Joe Banks All-American

Anyone ever DIY’ed epoxy flooring?

Ikuna

4:04pm

yes, I have done it several times

FuriousMonkey

4:05pm

Will you recommend a particular brand or kit?

Longseason

4:09pm

I did once, I decided to forgo the etching. Don't do that.

md7Coug

4:05pm

Never done epoxy, but hardwood/laminate is not difficult (and is more forgiving)

What a great idea for Halloween!

Bay Area and Yellowstone are pretty safe bets.

Yellowstone has been relatively active for decades or more.

Here's your chance to buy the "Chateau V" (20,000 square foot house) near Denver, CO. Only $60 million.

buhlcougar All-American

3:57pm

wow, that looks just like Versailles.

Cougarclaw

3:59pm

Shoot. I bought one similar to that last week but I like this one better. Not sure if I can swing the budget while

What happened to the game I love?

DieHarder

3:53pm

Defenses are stronger/better

IDAHO 4 Y

3:55pm

Depends on how many rushing TDs there are.

JuicyJam

3:57pm

Is this just everybody playing 2 high safety and preventing big pass plays

TCuz

3:57pm

Nix, Daniels, Jones, Levis, Watson, Prescott, etc

RC Vikings

Brady retired for good after 2022, so that explains everything, I think

Hmmm. I guess it depends on what we are measuring here.

About what I expected

Huge Manatee

Defense has overperformed, offense looks about what I expected. Outside of his

BYUheaven

3:46pm

Defense over performing. Offense under performing. Run game is still a liability

I like our chances on Saturday. The students go crazy at late night games. I was

Pray for me as I'll be driving 3 1/2 hours home to get to 7:00 am meetings the next morning.

IdahoCoug

3:51pm

The crowd clearly disrupted Arizona State that season as well

CLCougar

3:53pm

One thing Jake Retzlaf could do to vastly improve this offense-- hand the ball to a healthy LJ Martin.

PJMort All-American

3:34pm

That would be great but our top 6 rushers are averaging over 4.2 yds/carry and we're averaging 151 yds/game so far.

ManicBlue

3:45pm

that's a terrible idea when LJ is on the sideline though

Czar-castic

3:48pm

I think we called like 3 run plays out of the first 20 plays against Wyoming.

JuicyJam

4:09pm

Temple coming to spanish fork?

PabloSanchezz

3:33pm

Seems like the one in Payson is large enough to handle it.

kccougar

3:35pm

Yeah the Payson temple is pretty close to SF

WJCougar

3:35pm

Not the distance, it is the growth and availability. Sometimes you are a week

Ycrazy

3:37pm

I've never been - I wonder how busy it is.

kccougar

3:37pm

Sessions are generally all the way full when I go. I do go on the weekends

Russell Feathers

3:41pm

Pretty full during the am on weekdays also

FMCougar

3:47pm

In 20 years that probably won’t be the case

puntersarepeople

3:41pm

That has been the rumor in Mapleton for a while that they would build a temple

Ycrazy

3:36pm

Yeah i've had the same experience. And factoring in Salem growth, it's likely

PabloSanchezz

3:39pm

They're building >3k homes in the old BYU farms between Spanish Fork and Salem.

Can someone explain a hip drop tackle

OU Cougar

3:29pm

See Utah St vs BYU QBs

Tare

3:30pm

You grab someone around the waist and throw your weight into their knees

Mostlyaccurate

3:32pm

Grab on, kick your legs out from under yourself, and let gravity do the rest.

Corn Pop

3:32pm

Probably less likely to be called if you land with your body weight on ground

Tricky

3:41pm

This video is a perfect. I was always curious exactly what it meant.

rtNelson

3:57pm

Examples here

Thrill

3:32pm

Most of those actually are NOT hip drop tackles.

Eddie

3:35pm

I changed the video after seeing that many examples were not hip drop.

Ha! Your 2nd video is the one in my post below. 😉

Eddie

Here's another example. Warning, bad memories.

POLL: Do you agree with BYU's chosen strategy of using 4th down more often than anyone else in the nation?

Indy Coug Loquacious Lummox

3:29pm

FWIW, I'm personally undecided on this topic until I see more data.

Indy Coug

paulb

I strongly disagree with the "never kick" philosophy

Indy Coug

3:31pm

RE: I strongly disagree with the "never kick" philosophy

paulb

3:34pm

Numbers look good early this year, but I expect the success rate to drop significantly as the season progresses

kccougar

3:32pm

Only two teams exceeded 80% conversions on 4th down last year

Indy Coug

3:33pm

I put no. I don’t think there is enough data to always go for it on 4th.

Mathew

3:32pm

Not really. I think we left points on the board at SMU in a game where points

NOCAL_YFAN

3:36pm

The biggest complaint I have about A-Rod - more than running option to the short

Iron Coug

3:37pm

Even with the added .800 conversion rate on 4th down, that still only brings the

foofcoug

3:38pm

(11 3rd down conversions + 8 4th down conversions) / (39 3rd downs) = 1st downs 48.7% of the time

Indy Coug

3:40pm

48.7 is good, but the consequence of failing on a 4th down try is worse

Belboz

3:47pm

I agree that a 4th down failure is worse. Quantifying how much worse is not straightforward.

Indy Coug

3:49pm

Agreed plus we're only attempting a fraction of the total 4th downs, we're

Rhubarb

3:51pm

Given that we've converted on 8/10. I'd say we're doing it right so far.

ManicBlue

3:39pm

I'm extremely conservative and hate risk. I like punting on 4th down

Belboz

3:43pm

I wish BYU's chosen strategy was to convert 3rd downs more often than just once

IceCreamButt

3:44pm

When you are playing teams you're clearly better than, then you need to go for it on 4th down more often than the

HarlemCoug

3:46pm

And this seems to match up with Kalani/Arod's philosopy.

kccougar

3:47pm

Rule should be 1 punt per quarter.

Longseason

3:58pm

BYU is punting 4 times a game, which is about average nationally.

Indy Coug

I think given opponent quality, distance to gain, and field position ...

WJCougar

Their fans were mentioning that as a concern
