    I know the guy in the photo with the #10 shirt on. I'm going to send him the link.

    Knock it off. This board has enough problems without a dose of middle-age lechery.

      BYU is treated like the establishment, rich in basketball pedigree.
      I always get a kick out of uninformed quotes such as these. In what parallel universe does BYU have a rich basketball pedigree?

        One where BYU is the Duke of the West. I feel like the guys in "Animal House" when others were questioning Bluto's grasp of history "Don't stop them man, they are on a roll!"

        I'm choosing to mostly ignore your fatuity here and instead overwhelm you with so much data that you'll maybe, just maybe, realize that you have reams to read on this subject before you can contribute meaningfully to any conversation on this topic.

          Kind of like when they used to always talk about BYU football as a "disciplined team".

            I think we hear more of that in reference to the Air Force Academy football team now more than BYU. (See Mckay Jacobson's grey matter-splatter as an example of just how ridiculous that claim really is)

              Good... now maybe people will finally stop calling BYU the "Harvard of the West".
