Brigham Young Breakdowns
I decided to go to the BYU game at the last minute and I wasn't disappointed. The first quarter and a half was necessary and cathartic for this team. BYU came to win and had a solid defensive gameplan and granite personnel up front. Our offense took their best shot, regrouped and then put on an...
David Ash Is Your New American Idol -- Give Luck Its Due
Everyone who has ever played a team sport knows that you cannot sabermetric everything. There comes a time on every team where a player makes or breaks a reputation for reliability, capability, and inspiration. If the player steps up and makes a play – or achieves an unlikely result – then the...
Texas-BYU Preview: Scouting The Cougar Offense
BYU's offense went through a period of extended putridity last year. After seven games, the Cougars were 2-5, averaging less than 15 points per game and a fan base accustomed to lighting up score boards was lighting up Salt Lake City talk radio with such incendiary language as "This freaking...
Texas-BYU Preview: Scouting The Cougar Defense
Our offense against their defense is the key to the game and will be an excellent proving ground for a young Texas team. I'm glad we didn't see them in Week 1. The Cougars make up for a lack of team speed with size, physicality, scheme, and experience and we're going to see a brand of football...
Dan Beebe Responds to AM's Letter
No joke here. "The letter received today from Texas A&M president R. Bowen Loftin will be addressed by the Big 12 Conference Board of Directors," he said. "It remains our strong desire for Texas A&M to continue as a member of the Big 12 and we are working toward that end. However, if it is decided...
BYU Goes Independent in Football
After watching its bitter in-state rival hit the BCS lottery with an invitation to the Pac-10, BYU wasted little time in making a dramatic move of their own. The Cougars are leaving the Mountain West and going independent football-only in the fall of 2011. The Western Athletic Conference has...
The Eyes of Matt Carlino Are Upon You
Matt Carlino scored 19 points during just his fourth collegiate game Tuesday against Cal State-San Marcos. It was the latest in a string of high-scoring performances, but BYU fans aren't impressed by the points alone; they are excited at the way those points are coming. Example: as BYU still...
C-USA Weekly
What's going on everyone? As I previously mentioned, the guys at C-USA Weekly have asked me to come on every now and then as a guest host. This past Sunday we recorded a test show to see how the new format would work out. It actually turned out real well, and I've decided to post the test show here...
Football with the Old Man
As some of you know, I lost my dad back in November. With fall camp starting this week, I've thought a lot about him. Much of that is because he died at the tail end of the 2010 football season. In fact, his health woes started the Saturday Utah played Notre Dame and he eventually passed the Sunday...
The Mountain West/WAC and the BCS.
This line of thought is getting pretty damn ridiculous. It comes up every few months. Some blowhard spouts out off abut how the Mountain West is more deserving of a BCS bid than the Big East and/or the ACC. Usually that person has a novel approach to the issue, they don't just regurgitate...
