Mike Loyd leaving BYU?

[Donuthole]

I'm just reminding you of the state of your program. I feel partly responsible for the 1-25 fiasco because I was asked to come out and help the program but I was busy.

lol!

It was 1-26.

Lets make a bet, I bet BYUs recruiting class wins more games in their careers than utahs.

Well, now, that isn't quite fair since we'll be playing against the PAC-10, while you'll be playing against the MWC.

You are right, the MWC was clearly better than the Pac-10 this year.

1-25 was 14 years ago. BYU has won 20 or more games in all 5 years Dave Rose has been coach, they have a .760 winning percentage since he became head coach. That is the 5th most wins in NCAA history among head coaches in their first 5 years.

After Keena Young left everyone said BYUs short run was over. Yet they still won.

Then Plaisted left early and BYU was done. Kept on winning.

Cummard leaves and we hear that they have no go to guy. What do they do? Break the school record for wins.

Now we will hear about how much they will suck after Jimmer leaves, but I guarantee you they continue to win.

Did anyone really say that BYU was in trouble by losing Plaisted?

Tens of thousands of people did. Wake up and pay attention.

Yes, lack of post presence a lot of haters said that BYU would become to perimeter oriented.

I did, for one. On paper the Plaistead class was BYU's best recruiting class since Durrant-Roberts. I've been expecting BYU to hit a wall. It's only a matter of time. Fredette and Lloyd gave them a reprieve.

I've been around the block enough times to know better. I think the last time I said BYU was going to struggle because a certain player had finished his college career was Ty Detmer. Ground glass isn't particularly appetizing.

Didn't they become more perimeter oriented,though. I also seem to recall posts this last season expressing concerns about BYU's bigs.

Obviously, none of these things prevented the Cougs from taking 2nd place or from finally getting out of the first round the big dance.

Translation: "I predict BYU to suck every year. If I predict it often enough, i'm bound to be right eventually."

Maybe some new info, although it doesn't appear to have been critical in Loyd's departure.

That's odd if Rose really didn't know anything about this because I did.

According to the police report obtained by The Tribune through a Government Records Access Management Act (GRAMA) request, Loyd was just a few blocks from the South Jordan police station in southwest Salt Lake County in a gray Dodge Charger at around 5 a.m. on Jan. 4 when he waved down a police officer and asked for directions to Interstate 15.

The officer had previously noticed Loyd's vehicle parked along the side of the road and ran a check on his Nevada license plates. He discovered that the owner, Loyd, had two outstanding warrants for unpaid speeding tickets with the Provo Police Department.

While the first officer was checking to see if Provo police wanted to serve the warrants, a second officer arrived on the scene and said he smelled alcohol and marijuana.

A sobriety test determined that Loyd was not legally intoxicated, but a K-9 unit was brought in from Draper to sniff for the marijuana, and a small baggie containing a "green, leafy substance" was found in the center console.

And you thought this kind of stuff only happened in Utah County. The story doesn't say whether or not Lloyd was in the car when the first officer "noticed his car parked on the side of the road and ran the plates". What reason did he have to run the plates initially? Because they were out of state? Was he parked illegally? Maybe the officer saw a black man with out of state plates and decided to run them? Who knows. But then the first officer gets backup (for a guy who came to HIM asking for directions mind you) and the second guy notices the smell of ETOH and marijuana? Kid passes the breathalyzer? Bring in the K-9 unit! Congrats South Jordan PD on the discovery of a small baggie containing a green, leafy substance. I wonder if a white driver would have had his (I'm guessing less than 1 oz judging by the fine) pot discovered at all. My guess is a white driver would have received directions to I-15.

South Jordan is basically an extension of Utah County.

Yeah, sounds like profiling to me. But it's sort of funny that Loyd would actually approach the officer and ask for directions after drinking and with pot in his car, though. How the hell do you get lost and not know how to get to I-15 when you're in South Jordan?
