Amen, brother!

Go Sox!

that dream sounds so familiar...

I'm actually really jealous. I'm not a huge sports fan, but vintage baseball has a special place in my heart. I'm actually really upset that I never got to go to a game in the old yankee stadium. Must make it to fenway.

Funny thing is that just recently (July 20th) I was watching the Red Sox get beat by the Athletics in the Coliseum in Oakland.

The Cougars should go independent. Forget basketball, the automatic bid is going to UNLV every year anyway. Check out this new BYU blog, it is a work in progress

2010-06-30T11:56:24.970-06:00

I believe Sept. 1st is the MWC notification deadline if you want to leave for another conference for the 2011 season. Conferences have different deadlines. So if BYU gets an invite by Sept. 1st, they can play the 2011 season elsewhere. It would just give your dad another 2 weeks to hopefully be right!!

2010-06-30T10:50:22.262-06:00

Adam, I have no idea what the big 12 is, it sounds like a secret committee that meets on a biannual basis to decide what direction to next take the world in.

I hope they're saving a seat for BYU-- only because it seems like it would make you and Dad and other people that I love happy and not because I actually know what it is.

Go cougs.

2010-06-29T12:21:50.320-06:00

The only thing that I thought was remotely possible after reading that comment was a possibility of going independent and leveraging our relationship with the MWC to keep all sports except Football in the conference. I don't know if I like that idea or not, but that's what I thought of.

I hope your dad's right, but my gut tells me you'll win.

2010-06-28T23:06:34.261-06:00

we can only hope that we'd be invited to the Big 12.

But i really don't think we'll have any big announcements for another one to two years.

2010-06-28T22:52:26.914-06:00

Don't get the soup at Mendy's cause it's not a meal.

I believe anything and everything KO says. That being said I am willing to bet the farm on his instinct.

Cougs to the Big 12!

So, will you have to change your mission statement? I believe you have referred to Real soccer maybe once before?

Love the video.

Did anyone else think some of the guys at the 3:46 mark looked like missionaries?

Suits in June in NYC + backpacks + honor code-approved haircuts = missionaries.

Thanks for the post. It's about time!!

2010-06-19T16:41:19.058-06:00

I think I will grow to hate BS as much as I hate the Utes. I'm sad to see the rivalry change but I think a new one will arise based on the fact that BS hates Mormons too.

2010-06-18T15:10:42.522-06:00

Haha, you crack me up. I was sure that you were a soccerlover up until the punch line. Good one, for sure. I just don't get soccer. I've watched one full game, and parts of others, and I just don't get the appeal. Also, that botched call that cost the USA the game today is only a small example of what's wrong with soccer. What a crying shame that an inexperienced Somalian referee can call back a goal with no explanation for why, and no accountability. It's ridiculous.

2010-06-18T11:22:22.077-06:00

WoW, the bitterness is unbelievable! BYU has tried at least twice to leave with no thought for Utah. No, this is a great day for all Utahns and the teams they support. The rivalry will continue but with a different focus. BYU will be playing with renewed energy because they will want to defeat a PAC team and show their worthiness of a better conference to the world. Utah will feel the pressure to beat a "non conference" team and hatred from down south will reign supreme, ( ala Max Hall).
Y fans need not worry to much. It would be long before the Mountain "who care" conference disolves and BYU, TCU and maybe Boise leave for greener pastures. The NCAA and BCS would like to see conferences have a championship game. They are required to have 12 teams to do it. This will open doors eventually. lets hope it doesn't take 30 years.
The real tragedy for the Y is recruiting. The U will definately have the edge and the money. Their program should only get better. That isn't to say that the church won"t throw more money at the school. (can you say 11% tithing).
Anyway, take heart BYU can always follow BYU at Idaho and focus on academics.
