Do you want salt and pepper with that casserole?

Agreed. Hines highlights are as impressive as anyone we have had. He is a beast and will make a huge impact before his career is over.

Hine might be 26 by the time he finishes his eligibility at BYU. Crazy.

Just finished the latest True Blue. Ty and Lavell's cracks on Steve Young were awesome.

I hope I'm proven totally wrong and forced to eat a casserole made from my posts on the subject, but I'm a bit skeptical about whether Hine will make a huge impact - at least at running back. His video looks to me like he runs very high and doesn't show much lower body agility. He's fast, but no faster than, for example, Diluigi. And he has a build that looks to me like he's not going to go much over 200 pounds, if that big. His high jumping ability is nice and suggests one category of athleticism but sort of has limited application on the football field.

I think he's got the right build for a WR though or a move to safety. But here's to him becoming a superstar RB and joining the pantheon of Cougar greats.

In my experience, guys who can really high jump have underrated explosiveness. All of them look like they are moving without effort when in reality they are being very explosive. It is a necessary thing when you are doing the flop at the greater heights. I suspect Hine is a more explosive athlete than people give him credit for. That said, I have not idea what he will play at the Y. I just have strong belief that he will play well and be very athletic.

Depends - am I supposed to enjoy it?

Maybe there are some highlights I missed but I saw at least three different sets and saw who was fast but who won't outrun DBs, won't run low enough or weigh enough to be too dangerous between the tackles and whose big gains typically depended on getting an edge that he won't be fast enough to get against Texas or Notre Dame. But I'm sure he'll high jump a few cats into the end zone, which will be awesome.

Also - my expectations here apply to him as a RB - I think he could great as a DB or a WR.

And again - hope I'm wrong and I'll be back here to get pelted with virtual fruit if I am.

Have you seen this highlight?

What's the deal with Stout? I knew he was RS'ing, but I thought it was just to get him some separation from the rest of the LBers in the program. I read on CB this morning that he's RSing because of an injury to his knee and will be having surgery.

Anyone know what's going on?

I have never purchased one of the BYU slogan shirts for any of the prior seasons, so I don't think I will start now.

Although "Rise Up" is pretty cool.

I would have definitely bought one if the slogan was

"Rise Up, Gather Round Rock this place to the ground Burn it up, let's go for broke Watch the Night Go Up in Smoke"

Ross Apo has 100 pairs of shoes.

Also, this chick could not be more earnest when she says "I'd love to see your closet of shoes..."

Contrast that with this interview she does of JJ. She barely cracks a smile until half way through.

that girl is a groupie. Im pretty sure Ross Apo is doing more than watching game film and working out now.

I'm willing to bet she's spent the last 2 months living at Gold's Gym.

Also staking out any place in the mall that sells shoes.
