I could listen to Greg’s call of Parker’s return over and over and over

HimmerFredette

7:23am

The crowd noise growing and growing is the best part for me.

ChiCityCoug

7:28am

Hans was speechless after the Kingston TD. Wrubell yells "Can you believe THAT!!??" and then turns to Hans,

Skeptical Optimist Intervention Needed

7:20am

Hans did what any good analyst does . . . refrained from talking so that

7:22am

Those guys are absolute pros

Skeptical Optimist

7:26am

And then Wrubell is just shaking his head in disbelief as Hans describes the play

Skeptical Optimist

7:22am

I think Hans likes to allow for silence so the listeners can hear the crowd

Duke Silver

The best broadcasters know when to shut up.

I’m not sure I like the booth cams. I kind of like the mystique of radio and not

UNLVcougar

Who’s that guy in between Greg and Hans?

HimmerFredette

7:28am

They spelled Kalanis name wrong

HimmerFredette

7:20am

Board name checks out

Perseguir

7:22am

Eventually were gonna see players hold a team hostage

RockyBalboa

7:18am

There needs to be something written into their NIL to prevent this type of stuff.

Swag Kazekage

7:20am

Weird that many seem to think the player wronged the program.

KYU

7:28am

Dave Arandas birthday is on Sunday

HimmerFredette

7:17am

So in three games, Matt Sluka has completed 43% of his passes for 318 yards

BYU Fan

7:09am

He is 3-0 at UNLV

johnnybyu

7:17am

That's the sad part for him. He probably found the one team that he actually fits well on and will never play again.

mokelembembe

7:21am

I am guessing he got a bigger offer to play somewhere else next year or his

johnnybyu

7:23am

He had already proved himself in his prior 4 seasons at Holy Cross. Going 3-0 at

cwilke1

7:27am

I don't think he's good enough to play at a school that can outbid UNLV - that's what I'm saying. It feels

mokelembembe

7:28am

His rushing numbers are pretty good

Goliath

7:19am

Had the same thought especially because they deduct sack yardage in college. He also has 7 total TDs to only 1 turnover.

RootieBoy

7:21am

A huge problem with college football and NIL are these agents. The firms are

BYUheaven

7:22am

Agree but he is probably getting professional advice in that there is an agent

johnnybyu

7:27am

Didn't realize he had just quit on his team

Goliath

7:22am

My $1200 Wahoo kickr that is only a couple of years old is dead.

WhirleyPop

7:08am

Lesson learned. Stop exercising, and this will not happen again

Nikomedes

7:17am

Dang. I love my Wahoo Kickr, I hope it doesn’t die this winter. What did yours do or start doing or did it just stop

Swag Kazekage

7:22am

It won't read any speed, power or cadence info. Looks like some electronics

WhirleyPop

7:27am

There's got to be some big shot defense attorney unlv grad to pitch in with NIL.

momowagon

7:04am

Not about UNLV, player's value increased after 3 games and with redshirt rule he

johnnybyu

7:05am

So UNLV’s season hangs in the balance by a player extorting

Archaea

7:07am

One of the many unintended consequences of NIL and now the redshirt rule

johnnybyu

7:08am

Is he extorting or did UNLV not

Jdoc

7:19am

He demanded more

Archaea

7:23am

The rule should be modified, not removed.

Icelandic Cougar

7:09am

For one, you can use the redshirt year, but it doesn't transfer to a new school

volleyjiver

7:20am

The problem here is you aren't requiring the company to pay the NIL.

bald man

7:11am

BYU gets 1.5M viewers in the middle of the nignt

Indy Coug Loquacious Lummox

6:51am

Not a high bar to clear for FS1 at 10am

threezeroeight

6:54am

Looks like FS1 in general sucks for viewership.

kaladin58

7:01am

Hate how he says MI USC tops- look at channel and time. Granted they would do

SBB

6:55am

6M for a football game is crazy good.

RGGeemer

7:16am

I’m not saying it’s not.

SBB

7:25am

Pretty crazy we pulled in almost as many eyeballs as Notre Dame.

byujacob

6:56am

FS1 numbers are not good. The time slot we play Baylor in got 195K last week.

fbguru

6:58am

But BYU wasn't playing in it.

LSUcougar92

7:03am

None of the FS1 numbers were good.

fbguru

7:27am

Colorado still pulling big numbers.

