    Spencer Toone, Ray Holdcraft. Utah's had a few of them in the last 10 years.

      Are you going to BYU's, or Utah's? Either way, you should keep the board (i.e. me) updated. I'd love to meet you and chat about football.

                    No fair. BYU won't have ANY conference losses next year, guaranteed.

                    Which begs the question: With no conference games, does EVERY game matter, or NONE of them?

                    I'm going with the latter.

                      I may have heard the same interview. It is interesting that with Blechen as an LB, alongside a more experienced Martinez and Walker, and potentially getting back JJ Williams, the radio guys were talking about LB being a strength next season. I hope so.

                        Notably, you say nothing about your resemblance to a miserable vomitous mass.

                          Interesting interview with Harvey Langi. Seems (kind of surprisingly) pretty mature to me. I'm impressed. His candor (about how much faster and more complex D1 football is) was interesting too.

                            Derek Shelby has regained his step if not his full speed yet.

                            The Krugers look beastly.

                            Wynn not involved yet.

                              Did you get to watch practice? It was rumored that Wynn would be participating in everything but throwing drills(not necessarily tidY, but spring camp in general)

                                Ben Bagley said that Shawn Asiata is gone.

                                Tyler Shreve has a rocket arm but struggled with his accuracy (to be expected).

                                Griff Robles struggled with his accuracy and lacks the arm strength of Shreve.

                                That JC running back he said is tiny. White I believe. He emphasized Tiny about 5 times.

                                Luke Matthews is the number 1 running back on the depth chart right now, switching from WR. (Yikes!)

                                Derek Shelby like KL said looks 100% and had a great first day.
