Rumors of Jimmer's brother rapping before the SDSU game. Has anyone heard this one yet?

jimmermania may have jumped the shark.

BYUs intro music the last two years have been TJ Fredette originals.

They played it last year (UNM game?) when they unfurled those 40 foot tall curtains and projected highlight clips on them.

Playing it as background music during intros is one thing. Having the guy perform the stuff live for the crowd is another.

Given the rich history of the variety and quality of past Marriott Center entertainment, I can see how this might be viewed as a dropoff.

I remember how much I hated it when Tavanari used to chuck it up from out there. I always felt it was a horrible shot. With Jimmer I don't feel that way at all.

If Jimmer desires it... So let it be written! So let it be rapped!

SI was there last night and did a photo shoot after the game. Kelli Anderson is writing a feature on Jimmer that should be in SI soon. Hell yeah. Harmon hinting at cover story in tweets.

Please, no. Not yet, anyway. I'll gladly accept a Jimmer cover story after the NCAA tournament, though.

Legler calls Jimmer an impact player in the NBA and compares him to Steve Nash.

This segment was on while I was at the gym last night so I stopped to watch it. They had actually just got done showing BYU highlights through the first half, and they showed every one of Jimmer's baskets.

Anyway, I recall Legs saying he should be a "niche" player in the league. That with "that kind of range" and being able to get rid of the ball "that fast" he'll be able to find a spot. Also, the comparison to Nash was in his ability to shoot all over the floor off the dribble. He also mentioned that he doesn't have Nash's quickness or command of the ball. That seems pretty fair.

Is it just me...or does TJ Freddette look like the guy who played Nicky Zabatka on The Wire?

TJ reminds me of Quinn from Dexter with his sweaters.

Does this mean they are replacing Black Cat by Janet Jackson? They will rue the day.

I was at the Y when the started it. I could be wrong, as I usually am, but I believe Janet's debut was for a packed house against Utah. The crowd went wild (by dorky BYU standards). The sad part is I left Provo 18 years ago.

Maybe he's going to perform the Sequel to Amazing:

Wrubell's call of Jimmer's bomb last night is pretty funny. "Oh no. Oh YES!"

I wish he'd bring HD Fella out with him so they could perform Buried. Not sure how it'd go over with the MC crowd though...they'd probably prefer to stick with 6 year olds playing a game and SYTYCD solos.
