Also, what happens on the trail spills over into the regular season...coaches sniping recruits from other schools, coaches getting into trouble, players de-comitting, etc...there is a lot of good backstory in the off-season that helps shape regular season storylines.
    My wife calls it man-gossip and will occasionally ask what the latest man-gossip is.

      Agreed. Besides, it's always fun to say 'scoreboard' in February when you haven't said it since November.

        I suspect that KL's friendship is reserved for humble, yet highly intelligent folks who have a razor sharp wit and look great in spandex. Since it appears that there is sudden interest in being friends with Katylied, I suggest that PAC receive all friendship applications (including spandex pics,) and a nominating committee commence to review the applications and submit recommendations to Katy for final approval.

        Note to PAC: I will personally have a live steer of our best variety and finest finish shipped to your local butcher if you float me a favor here.

          I can't think of any lists that would receive me with a picture of me in spandex.

          • This thread confirms my analysis that KL may be the smartest person here. One little sentence and look at all of the people begging to be her friend.

              Her signature line seems very appropriate right now.

                I aspire to have as many friends as Rosebud does.

                I also apologize for snapping at DDD. My nephew gets home in 2 weeks and after working his rear end off his freshman year (but not really making a game impact) and serving a mission honorably, the family is worried about there not being a scholarship for him. So I get impatient when kids treat these precious scholarships so cavalierly and commend Bronco for making them responsible.

                  I realize that my last couple of comments are maybe getting a bit, um, questionable, and I worry about going too far here, but I was talking to my dad last night on the phone about this and when it comes right down to it the kids from Kahuku are not exactly an impressive lot. I know that is kind of a harsh and stereotypical comment to make, but on the whole, that school and the quality of kids it turns out leaves much to be desired.
                  Are you from the islands Gracie? I assumed you were a either a native Washingtonian or Utite?

                      It didn't work out for me yet.

                        No, my mom is, and we did live there for a time (my two siblings next closest in age were born there). All my extended family on her side is still there (including my auntie who went to Kahuku ).

                          Who are they going to give his scholarship to? The OL from Washington whose only D1 offer was BYU?

                            Admit what? Something that neither you nor I could possibly know? You are always so certain of things yet have no basis for your arguments. I would hate to have you as my representation.

                              I know what you're really asking is whether Polys are less honest in their committments than other races. That is a hard question. It depends. Another post.
                              Honestly, I am not asking that. If I have a stereotype of Poly's it would be they love their families very much and love the church. Sometimes perhaps when they are on their own to make a big decision that love prevents them from expressing the inner feelings. Like, I want some freedom. They don't want to dissapoint family and members. It has to be quite a conflict.

                              I think they are expected to show up at BYU and if someone mentions they felt the spirit, they need to respond in kind. It is their duty.

                              Ngata did the dance. I think he was caught up in the moment. I have been to pentacostal church meeting where I see the same thing.

                              To each their own. Some people love the prayers were answered, special feeling, football is number 5 stuff when they read about these kids. I like to read they think BYU can be good and why as a football player they will help make BYU good. Those are the kids I think will sign for sure LOI day.

                                That is nice, but honestly you owe me no apology. You were just speakin' your mind. Plus, who amongst us hasn't told Triplet to be quiet?

                                If you want to read some cruel comments directed my way, you need to bone up on history and become a student of SeattleUte's posts. Also, YOhio.
