all love Kalani

I loved Bronco. He had his short comings, and things hadn't gone as well as I wanted, but I think saying the program was in a death spiral is going too far. Heaven forbid he be just 3 games above .500 against teams with winning records. Isn't that like saying "He was better than slightly more t...

Re: 2016 Recruiting Class

I don't follow recruiting closely, but can someone tell me something about Mique Juarez taking an official visit to BYU this weekend? Deseret News is reporting he is taking an official visit, but do we actually have a shot with him? It seems like this would be the big recruiting splash that people a...

Re: 2016 Scholarship crunch

I know little about recruiting, but espn has Keaton Torre rated pretty high. Any idea why he was one of the guys with a scholarship pulled?

Re: 2016 BYU Coaching Staff

True, it worked out schematically, but Bronco went to the 3-4 to fit the personnel he could recruit, and the Cougarback guys on the roster just got moved to OLB spots. Scheme-wise, it was new and worked out, but the personnel needs/availability drove that decision. To go to 4-3, it's not as easy to...

Re: 2016 BYU Coaching Staff

The question of 4-3, 3-4 will be interesting, but at the same time Bronco came from a 3-3-5 system, but he ended up changing his system to fit the players that he had, and that worked out pretty well. We'll see what happens here.

Re: Keep the royal...

I agree with Mingjai. I love it when they wear the royal blue, but I would definitely wear less gear. I like it for the special games, principally rivalry games.

On a slightly different note, I hate the black BYU gear. The uniforms aren't too bad, but I hate the black fan apparel.

Re: I'm glad Bronco/Anae are gone

He also dropped a peg or 2 for me by letting Utah wallop us 35 - 0 almost before everyone was in their seats. I don't know if it was his or the teams fault but surely he and his staff could have prepared them better than that! This is not just another game! Come on...Mangum scrambles and fumbles......
