I'll buy one and wear it proudly as long as he keeps improving like he did after the bye week.

So now instead of lumping heaps supporters is a category such as "heaps worshipers" or whatever name we had been given, i would like to propose categorizing those mindless hippies and sheep as "heaps peeps"

I'd wear that shirt even if he doesn't improve. I have been a Heaps supporter since he was given the starting job. that does not stop me from pointing out when he is not playing well. You guys probably don't remember but I was very vocal about Max hall when he was fixating on pitta and collie in 2008. I also got flamed for my comments about him. It has nothing to do with whether I think he has the talent to get it done, it has to do with making an observation about his play. When it improves, I comment on that too.

So you don't think Heaps is going to improve this week, Jonny?

Tell ya what, you buy the shirt and I will pm you my address so you can send it to me. I have no problem wearing a BYU shirt. I have no problem telling ute fans errrr BYU haters that I would rather root for a 4-5 BYU team over an 8-1 ute team every day of the week and twice on sunday.

Or stays AFTER practice. Which he is apparently doing now, for the first time, for the last 7 months. ;)

I don't get why people are so upset that Heaps might be working harder. Wouldn't that be a good thing? Isn't that something you want to see in a freshman QB???



My only explanation is that some people believe that Heaps was/is so gifted that he doesn't need to work hard. Insinuating that he might be working harder is an insult???



If he's working harder great, if he's not, he won't be as great as he could have been. That should be true for the entire team, shouldn't it?

It isn't the fact that Heaps may be working hard now that rubs wrong, it is the insuation that he did not work hard previously that is the issue. It is bunk. The kid has stayed late after practice to throw with his receivers since Spring. Worked all summer and did in Fall camp as well, and into the season.



Now if you want to get after him for not flipping enough monster tires--fine--have fun withthat. But I'd rather hear about him working on routes and timing than extra time carrying cement balls, flipping tires and doing squats in season.

Never have I even insinuated that Heaps has not worked outside of "normal" practice hours. Other CC posters (maybe Craig O who tracks who said what better than I do could tell us who said it), did insinuate that during summer there was some flap about Heaps not being there "as much" as some expected in the summer. I recall a comment about him being out of town at some point when others were in town.



I do know from a very reliable source, that there has been conflict in the team due to perceived entitlement of Heaps and other super frosh - it kind of goes with the territory when you recruit "super stars".



Here is what is hilarious,



I have been excited about Jake Heaps since the first day I heard that he even existed. I am delighted that he is a Cougar. But, with any coach or player, I am a prove it on the field kind of guy. I don't buy into hype. I sure called tha tright when everyone was posting that Crowton was instantly going to replace Edwards, who had lost a step and outlived his usefulness, and take us to the next level. I said, maybe - maybe not. Why don't we just wait and see. I believe everyone deserves respect. Even Jake Heaps. And I highly respect Jake Heaps.



But he has been playing like a True Freshman - mainly because he is a True Freshman - a damned good one if last Saturday is any indicator - not so good if Wyoming is the indicator. He is already the best True Freshman to start in the history of BYU.



But that is why - you just don't start True Freshmen QBs unless circumstances force you to. And whever circumstances do force you to - you get Wyoming last year, CSU and BYU this year, or worse in most cases. Even USC dipped when they started one - even when surrounded by the best talent MONEY CAN BUY - literally.



But - sorry folks - it does make the entire team and coaching staff look bad while the inexperience factor gets dealt with over a long period of time - and it takes a long period of time.



I would proudly wear a Heaps Peeps T-Shirt and history will probalby prove me to be his most realistic fan. Hey - I was supporitng Hall when everyone was baggin on him for being imperfect last year. And I will probably be the one most vocally supporting Heaps when he is a senior and the next great Hype is on the bench looking like he has more talent.



I am a simple guy - I will fly to Provo to pick mine up. I will leave Honolulu tonight - unfortunatlely connecting through West Palm Beach Florida and hung up there all week, but arriving in SLC, a week from today. If someone wants to meet me on or around campus, I will not only wear the T-Shirt with pride, I will even pay for it. I'll even buy one for my sons. So, I will take a large, give me a medium and a small for my boys. Who wants to meet me with the shirts. I think they are great.



And I am and always have been a Heaps Peep - albeit a realistic one that wishes he had been given a chance ot red-shirt or to at least to have started with something easier than AFA and FSU on the road followed by Top 25 Nevada at home. Those are not confidence builders no matter who is calling the plays.



And when Heaps improves even further - and I think of Jim McMahon every time I see that number 9, I will join any grassroots effort to acquire The Brick Oven and rename it back to Heaps - A - Pizza - the house that Jake Built.



Go Cougs



PS - I am also a Juice Monger - albeit a realistic one and he is coming along quite nicely if I do say so myself - but forgive me for respecting JJ and Kariya and their experience - especially earlier in the year.



I am an APO Fanatic as well - just waiting to see him develop and earn it on the field of play.



I am a Van Noy boy.



I won't list them all - I love all the super frosh - just expect them to pay their dues and DEVELOP into their potential.



I heard they are all working even harder than they already were working, working even longer, and that with the recent tastes of success, are more inspired and confident. Someone even said that their hearts and souls had been re-captured.

Yeah, because saying Jake Heaps didn't work hard in Spring or Summer or the first half of this season isn't ridiculous, it's "realistic". Troll.

Since we're looking for miracles - how about putting Heaps on that new "Twinkie diet?" Not that he needs to lose weight - it seems to be a nutritional miracle marvel!!! Flipping tires & downing boxes of Twinkies - that's the ticket!! Ugghhh!!!!

:bug: :whistle: ;)

Let me help you out - Law School doesn't seem to have fully trained you on reading and vocab



When someone works HARDER or practices HARDER - it does not mean that they did not work HARD or practice HARD before. It just means they have taken it to an even higher level and are working or practicing even HARDER (simple example if it helps you visualize this complex concept - say Heaps had been staying an hour after practice to work with the receivers and had not even missed a day during summer as rumored - and now he starts staying and hour and 15 minutes after each practice - that would be harder - 25% harder after practice, actually). In my book, he must have reached the level needed to take control of an offense when you are only 19 years old sometime before last Saturday unless that was just a coincidence- that hard.

For someone that doesn't speak (or type) the English language very well, you certainly seem to take others down for it a lot.
