Was just watching Jazz highlights on ESPN and at the end they said, "Where's The Jimmer? There he is!"

Thurl and Alema had him on the halftime set for an interview. Also, his gf was rocking polyg hair.

I see we have a CUF member or three doing some nice work over there. I always thought Babs was a dry Mormon.

Tune in Saturday for Jimmer features on College Gameday. TJ will be airing a remix of Amazing.

Also ESPNU will air their All Access show on Feb 23rd.

I love this ESPN deal.

Jimmer is big time. Now he's hitting the tabloids.

Eric is glemonade over on CougarBoard. He has been sitting behind me for about 3 or 4 years now and is one of the student section regulars that leads the students in chants, cheers, and everything else. I give him high props as a basketball and BYU fan. He has a few buddies that always sit with him who I really like as well but I don't know them

Eric story, he got picked from the crowd to do the layup-layup-three-pointer deal for cash. Kid is about 6' but elevated nicely on his first lay-up and got his dunk on. Gotta love that. I told him that if I ever got called up to do that deal I would dunk the first, dunk the second and then throw the ball into the crowd so no one would have to watch me try and put a 3 pointer down at the MC. He gave it a valiant effort and showed his skills instead.

While reading through this thread I was suddenly reminded of a previous thread on attendance at "historic" events. I'm guessing that 5 years from now about 100,000 people will claim to have been there the night Jimmer went viral.

I demand a recount!!!

Forde Minutes: Chaos theory reigns supreme in college basketball landscape - ESPN acknowledges Jimmer is as big as the Fab Four combined...

Jimmer Fredette (34) getting the Beatles treatment.

For some reason, both drew criticism from some locales. Excessive celebration, they were called. In truth, both were wholly appropriate.

Years ago, after an epidemic of questionable court stormings from student sections, The Minutes established clear and firm guidelines for when it was permissible to rush the floor.

Indiana violated the rules last week after beating Illinois -- interestingly enough, five years after a similar Hoosiers violation that followed an upset of the Illini. But what really got some people sideways was Coach Crean making an impromptu appearance in the Assembly Hall concourse to revel with the students.

The common line of thinking: It was beneath the IU coach to act so giddy after the kind of victory the Hoosiers once enjoyed twice a month with far less fanfare.

The Minutes line of thinking: Celebrate away, Tom. Enjoy it with the young people who bring the energy and passion to your games. It was a great, inclusive, appreciative gesture.

It's OK to have fun in college basketball -- especially when Indiana has had almost no fun at all for several years. If you want to know how much the Hoosiers faithful and their ambitious coach have suffered, that video explains it.

When BYU's students hit the floor in Provo after the Cougars beat San Diego State (36), shots were immediately fired via Twitter. How can you storm the court when you were favored? And who storms the court for beating San Diego State?

Fact is, the historically humble Aztecs were unbeaten and ranked in the top five. And if you're BYU, how many opportunities have you ever had to celebrate like this? How often do you have players like The Jimmer?

He is their espresso, their six-pack, their buzz. Let 'em binge on The Jimmer.

Forde Minutes: Chaos theory reigns supreme in college basketball landscape - ESPN acknowledges Jimmer is as big as the Fab Four combined...

From that same article, where Forde is discussing double-digit variances in AP top 25 ballots, this made me LOL:

Utah State (21). High of 14, low of unranked. AP: 22. Minutes comment: Lots of wins (20, in fact). None of them worth noting.

Back to Jimmerphilia, it seems like Jimmer's image graces the front page of ESPN's B-ball site about every other day. He's there again today.

Also, PTI discussed Jimmer vs. Jared for POY in Toss up! Tony opted for Jimmer noting he can score from anywhere anytime and that Jimmer is one of his New York boys. Wilbon argued that Sullinger is the best known player on the only undefeated team.

Also, Kornheiser talked a lot of Jimmer with Pat Forde and John "Junior" Feinstein on his radio show on Friday. Podcasts can be found here. Just scroll down to the first and second hours of January 28.

ESPN College hoops tweeted today

#Jimmer had the best January scoring avg. (32.4 PPG) of the past decade. Prior No. 1 Henry Domercant w/ 31.6 in 2002. No. 3 was Morrison.

Best scoring month in a decade? Nicely done The Jimmer.

Best month in a decade or the best January?

Julio (Memphis)

NPOY is the Jimmers to lose right ?

Pat Forde (2:30 PM)

Julio: For the moment, yes. But Sullinger and Kemba still in the mix, and someone else may jump into the picture over the next month.

Brad (Columbus, OH)

Forde - besides Jimmer...who would you take to shoot a last second three pointer to win it all?

Pat Forde (2:34 PM)

Brad: Kemba. He's done some clutch shooting this year.
