POLL: Big 12 teams most likely to become blue bloods

2FarGone No One of Consequence

12:02pm

Honestly, none are likely.

Blueto

12:03pm

None of the above

I love IT

Anyone remember Cougar Rental? I used to spend hours there at the per-hour game stations.

POLL: Sanderson Characters ... Eland (spoilers)

Xenon

11:56am

I totally agree with you. He is my least favorite Mistborn character.

YSMACK

11:57am

I thought he started out very weak and took a long time to get going but had a decent growth arc to do well in the end.

PROBcoug

11:59am

I thought the opposite. I thought he started out interesting & became annoying.

YSMACK

I was cheering for Texas yesterday. I thought Texas should’ve been called for

Anybody remember Sounds Easy Pizza in Orem?

cougarblue All-American

11:50am

My neighbor owned it. Great guy. Two businesses that are hard to make a buck in though.

jvr7

Yep but not Orem in Provo on 500 W next to Albertsons.

This was a big hangout when I was in HS. Used to make the run down there to

Ode to Hoy

Loved it. We we would go every Friday and bring home a movie. I really liked the pizza but I was also very young.

byuluvr

The one in Provo was great. I used to get EZ Bread all the time and play the arcade games while I waited for it to cook.

AltTabbins

11:59am

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

Trading in fewer plays for more commercials.

benny1982

11:51am

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

The Pope

11:49am

Defenses have just gotten so much better. Rarely do you see recievers wide open and that was commonplace in the 90s

Crazy Joe Davola

11:50am

True. Defenses have really adapted, especially going clear back to the Detmer years and beyond.

IdahoCoug

11:50am

I'd love to see the stats. My guess is that it has more to do with BYU playing a stronger schedule so our numbers are

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

I no longer am in AZ and don’t have those old bills around but summer months (May to Sept) we would have frequent bills

JohnnyComeLately

11:51am

Wow, our AZ home (~2k sqft) would top out at ~~$270-300/month; ~$2k/year

BYU'01

12:02pm

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

So less of a slam dunk in Utah? My Utah County electrician bill averages $60

Florwood

11:57am

I would have installed solar by now but every sales guy wants to charge 9000% mark up to maximize their commission. So

WDaddy

11:50am

Paid $10k after rebates and saving about $120/month on average.

That claim is accurate but poorly worded, it comes down to

IdahoCoug

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

Some of these games will be TNT/max next year.

rcbyufan

11:56am

max? I thought it was just TNT

CrashMcLarson

11:58am

My understanding is simulcast. So you don't need Max if you have TNT (and TBS?)

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

grandpacoug

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

Adrielle

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

I don’t think so. And not even viewers

Magneto

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

coug10278

Kids should have every Friday off.

ATX

Adults, too. But we’ll never get that unless progressives are in power.🙂

Brisco

11:52am

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

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

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 defensable. 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.

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

SPOILER SUMMARY: Astronaut crosses space, time, metaphysics, and reality itself

spoxjox

11:57am

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

Oh he definitely milked it. Maybe even more than Kyle or Sitake did

byuTX

11:54am

I watched the game. There's no "maybe" about it.

Ghost of Peanut

byuTX

11:58am

"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 can't be done pre-kick because nobody can predict before the ball is kicked whether or not it will be returned.

SingleStrapBackpack

11:50am

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

Ghost of Peanut

11:46am

Maybe that's the primary purpose, but the people running downfield can see it, too, and that is what Bielema is talking

SingleStrapBackpack

11:51am

He needs to coach his guys better cause it's not a signal to his guys.

Ghost of Peanut

11:55am

It has come to mean that as sort of a gentleman's agreement through practice though

byuTX

11:57am

Find it in the rule book. Bielema has a duty to coach his players, and his

Ghost of Peanut

12:01pm

It's a signal to everyone and most of the return team blockers aren't looking back to the returner

byuTX

11:55am

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

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

byujacob INSUFFERABLE KNOW IT ALL

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

Johnny Vatos

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

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

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

Texas winning is never the best of any world.

But ND, Georgia, or tOSU is? LOL

WDaddy

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

They’re the reason BYU’s in the Big 12. GO TEXAS

CougfromtheSouth

He graduated and works for the Savannah Bananas / podcast stuff

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