I had a girlfriend freshman year (at BYU) whose “FHE dad” dropped that line on her after knowing her for only a week.

And she bought it.

I had to find out from a relative that she was engaged, because she didn’t have nerve to tell me herself.

That guy eventually dumped her for another girl a few months later, using that same line. She…[Read more]

Can confirm. This happened to my wife twice while in college. She turned them down and I’m happy she did, and not just because she ended up with me.

Thumbs up for the honest opinion.

I think I get what you mean.

I know two women that this happened to. I know both the wives and husbands very well so I know the stories are true. Both boyfriends claimed to have received revelation for their girlfriends that they were supposed to be married. Both husbands ended up being abusive. It happens. There are lots of people of our faith that use it to manipulate…[Read more]

If he wants to be a “Utah man” because of NIL, I’d rather he go to Tennessee than Utah. Let’s be real, he’d only be going to Utah if he received more NIL and not becuase he wants to be at Utah.

Ryder Lyons didn’t commit to BYU because he loves BYU. He committed to BYU because of $$$. Anyone who says he loves BYU and NIL had absolutely had…[Read more]

I just read the D’News article about the day. Repeated what I posted only better along with some other quotes and information. It’s worth a read.

I’m happy to read that he didn’t dwell on the Tanuvasa stuff. Lander addressed it a little as well. He said that he was angry at first but emphasized how football has become a business and he’s not…[Read more]

You’ve always had it out for the church. Your perspective could not be further from the truth. I don’t know a single person who approached marrying someone that way.

We believe in God. We pray about big decisions. Marrying somebody is the biggest decision of your life. We don’t try to use God to convince somebody to marry us lol.

What I have noticed in many things, especially sports, the best predictor or the coming year is not last year. In statistics there is the concept of ‘regression to the mean’ which helps predict the next data point. This concept is even more important when the most recent data points have deviated more from the mean. Of course there are exceptions…[Read more]

I fucking love that line.

“hey babe, you’ll never believe this, but I really wanted you to marry me. I know you aren’t as into it as I am, but I totally asked god what should happen and guess what! Not what you want, you don’t matter, but what I WANTED is the SAME THING GOD WANTED!!!!

“Damn, do you feel the spirit babe? I bet this is how Joseph…[Read more]

Among those who tell you how to live, there is hardly a soul whose own morals aren’t incredibly flexible when worldly gain is on the line. Best of all, there’s always an excuse, never repentance.

Given the “we don’t want to become pay for play” comment made by one of the church higher ups, I’m certain all athletes are asked by the AD to not mention money as being a reason for choosing BYU, or to at least downplay money as being a reason.

When the football season ended last year and seeing the wholesale loss of players via the transfer portal and NIL my thinking was that Whittingham is going to go down in flames if he stays on for the 2025 season. The “family” mantra that previously provided some cohesiveness and uniqueness to the program is now irrelevant and would be laughable…[Read more]

I’m not convinced that there is a lot of risk to the system. The haves are pretty content. They are getting the best players, big money, and have a fun playoff. Further the playoff was a lot of fun to watch even though my team was not involved.

The reason we are have nots is due to our numbers. The system can afford less interest from Utah fans-…[Read more]

But unfortunately this time of year, nobody wants to talk about it. 🙁

Look, I believe in the same God he does. I pray about big decision in my life. It is entirely possible that he did feel like God was telling him to go, but that doesn’t mean money wasn’t the main motivation for even considering it in the first place. I don’t know anyone that is bought in to their current job that wakes up every morning and asks…[Read more]

because I felt like I was inspired by something greater than myself.

So Tanuvasa goes from being “more bought in” to Utah’s program…

…to being more “bought by” his new program.

But correct you are chinngiskhaan. Tanuvasa goes on to say, “the decision to leave wasn’t one that was fully made by myself…uh…because I felt like I was inspired by something greater than myself.” Yeah, right. Much greater.…[Read more]
