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 …

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 …

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.

That’s the only way could explain that one. Add in the fact that BYU’s offense looked very efficient. Max did a great job of spreading the ball around to different players. He also threw the ball on time and didn’t leave much time for the defensive line to get any pressure. Man, we missed this team last week. (But TCU is no WYO)
I was also impressed by the defenses tenacity throughout the game. They chased the Wyoming QB relentlessly and they put some big hits on ball carriers. That week …

New Mexico’s problems just keep getting worse. First a coaches meeting goes all Tyson vs Hollyfield and than Ms. Lambert decides to try and pull a Lady Cougar soccer players head-off, by her pony tail. Although, it looked like the Lady Cougars started the whole mess, meow.
Those Lobos must be liv’in the thug life down their in Albuquerque.
Oh and for any fans traveling to the game this year…Please keep your heads on a swivel and if possible tuck your pony tails into your shirts. But hey the Lobo’s secondary might …

For the fortunate few, they never have to take the trip to Laramie.  The silver lining is that at the most you only have to go twice.  I had the opportunity to go to Laramie my sophomore and senior year and it was quite different each time.  Here is my account on what it is like to play the Pokes in War Memorial Stadium…

With Harvey closing in on Mr. Curtis Brown’s all time rushing record, let’s feed the next all time leader. Not only is he closing in on the record he’s the Cougars best player -and the conferences best back. I know some are shaking their heads. Yes, the Cougars have talent at the tight end position, but their touches are minimized by down distance and situation. When is it a bad time to turn around give the ball to Harvey…except for maybe 3/4th and long? Who know maybe our Offensive Coordinators …

Laramie, well nothing good can be said about Laramie -especially in November. Any other week I envy the chance to strap on the pads and helmet and mix it up one more time, but not this week.
Your pads and helmet become extremely uncomfortable as the air inside expands, leaving you even more irritable. Maybe that’s why the fans are so hostile in Laramie, I know I would be mad if I had to wade through 9 months of winter.
Regarding some of the crazy stories about the fans and heated pennies …
