Pick any car you choose. Do you think you have the driving skills to evade the police in a high speed chase?

No way. Only chance is a tank and just running everything over.

We need to win almost every home game. We have the best home court though

Clemson should hire Morgan Scalley as their new DC. It would immediately help Clemson, Morgan would have lots of talent

Unibro Utah fans are sensitive

9:29am

Scalley isn’t going anywhere.

This will ultimately hurt him.

Why let the next coach fumble around, when the current one seems to be

Whitt may not be going anywhere either.

It would be a great career move for Scalley, but he seems scared to leave both

Keep Scalley at Utah. No need to clear a return path for Hill to Utah.

Could things be lining up for a special world cup? A coach who gets it. Players

A special World Cup would need the center backs and goalie to step up another notch

What the CFP committee got wrong: rankings and CCG losers.

The current format precludes ND from being ranked 1-4.

I'm waiting til the end of January where we have 4 weeks of B12 games under our belts to decide what the ceiling is

BYUMizzou

Right I agree, we cant say how good this team really is but

aj.plus.egor.is.life

I don’t see this team going 50/50 on the road.

You don't think that we can beat

Not saying BYU can’t.

We aren’t going .500 or better on the road

texaskevin

9:21am

There's no way we split all our road games. Win 8 home games and 3-4 road games

cougfan03

9:25am

Our road schedule is in the B12 so it's not going to be easy

aj.plus.egor.is.life

9:27am

Even the bottom half of the conference teams won't be easy to beat on the road

cougfan03

9:28am

Like Providence? Providence is under .500 and we couldn't even compete.

Mr. Scoobs

9:33am

Providence is better then their record shows,

Providence isn't better than most of the Big12 teams we have to play on the road

I suspect we will lose 2-3 home games. Hopefully we can win 3-4 on the road.

My concern: Teams watch the Houston debacle and realize the way to beat BYU...

lbmango

Even in a deep conference like Big12 no one has athletes like Houston to do that

Schrodizzy

9:21am

Yep. Many teams would get into early foul trouble trying to replicate the same kind of defense.

BackPacker

9:47am

thats a completely legitimate concern as long as KY doesnt take the same game

LeonMarek

9:17am

This has always been the way to beat BYU. Good teams did the same

Dangerous

9:18am

It wasn't just physical - both Providence and Houston extended their defense above the 3 point line, aggressively hedged

texaskevin

9:19am

That’s not a bad recipe to beat anybody like it did for them with TCU last night

ovalY

Replicating Houston's D would take over a year to implement

Or better yet, after dinner. Eat dinner and be done for the day.

Regarding your last line. I know correlation doesn't imply causation, but in this case...

IAmSpartyCoug

Try an ancestral diet and running.

Maybe start with intermittent fasting. Do something like an 18/6 schedule- wait until noon to eat, dinner at 6, and fast

runnincoug

Was just thinking this morning how quiet it's been since the portal closed for BYU. Feeling great about that.

Soupie

9:09am

You never now what will happen after spring ball, but for now BYU is in the clear

jvr7

9:15am

I think this will definitely happen. Players will be given their grades. Some will certainly feel they deserve more

HarlemCoug

Mostly likely but for now I'll be grateful for the sigh of relief.

Soupie

The player retention has been a huge recruiting win

With those that entered the portal in December, we're still over the new roster cap for 2025. Expect about 15-20 more

And to be fair, sometimes the overall best team doesn't win the tourney

I'd say at least 2 of the 4 in OSU and ND. Not sure I think Texas is even the 2nd best SEC team. Nor do I believe PSU

BYU Grounds Truly Addicted User

Let's go to 16. I'm all for it.

RGGeemer

8:45am

Forego the conference championship game and just go to 20 or 24 like FCS

Schultz is back

8:47am

Definitely an option. I like 16 w/ CCG’s though. Top 4 champs guaranteed home first round

22jrob22

The biggest downside to that is that those teams played an extra game

9:00am

Yes, still very much a core aspect of fly fishing. People who only fish a few times a year are likely just buying

dingus79

9:08am

It can be more expensive to tie rather than buy if you don't fish a lot.

fulano

9:18am

I don't know how people tie flies anymore with flies being as inexpensive as they are.

Ssebo

9:07am

I like being able to tie exactly what I want, including oversizing tung beads on a smaller hook.

GfB

9:08am

I guess I just don't spend enough time fishing to have it make that big of a difference.

Ssebo

9:14am

no reason to tie if you're using just a few patterns. If you are fishing heavily

9:21am

Outside of nymphs, I really only need like 3 dry flies. No see'ums, Bionic Ant, and Olsen's front end loader caddis.

I'm adding those to my list!

after tying probably hundreds of thousands when i did it for a job, I almost always buy my flies now

I’ve been tying a lot of midges. My local stream still has a little bit of open water and you can have a lot of luck

My business has a separate account.
