I'm a resident, so send me your "10 Simple Steps to FOIAing Everything BYU" program and I'll get 'er done. Please wave the charge and I won't be attending the half-day seminar at the local Hampton Inn.Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

As we go for exposure, how important is it that a large number of kids be RM's or even LDS. I think Bronco and the admin. want the number to be high because they are more likely to make it through the 4 years and less likely for an embarassing dismissal.
If we are following the ND model, there should be no other reasons we would care. Does anyone here know how many kids on ND are Catholic or if the QB's are Catholic?

I'm choosing to mostly ignore your fatuity here and instead overwhelm you with so much data that you'll maybe, just maybe, realize that you have reams to read on this subject before you can contribute meaningfully to any conversation on this topic.

Thanks, I should have been paying closer attention. Next year could be the year. Therefor, I would like to see the coaches groom Hill for next year, but whatever they decide to do I fully support them.Originally posted by Goatnapper'96 View PostNext years starters will be this breakdown;

So do I, but if it goes wrong I will then withdraw my support retroactively. That is just how I roll!Originally posted by byu71 View PostThanks, I should have been paying closer attention.

A side bar to this discussion is the fact that the last QB to lead a BYU team to national prominence was a non-RM (Sarkisian). Each member of the BYU QB Trinity are non-RMs (McMahon, Young, Detmer). And the QB who won us our only national championship is a non-RM.Originally posted by Goatnapper'96 View PostNext years starters will be this breakdown;

I don't know, I think that 2001 was pretty prominent - right up until Luke got hurt. Wasn't that team ranked in the top 5 until that visit to Hawaii?Originally posted by Omaha 680 View PostA side bar to this discussion is the fact that the last QB to lead a BYU team to national prominence was a non-RM (Sarkisian).

That said - Doman was not a prototypical BYU QB that season.

Since it sounds like some of you are interested, here is some other documentation.
Georgia Tech, nothing too earth-shattering, except it was actually 2 contracts for 4 games (not sure if that was public or not) and the last 2 games were set up to be cancelled easily:

Here's the Nebraska contract, pretty standard stuff:

Here's the Boise contract, the interesting part is that after BSU joins the Big East they can start cancelling games:

Yes, the GT series was originally announced as a 4-game set.Originally posted by Scratch View PostSince it sounds like some of you are interested, here is some other documentation.
