    Five bowl games, and it's still a slow sports day . . . . I hereby direct a "Grr", not toward you, but toward college football in general.

      Geez. Man up. It was a nice dunk. Good for him.

        It was a nice dunk. I thought the Davies dunk on the inbound was at least as equally impressive. Both came out of nowhere and both showed quite a bit of athleticism.

          I was told by the AD types that they get BYU fans/donors out to the ESA games that don't make it to Provo and the result is increased donations.

              Davies on the inbound, was a better dunk and a better play overall.

                Don't be offended, it is the time of the month. JL has a "number of chasizements" goal per month. If he is short on his goal, he goes into overdrive the last couple of days.

                  that would make sense. I wonder if they take a hit for the cost of the building, only to recuperate it later through donations, or if enough fans show up to pay for the building. It seemed like the crowd was sparse yesterday.

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

                    I don't know. All season ticket packages include the SLC games so I bet they get a large "floor" in revenue. Also, the games have a later arriving crowd because the parking is more difficult so it often looks worse at the beginning. I was asked to put butts into 14 season ticket seats yesterday and only got 10 filled so I know turnout is somewhat lower.

                      Easy there, old feller. I was teasing blueinthethinskinface for downplaying a member of the home team.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
