Just so you all don’t think I am wrapping this blog thing up for the year, I am happy to report that the blog has eclipsed the 500,000 page load mile stone. I don’t know how great that is, but it seems like a crap load of page views.

This is an account written by Doug Jolley a former TE. Doug actually came to BYU as a QB, I believe out of St. George. Ended up being an All MWC TE and was drafted in the 2nd round by the Raiders. Doug went on to play for the Raiders, Jets and Buccaneers. I have to preface this article by saying that Doug Jolley is one Cougar that I will always look up to. When I walked on in 2001 I was a complete nobody and …

If you want the facts about the coach, they are always in the Media Guide. Here are the details that are always left out. I knew Lance Reynolds from day one of the college football experience. Coach Reynolds is the recruiting coordinator for San Diego and was the first coach to pay me a visit. I really enjoyed the subsequent meetings with him, but what made me really like Coach Reynolds was his honesty with me. He never let me believe anything other than the …

Coach Tidwell became the Inside Linebackers coach my Sophomore year, so I was able to be under his tutelage for three years. I would say that is enough time to get to know a man. The thing we liked most about Coach Tidwell was that he didn’t always have to be right. When we were in meetings and he said something wrong, if we corrected him he would admit it (He wasn’t wrong very often) or if he didn’t know the answer to a question he would …

Wow, that’s all I have to say. I would break that game down, but the problems were obvious and the Wildcats took advantage early and often.

As I read through the comments I actually think there isn’t much that needs to be said. I only have a few things to add to the already well-discussed Las Vegas Bowl.
1. The linebackers and defensive backs must make plays in space. Grigsby is great at finding a crack and reeling off an 8-10 yard gain. WR’s Thomas and Dean have big play potential and will be a great test -not only for our linebackers with the underneath routes, but could also give us problems down field. If you think …

First and foremost I would like to thank Quinn for giving me the opportunity to write my first and last blog entry.  Seriously though…great job Quinn.  This is the only Cougar Football website I will ever take seriously.  I have to admit that since the end of my football career I have wandered over to a few different websites just to take a peek and WOW!! My two year old knows more about the game than most these people.

Things to be excited about if you’re a Cougar:
1. Las Vegas doesn’t have ten inches of snow on the ground.
2. The JW Marriot hotel is spectacular.
3. You get a free Wii and some extra per diem cash to spend on holiday gift.
4. At least you get another game to erase the Utah loss out of your mind. That’s more then the 2004 team received after their loss to the U.

Most everyone remember Nate Meikle getting smashed in Tucson as he stood, helplessly gazing toward the desert sky awaiting a punt. Here are a few of his experiences as a punt returner.
1999: Ricks College
Rexburg, Idaho
Grayshirt Season
“I’ll just keep hiding out on the sideline,” I tell myself as the players on the field are trying out for punt returner. The irony of the situation sinks in as I find myself wishing there were a way I could return punts without having to actually catch the ball. No doubt …

When we lost to UofA in 2006 at their place I was not impressed with their team.  I did not play due to a newly torn hamstring, but I watched all the film and was so frustrated we let that one get away.  Did you know that on one play our D only had 10 guys on the field?  We were missing a DL and they ran the ball RIGHT WHERE HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE…for a loss of 2 yards!  This was on the 10 yard line mind you.
In …

When Coach Lamb was the safety coach back in the day he had a few quotes that we all loved. This particular quote is brought to you due to a few players inability to catch the ball with their hands.
