It’s probably just me, but I miss runnercard being the default entries and results site for track and XC

Probably not inexpensive but they need to update their UI.

If we still have tourney expectations this is a huge game

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

Cougs bounce back tonight and win by double digits

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.

rainorsnow

9:30am

This will ultimately hurt him.

TheHop

9:34am

Whitt may not be going anywhere either.

BlueFever

9:35am

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

Ghost of Peanut

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

It would be nice to have some more LDS coaching talent outside of utah, and Utah

I would really like it if BYU were to win tonight.

It looks like BYU was able to negotiate 8 home games on BYUTV. Everything else

First world problems that I need to get over (but still bug me...)

My wife's FB got hacked, they also set up the two factor authentication.

COUGND

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

Incentivize

9:24am

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

If BYU loses one home game and goes 50/50 on the road, our record would be

9:16am

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

9:18am

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

aj.plus.egor.is.life

9:22am

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

MwangoleCoug9

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,

aj.plus.egor.is.life

9:38am

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

Mr. Scoobs

9:40am

BYU was top 12 in NET the entire season last yr and went 3-6 on the road in conf

Mr. Scoobs

9:32am

This team may not have shown out yet, but the talent is better

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

CaliWG

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

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

I will say Iowa St., Kansas, Cincinnati, and West Virginia are all very good

So you’re saying your wife seems to like you skinnier? That should be decent enough motivation to eat less.

Quit snacking late at night

RC Vikings

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

9:11am

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

Can you imagine how much NIL Jimmer would have gotten?

He was the biggest star in all of college sports during his senior year

Did the 4 best teams make it to the Final Four of the College Football Playoff?

WJCougar

8:53am

Maybe, but the best team will win, which is the whole point.

mudpupper

8:56am

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

mudpupper

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

You can't have a 7 game playoff in football. There are two options to try to find the best team. 1. A playoff. 2. An eye

Already calls to get rid of first round byes in the CFP & go to either 8 or 16 teams, guess who the biggest whiners are?

BYU Grounds Truly Addicted User

8:44am

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

8:50am

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

Better not shrink to 8. That’s a terrible idea.

Goliath

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

fulano

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.

GfB

9:07am

I'm adding those to my list!

dingus79

9:10am

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.

No idea then!

My guess is to call them and see what they say is the problem and go from there

GFCougar

What about the contracts we got out of? Did we big time them?

A lot of the other contracts had out clauses if we got a P5 invite.
