I am posting to inform our viewing public that this blog will be taking a break to reevaluate and assess its progress and future. I am sure you have notice the lack of posts and analysis, yet you must also understand that as recent graduates we are involved in starting families, careers and basically new lives.
BYU and it’s fans have been great to us, and the blog has been a blast. Hopefully a “break” will give us the desire and the time to build up some ideas for the future …

Here is what one reader had to say about the BCS: Doug Witt
Finally, the B[S]CS exhibits a measure of brilliance!
A modern day lesson in how to simultaneously minimize both scrutiny and risk of embarrassment
Even Al Capone or John Gotti would be impressed by this one. Never mind that their credibility remains firmly entrenched in the sewer, but the organizing committee shows some creativity in the way they managed to handle two habitual system busting conferences without risking another Oklahoma or Alabama debacle.
Doug had the same feelings and thoughts as I …

Class or no class the game was great. It had everything I expected, a tight score, penalties, trash talking, outbursts, and cover-ups. Enjoy it BYU you’ve earned it.
At least our rivalry hasn’t stooped to this level, yet….

Anyway, I don’t have much to say about Max. He’s a passionate guy who spoke his mind. I just hope he has a better game against whom ever BYU plays in the Las Vegas Bowl. Yeah, I said it Las Vegas Bowl -new sponsor who doesn’t care who comes just as long as seats …

I think a few BYU fans were happy with the level of excitement the Cougars had on Saturday. For most fans it was refreshing to see the Cougars with a little bounce in their step, especially at home -where things became derailed in earlier weeks. While the fire and excitement was appreciated, are there negatives that come with that added swagger?
My concerns stem from earlier performances against FSU and TCU. Where I have no doubts about the teams preparation or level of intensity. No matter who you are as a …

Despite some sloppy play the Cougars lean on Pitta and George + Unga and come away with a big win. What struck me during the game is the difference in the top 3 teams in the conference and remaining team. I mean AFA isn’t a bad team, but they just couldn’t get a real momentum and couldn’t really push passed making the game close. Despite the Cougars attempt to open the door and allow them back in the game it was a solid win that preps them for a tough …

I have noticed some recent comments, specifically because of there colorful verbiage. So, hello Ute fans! I understand you didn’t like the picture, but you failed to notice that your running back is 5 yards into the endzone, so the play was long since over -the Utes seem to think BYU is the cheaper of the two team. I will say BYU has done their fair share of what might be construed as a cheap shot…but I haven’t seen it caught on film (like I posted earlier this week).
OK here’s …

Air Force is always a difficult game. They have so many difficult plays to defend and they are one the few teams that play with as much effort as BYU -this could be attributed to the fact that they are in the military, or the fact that they are also undersized, and possible a little slower. You make the call. This years AFA team presents no small challenge. Calhoun has taken the Air Force Lightning Bolts and produced multiple bowl game appearances, eight and nine win seasons, and has come …

There are some crazy things happening this week and I think there are still a lot of Over AND Under rated teams out there.  So what I want to know is what 7-3 team do you think BYU should be ranked ahead of?

What 7-3 Team Should BYU Be Ranked Ahead Of?(polling)

I was looking through some of the pictures from the TCU vs. Utah game on Saturday night and I stumbled upon an interesting picture of one of Utah O-Lineman dishing out some cheapness.
The picture wasn’t interesting because of the guy running in for a score, or pointing, or anything like that. It was interesting because it captured the essence of a “Utah lineman”. Handing out a cheap, behind the ball, meaningless hit on a defender who has all but given up pursuing the running back into the end-zone.

The Cougars survived an ugly fourth quarter and some wild kicking to progress towards another 11-2 season. I have to say it is always tough to play in Albuquerque and the Lobos brought the heat this morning. I don’t know what their coaching staff did, but the Lobos played with a new spirit. Hopefully the Lobos will have that same go gett’em attitude when they play TCU.
Hall had a solid day, not spectacular, but solid. Max’s “troubles” this morning were directly linked to the offenses inability to rush for any …
