That is what all of the highly paid coaches and players at TSPP say. They don’t want to admit that wealthy church members are spending a lot of money on paying 18 year olds to play basketball instead of spending the money to help people that actually need it. It looks bad if the uber wealthy church openly talks about paying kids millions of…[Read more]

“[Q]uashing more bad BYU fan narratives.”

If they are going to contribute more than 1 or 2 big plays this season, they will need to do what Vaki and Weddle did, which is contribute in more ways than 1. With Vaki there were a few different runs he could pull off, and he was a home run threat in the passing game as well. He was a legitimate running back. With Weddle, he could throw, run,…[Read more]

Returning kicks is not the same thing as playing on offense. Obviously, whoever is returning kicks, everyone knows who is going to return the kick unless there are onside kicks or other shenanigans ensue.

Gimmick players are not a good thing IMO. When they come in, everyone knows what is about to happen. If they are going to play both ways all the time, and they are capable of it, fine. It doesn’t even have to be close to every snap, just enough so that it isn’t obvious what we are about to do when they come on the field. That was one of Ludwig’s…[Read more]

Yes, but the fact that we kept him on the roster and repeatedly insisted that he was the guy had a massive impact on our ability to recruit quality players at the QB position, ESPECIALLY experienced transfers. If Rising had simply left, we would have been a lock to pick up an experienced transfer QB wanting to come in and win right away. He…[Read more]

They weren’t part of the debacle, they were the debacle. Again, not their fault. Shit happens, but if they had left after that Rose Bowl loss, there never would have been a debacle in the first place. The debacle was the Rising injuries. No Rising, no injuries, no debacle.

What Kool Aid? He’s an offensive tackle who won’t even be on the team until next year.

I don’t think anything is a stretch at this point (in terms of regular season record). We are an injury or two away from having a losing record. On the flip side of that, if Dampier improves in his decision making a little bit, and we don’t have any catastrophic injuries, there is a very real chance we make it to the Big12 championship.

Is it a…[Read more]

I was referring to his siblings.

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]

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]

Come on guys, he didn’t say that. He’s obviously being dishonest about how bought into the program he was, but he did not say what that tweet says he did.

He’s clearly a liar that is more concerned about his pocketbook and his public image than he is about his integrity, but lets not say he said things he did not say. He’s a liar because he says…[Read more]

100%

haha, that is a good question. It is hard to tell with the way these threads are organized. It was in reply to Utah#1’s post.

Bro, calm down.

If he’s anything like the rest of his family he will underperform. Not saying he is, but I won’t lose any sleep over him.

I shrug about must things in college sports these days.

College sports are now nothing more than horribly run minor leagues for their respective sports. If there was at least some attempt at keeping things fair I would be okay with it. Without that, I have no need for college sports other than nostalgia. I have zero connection to University of…[Read more]

He had good efficiency numbers and he’s the tallest guy on the team though, so he isn’t totally useless. He is also a decent rebounder apparently. Not a bad guy to have on the end of the bench.

I expect them to have a good year, but, like the last two years, it depends on injuries. People forget that we were doing just fine until Baylor got away with one of the latest hits I’ve ever seen.

Awful injury luck across the entire team has derailed our last two seasons.

We will be fine as long as that doesn’t happen again.
