Shooting at the walls of heartache! Bang! Bang! Cougs v. The Warriors

[San Juan Sun]

gtfo and leave me alone on my ledge. This is my ledge and I can be out here if I want!

Are you on the ledge for attention, or are you actually wanting the bystanders to yell "Jump!"?

FTR, I'm a mess too. I'm excited for the probably shortlived Taysom Hill Era, and I'm considering a road trip to Las Cruces, NM to watch us play NM freaking State. I don't know where my head is at.

I wish you would jump off of that ledge my friend
You could swan dive, face first, into the pavement
and if by some miracle you live through it
you can jump agaaaaain, you can jump again.

Ha!! I knew you had to be high!

[Moliere]

that has already been discussed. And it will work!

Link?

Maybe we'll find out now. I do find it amusing that for all of the fanfare about the OL slimming down, the latest moves appear in part to be an effort to get more weight on the field as Vaitai and Anae are both over 310 pounds.

Yes, it is a bit amusing. It is a shift toward heavier guys. One of the interesting things Jake Kuresa said this week on radio was that this year's line is weak. He suggested that this year's line is much weaker than most BYU lines. For example, he mentioned that almost no one on that line benches over 400. Of course, the bench is not a sufficient statistic for strength but it's not irrelevant and it is correlated with overall strength. And, maybe, Kuresa is wrong about the strength issue. But if he is right, I do wonder if one of consequences of the emphasis on slim down was not only some loss of strength for most of the lineman but also (and more importantly) favoring guys that were lighter and unfortunately weaker.

switching centers...what could go wrong?

New center and freshman QB?

We need more Travis Brights.

Ya, he was a mean prick and loved to mix it up.

These guys are a bunch of nancies.

I'm fine switching the center. What kind of college lineman lets himself get down to 250? That's like a D3 sized center. Shame on him.

[Surfah]

We need more Travis Brights.

We need more John Taits.

[Joe Public]

We need more cowbell!

For those to whom it matters, it looks like this game is not subject to blackout on ESPN3.

Only not blacked out for west coast. I would post the link, except VBulletin tries to turn it into a video.

Thanks. That didn't used to work for ESPN links. Always drove me crazy.

Here's the blackout map:

It seems the blackout map link disappears if one is in the area not subject to blackout. Thanks for the clarification.

Not a surprise but here is Wrubell's tweet:

Bronco Mendenhall tells me Taysom Hill gets the start tonight; says Riley Nelson needs "a break" to get his back better.