Tokolosh

6:59am

Entertainment value. Even when they aren't great, its still Prime Time

LSUcougar92

7:04am

We talk a lot of tv number smack. Let’s see. Utah has the late night time slot

Yukon

7:00am

Part of it also depends on the game. Had byus game. People go to bed

cougarfann888

7:01am

I'd guess they'll be right about the same

RGGeemer

Crazy how many fans think that just because the time slot BYU will play in was

byujacob INSUFFERABLE KNOW IT ALL

6:50am

What about Sony's next big thing, Concord?

BigTex

7:26am

Is there any way this affects college basketball recruiting? We're battling UNLV

Mostlyaccurate

6:45am

I think football has always been UNLV’s red headed stepchild, so I’m not sure it will affect anything

Indy Coug

6:48am

Man, my brain can’t even comprehend us getting this guy and AJ.

UNLVcougar

6:56am

Probably depends on the real story and if this kid’s parents are connected to

wisconsincougs

6:57am

It certainly won't help.

Good morning. The Boston Celtics are still NBA Champions.

Revolution

Is it?

pink22

6:36am

Edited OP for clarity.

Revolution

6:37am

There’s nothing I respect more than a player quitting on his team mid season

Indy Coug Loquacious Lummox

6:31am

The only team that will accept him is some team

Archaea

6:34am

It's one thing for a salesman to get his company and not expect much

bald man

6:35am

CFB is a team sport run by people who are not good at being on a team. Like life

bruincoug

6:35am

Daaaang So-crates! That was DEEP!

LeftOfNormal

6:53am

Yes, but also shame on the school for making promises and then voiding on them

Mostlyaccurate

6:38am

Maybe. We don’t know the other side of the story

Iman23

6:39am

He shouldn’t have demanded more mid season.

Archaea

6:47am

We don't know if that's true. The local reports have a strong incentive to lie

Mostlyaccurate

6:54am

Inside reports are confirming that.

Archaea

6:55am

Its what makes the most sense. His value increased mid year and now he is trying

johnnybyu

7:00am

If we're assuming it's entirely NIL, how/ when do you propose he "demand" more?

wickedgame71

6:57am

He already got his degree.

Archaea

6:58am

Is that what happened or is he getting a better offer to go somewhere else

johnnybyu

6:53am

Why would his offer be contingent on quitting midseason?

Mostlyaccurate

6:54am

Because 4 games this can be a redshirt year and he gets the year back to make

johnnybyu

Get it in writing.

snowbird

6:46am

Coaches have been doing this for years. Just less obviously.

shoganai

6:54am

I think we are wanting to have our cake and eat it too.

Courtimedes

7:01am

Oh, 100% fans are hypocrites about this.

shoganai

7:11am

This is true, will happen with players more however since they only have 4 years

johnnybyu

7:02am

This isn't a case of quiet quitting. It's just plain quitting.

bythenumbers

7:10am

There's a very easy solution to this, but the fans keep loudly complaining that

shoganai

7:20am

How? Head hunters lure employees away all the time to other employers

DiamondMo

7:23am

Sure, but you would have contractual protections.

Courtimedes

7:25am

Yeah exactly. I think that's where it has to go.

bythenumbers

7:25am

Mmk. But those coaches had actually done something worthy of a promotion. Look

If he isn't good then it shouldn't be a big deal that anybody cares about.

Charles Darwin

6:06am

Won't that require the end of Title IX?

Courtimedes

6:55am

I’m sure they will do enough to comply in terms of scholarships

Charles Darwin

7:01am

Well for now, players should ask for money up front or in escrow accounts

Gustav

College football leadership made this bed themselves. I hope they enjoy it!

shoganai

You wonder how many times this has happened where the school just pays up?

dYrtbYkerYder

6:20am

Personally, I wonder how many times a coach has done this. "Quiet quit" when

Tuberville did it. Now he's my senator :(.

VinnyBYU

kaladin58

Different runners for different situations. Always need at least 2.

Soupie

5:45am

Agreed but still want Moa to start while we establish the run

kaladin58

That's good, but I'd rather see Moa and Huanga. I think I've seen enough from Ropati

Moa/Haunga/Ropati is a great rotation.

No way Moa doesn’t start after his TD run.

Where would BYU be ranked if AP voters paid attention to the outcomes of games?

7FootRussian

It's more when people with a job to do admit they didn't stay up late and do it.

bythenumbers

The number he wanted was absurd.

Archaea

Why would a bigger school want him to quit midseason?

I think he's almost out of eligibility. Taking a redshirt gives him another
