It seems that 400 and 500 yard passing games are more and more rare. I thought

Hambone

11:48am

Part of it has been the clock rules initiated the last decade or so shortening

foofcoug

11:49am

Seems especially true in pros. 300 passing yards is a rarity

POLL: For those that have owned solar for at least two full years have you saved money?

BYU'01

11:46am

Yeah way better in Arizona before and after. But we get a ton of sun.

JohnnyComeLately

11:47am

How much saved per year? What was your initial outlay?

BYU'01

11:49am

The math I've seen is its definitely worth it in places where electricity is $$$

rcbyufan

11:47am

I.E. location dependent. Do you get lots of sun and is electricity expensive?

rcbyufan

11:49am

Where does BYU end up in the final AP poll?

Why is EPSN using + for Houston game? I have it but I’d prefer broadcast

Get ready for some homer Houston announcers

Cooouuugs

11:47am

When there are 364 D1 teams, you're going to have a lot of games not get the big network treatment

Indy Coug

11:48am

Were there any NON CFP games with higher attendance than Alamo Bowl?

grandpacoug

11:41am

I haven't watched many, but most of the other bowl games were not sellouts

Adrielle

11:42am

I noticed that the announced attendance was less than LES capacity.

You know you can just keep scrolling if you don't like something. You don't have crap on others posts right?

He’s a stud. I love his internet arguments series

Big fan of his Just the Two of Us cover.

Has there ever been a more factual sports analogy

*Correction. “And one team has all its timeouts.”

Joe Banks

11:45am

Kids went back to school today but have next Friday off. Who creates these dumb

Magneto

11:35am

Exactly, why did they have my kids go back for two days then the weekend again??

coug10278

11:38am

Kids should have every Friday off.

ATX

11:39am

3 games left in cfb, and they are basically the same teams discussed every year.

bald man

11:32am

So we get the benefit of knowing that the final 4 teams got there

Indy Coug

11:35am

It does. And every few years you’ll get a Cinderella that breaks through.

tevye

yep. hopefully NIL and portal will allow for some

Schultz is back

I too hope time will create parity outside of sec/big10. but yea

bald man

11:49am

Was the hit in the ASU v. Texas game targeting. My analysis of Rules 9-1-3 and 9-1-4.

PJMort All-American

11:32am

The one where ASU got the INT? Probably. Same with the one later on with Texas.

foofcoug

11:39am

The one where ASU got the interception appeared to have launching involved. I would have to go back and look at it thoug

PJMort

11:43am

Possibly. Or maybe they were 2 close plays - one went the way a lot of folks

foofcoug

11:45am

True enough.

PJMort

11:47am

I agree it was targeting. People seem to be confusing crown of the helmet and

rha1211

11:41am

Isn't the 6 inch radius crown rule only for defensable players (i.e. ball carriers)?

Crazy Joe Davola

11:42am

It’s for all players, defenseless or defendable. It does require an indicator though.

PJMort

11:46am

I disagree. I feel like the defender just ran through the receiver.

HTCougar

11:43am

Head initiated contact to the head.

IGlowInTheDark

11:44am

Nobody cares anymore. Experts and real refs have said it was and should’ve been

IGlowInTheDark

11:43am

It's targeting. Any other opinion is factually incorrect

RockyBalboa

11:48am

As the rule is written it's targeting. Happy it wasnt called.

rad dawg

11:48am

Watched Interstellar for the first time last night...

HurrahforIsrael

11:31am

It's great to re watch too.

paulb

11:32am

The show definitely hinges on that weak plot point. Still, it's a good movie, creative, and original content, that's

Bert609

11:32am

Spoiler alert…thanks.

Magneto

Other people in the future created it so Cooper could understand the 5th dimension in a 3D environment.

Tesla Coug

It is like a modern day film adaptation of Flatland (+1 dimension)

AggieWeekendCougar

Really?? I'll have to watch it again

HurrahforIsrael

11:44am

Science: a black hole is formed when too many people fail to return checked out library books.

PJMort

11:40am

Apparently there was more to the Bielema/Beamer beef lol. I guess earlier in the game SC did an alleged dirty play.

byuTX mutual friends

11:27am

I'm on Team Bielema for this one. Beamer looks like a crybaby.

Conan

11:28am

Bielema was still a Richard for his extremely over the top defensive subbing

Ghost of Peanut

11:38am

BYU did that in a few games as well. It's less bothersome when our team does it lol

byuTX

11:40am

It was an entirely new level and Bielema completely abused that reffing crew

Ghost of Peanut

11:45am

"Gesture-gate"? Everything's a gate. I've never heard of the arms out thing by a returner

txblue

11:32am

It happens all the time. I bet you'll see it in the Sugar bowl

byuTX

11:34am

You'll see it all the time now if you look. That's the gesture most return guys use when they are standing at the goal

SingleStrapBackpack

11:36am

Right, during the kick. But isn't the reference that it was done pre-kick or am I misunderstanding?

txblue

11:42am

That's a signal to your own team, not the kicking team.

