The Official 2025 BYU Football Thread

[falafel]

Just over lunch my Ute coworker was saying 100% Sitake is gone. I put it at 25% him leaving. They could not fathom why "anyone" would want to stay at BYU, lol.

Ask them why Kyle didn't take the Tennessee job

So do we all celebrate by going to Crumbl Cookies tonight?

I'm switching back to Nutricost creatine from Orgain, so Min Kim's company should see a much-deserved spike in revenue.

Love this shot of Kalani telling the team he's staying. Dude has the love and respect of his players [TWEET]https://x.com/JackDamuni/status/1996...6488874/[TWEET]

In the IPF no less. Looks like they were able to work things out with the frisbee team.

I just read the email BYU sent out on it.

Check back on Saturday.

Man, the ute fan meltdown on X yesterday and today is a thing to behold.

Their tears are bitter yet, delicious to me.

What's really funny is the dollar figure being thrown about will double, then triple in the next few days as the yewts continue their meltdown.

I think the Penn State job is a good one -- other than the fact they just fired a guy who went 10-3 last year. The problem was Penn State was becoming a punchline with respect to never winning a big game. I think would have been a terrible fit for Kalani. But I think there's room for success in the Big Ten which I view as a huge step down competition-wise from the SEC. IMO, the Big Ten is much closer to the Big 12 talent-wise than the SEC. Michigan doesn't have Harbaugh anymore and then you're left with Ohio State. I don't want to say it's like 1990s FSU playing in the ACC, the Big Ten is better than that, but if you ranked the top 10 teams between the SEC and Big Ten, the SEC would have at least 7 of them.

that and the school (Penn State) harbors pedophiles.

This is our beloved coach, pay him.

This is such BS.

Other than offending delicate ute fans, what on earth is the problem with donors/alumni supporting BYU sports at a level commensurate with other big programs?

Thank you for confirming that this bothers you. I will make sure to avoid this topic of discussion going forward.

Does the Ryder Lyons thing worry anyone? Not sure if this means anything.

[Green Monstah]

There have been rumblings that Oregon and USC are back in the mix.

This is why its really dumb to get too excited about recruiting. Under today's NIL hellscape, nobody is signed until they are truly signed, and even then they are only locked in for a year. IF they flop, they will probably enter the portal. If they kill it, they will probably demand more money and/or enter the portal.

I'll worry until the signature is in. Then I'll worry until he is back on campus.

In the meantime, Will Snowden, who apparently works with Ryder as part of a recruiting agency, says to BYU fans that they can relax-- just ironing out a few details in a contract. Which sounds a lot like what Penn State was told, so take that for what it's worth.
