Nice Star Wars Christmas vibe here

Same, it's incredible

Born2Fish

10:01am

That's great place for cajun seafood, even for a chain. Every Pappas restaurant is good.

Skeptical Optimist

If you get the crawfish platter you’ll be disspointed

MormonThug

Hopefully the SA restaurants keep reservations better than SA Avis 😉

True

OU Cougar

My (Alema?) dilemma: Jazz box seats or stay home and watch the Alamo bowl?

C-dubb

9:41am

Will you be posting the dilemma part in a follow up?

kccougar

9:42am

Record and wear ear plugs?

BYU71

9:43am

That is tough with the Jazz being so good this year.

Niiineteeen84

9:47am

Do the TV's change channels in the box?

RealSimsShadY

9:50am

Jazz is fine and all, but I’m more of a classic rock guy.

Skywalker's Beard

9:51am

Bring an IPad and put the game on.

Crazy Joe Davola

9:54am

Sucks to be BYU. Utah wins again

UnoDoctor

Did he get downgraded in that time?

And if he did does that lower rating following him back to Utah?

cougarfann888

With Kalani being the poly Lavell, does he treat bowl games like Lavell?

Projectoor

9:36am

LaVell stopped treating them the same way toward the end of his career. He saw

gwalker

9:38am

I would think KS would want to win the game..let’s see if the players are all in

BulldogCoug79

9:39am

I don't think LaVell threw in the towel for bowls at all.

Jeffacka

9:39am

Began with a goal to win the conference, then go to a bowl game, then win a bowl

calblue

9:59am

Some on here have suggested Kalani

BYU71

9:40am

I'm expecting this to be ugly for us. Hope I'm wrong.

Jesse Pinkman

9:42am

Other than being a nice guy, in what ways is his similar to Lavell?

vagabonder

9:42am

They both have 6 letters in their first name.

foofcoug

9:46am

If we’re being honest, Lavell is so adored by BYU fans, that KS could never lose

Polecat

9:53am

If Kalani never lost another game, how many titles would we have?

the_archduke

10:01am

Kalani and LaVell have very little in common.

Stupid leap day.

jollaksentie

9:34am

So snow on the 27th instead of the 26th?

bluecougar1985

9:35am

Yep. That way it wouldn’t be the day after Christmas

jollaksentie

Not sure about this but ESPN is very biased. They aren't the source of truth.

The podcast network started by David Locke has replaced them as the

Some ward friends had cable and we were all over at their house watching it. First BYU game I knew what was

BYU Tar Heel

Sure, but what trim level? Has to be a TRD-Pro which is what they would showcase

Superkid

9:03am

3rd gen TRD Pros were $50k. The new 4th gen are $65k. RDF3 isn't wrong, those $55k trucks are regular Off-Roads. 🙁

Bert609

9:05am

At that point, buy a Ranger Raptor. No way is a TRD Pro worth that.

Superkid

9:13am

Oh I agree, especially since the TRD Pro only gives you "suspension seats" and no manual transmission. The Overtrail

Nothing like a humble-brag to begin the morning

Just because we need more car talk… revisiting RWD v FWD in winter. I like the way this guy tests.

Tokolosh Stop the Stupid party member

8:25am

FWD and understeer is against my religion. I absolutely despise the feel behind the wheel, I'd deal with RWD oversteer

Bert609

8:31am

But FWD is better for peeling rubber. 😉

VACOUGFAN

8:36am

Hahah, I love it. While I'm a die-hard RWD acolyte, FWD in that application actually makes sense. Your maintenance

Bert609

Yes and wet grass and a slight incline is death to these beasts though.

VACOUGFAN

8:57am

My dude if you're noticing understeer on public roads, slow the freak down

NGB

I can notice understeer on FWD cars on left-hand turns at 10mph. The steering fights you, it's especially obvious if

Hank Rearden

I’d be curious how this works out with all season tires.

Hank Rearden

8:44am

Now do the test with a soccer mom at the wheel trying to remember 10 different things and driving is 11 on the list. lol

PJMort

8:51am

Fair point. Taking driving decisions away from the driver has its meaningful applications.

Tokolosh

8:56am

Yeah my take away was his 2nd to last sentence- RWD more fun. FWD more safe

DiamondMo

Reminds me. I have some gently used winter tires for an S63 is anyone need them

He is building a very compelling case of media collusion to prop up SEC and downgrade Big 12

2FarGone

Which makes no sense to me because the Big12 is an ESPN property also

thewaterboy

8:22am

isn't is a shared property with Fox and don't they pay the SEC much more?

Of course, but it seems like you'd want to drive up viewership for your property

Re-rating a transfer seems to make sense to me, and a player that didn't crack the 2 deep in 2 years should drop

Greg Kite's 'stache

That makes more sense, and is possible. The problem is that neither SOR or FPI are open source

The CFP committee use SOS, SOR, and FPI when it suits them

This take is so stupid. Of course a player who never plays is rated lower when they transfer.

RealTaysomHill

Did you hear his Gentry example? He played & in regular rotation including in NC team.

Soupie

8:57am

It’s the same thing. When he was rated out of high school, he rated really highly against other high school players

It matters because multiple ranking systems including FPI include