Ghost of Peanut

11:46am

any word on Chase? Was it shoulder?, wrist?, surgery needed?

BYURider

11:25am

Labrum and reported that no surgery needed.

coug10278

11:27am

That is good news, hope it is nothing like Ben Bywater's injury

Projectoor

11:39am

Labrum tears suck and a lot of the time does not require surgery. Rehab is easier and better.

AsianCoug

11:39am

BYU got a shoutout from Annie Agar's NFL roundup today. Right at the start.

P-Widdy

11:22am

That was pretty funny. Never seen her before. She's good.

Adrielle

11:37am

She does one each week and has started going on the national shows fairly

P-Widdy

11:48am

Pretty spot on for the BYU reference.

Blue for Life

11:41am

With the juco years not counting, does this mean we can bring sarkisian back

Sandy Lyle

11:22am

No way...have you seen the belly on that guy?!

coug10278

11:23am

Yes. As long as there is no such thing as an eligibility clock.

HBCoug

11:24am

The best offense and special teams in the Big 12:

byujacob INSUFFERABLE KNOW IT ALL

11:21am

LOL at looking at yards per game.

rcbyufan

11:27am

Ummm looks like bYU had best special teams but not so much offense

Cooouuugs

11:30am

Sorting punt returns by the long on the season and offense by yards per game is a really bad argument

kimdaddy35

11:41am

I only take issue with his words "best offense" and then sorting by yards per gm

rcbyufan

11:44am

Single and this is the year. Anyone else?

Probably already posted, but Dybantsa and UT Prep is playing in AZ

Johnny Vatos

11:17am

How many miles a year does Utah Prep travel and how does that compare to a D1 program?

Indy Coug

11:20am

My question is what is the model for Utah Prep and other teams like them? Where do they get the money for travel, etc?

Zenoch

11:39am

To me, the ASU loss was kind of the best of both worlds

BYU Fan

11:17am

Makes a lot of sense. I'm pulling for Texas because they're my other team but I'm not optimistic about beating tOSU.

WDaddy

11:21am

Coaching a team to win a NC is a tall order and Dillingham doesn't measure up.

Shihan

11:27am

RE: Coaching a team to win a NC is a tall order and Dillingham doesn't measure

Shihan

11:43am

Texas winning is never the best of any world.

Scratch

11:24am

But ND, Georgia, or tOSU is? LOL

WDaddy

11:25am

Better than Texas. Texas is one of the biggest reasons CFB is a mess.

Scratch

11:33am

Texas is by far the best of the remaining teams to cheer for. Only a clown would cheer for

Skeptical Optimist

11:28am

The game was stolen. They were excited to be in the CFP...

ryebrye

Being consistent Buckeye fan (secondary to BYU) I'm pulling for tOSU.

It’s funny to me when some here try to discredit/take shots at Drake Toll, John

CougfromtheSouth

11:12am

I like them both and wish them success. But Drake is a 22 year old Baylor

oxcoug

11:17am

I agree his Arod rants have gotten old. But he speaks to the grievances of many

CougfromtheSouth

11:20am

He graduated and works for the Savannah Bananas / podcast stuff

BYU'01

11:22am

He’s just another dude in love with the sound of his own voice.

royal_blue

11:22am

He’s exactly like a stereotypical CBer. He’ll sharply criticize ARod, say Hill deserves whatever it costs…

When discussing the "best all-time BYU teams", don't dis the 80's teams.

The Y's Insider

11:09am

While I agree, your draft numbers are skewed. Before 1994 there were at least 12

cougarfann888

11:15am

Valid point. Still, the '81 team had 5 players drafted in rounds 1-6.

The Y's Insider

11:28am

RE: When discussing the "best all-time BYU teams", don't dis the 80's teams.

ElkhunterUT

11:16am

Some 80s players think that the ‘83 team may have been better than ‘84.

LeGrandBleu

11:19am

I think the ‘83 is likely the best BYU team of all time. That’s not a dis on any of the early 80’s teams through ‘85.

All those teams mentioned were very good.

Every rules analyst, expert or official that I've seen has said its targeting

Goliath

11:01am

Does the pass being tipped matter? I'm guessing not but just throwing out ideas.

COACHdrn

11:04am

I believe only as it relates to possible pass interference, not targeting.

neboutefan

11:05am

That’s what I understand too.

rainorsnow

11:07am

Not in terms of the penalty call, but it did impact the hit and the play

Skeptical Optimist

11:20am

Steratore weighed in this morning that it is targeting. I haven't seen any argue against

txblue

11:09am

Are they going to cancel out the TD when Scattebo was PULLED in?

IGlowInTheDark

11:11am

I believe that was on first down. And a rule that is rarely enforced

ATX

11:14am

So you’re saying…

IGlowInTheDark

11:17am

They got rid of the rule that OL can’t assist a runner.

Short_Changed

11:29am

No, they modified it. You can push but that's it. no teammate may grasp, pull, or lift the ball carrier to assist

Radioactive Coug

11:32am

The most compelling argument that it was targeting is the stipulation in the rulebook that if there is
