KVN Thread

Thanks for the memories.

If you had a chance to listen to the press conference you got to hear a humble guy deflect each and every question or comment directed as his outstanding play. What a game. What a stud. You will be missed, KVN.

(Bronco also joked that at least for once Kyle caught a ball that hit him in the hands. Nice to hear Bronco loosen up a bit for a change).

Easily my favorite player over the last 5 years or so.

Good luck KVN.

Yeah, I don't think I had ever heard him speak before. My expectations were based off his tweets/fb posts and so were, well, not too high. But he came across as articulate, humble, and very likable. I wish my kid had been awake to see him--he's his favorite player. Mine too, really.

The other part of the story that I really love about him (and I shared with my wife, who was similarly impressed) is what happened when he got into trouble. He must have had plenty of offers to ditch BYU. With the Dallas Cowboys tragedy in the news, it makes me all the more proud of both him and the program.

Did he announce he is going to the NFL?

I expect him to do so, but still hold out a glimmer of hope that he won't.

But I'm afraid this game was God's way of telling him to go. He was telling Kyle "you can't top this, so it's time to go"...

KVN didn't sound all that positive about going pro, and Bronco made a detailed plea for him to stay, saying he wasn't quite mature enough yet and there were a lot of things left for him to learn that he could best achieve at BYU.

IMO, KVN should go, next year's defense will not likely top this year's D. There's not a whole lot of upside for staying and a whole lot of downside.

He was awesome last night, and has been for his whole career. He will be missed.

[Cougarmandias]

God bless him, he was one of the greats.

Of course Bronco would say that.

[USUC]

Of course Bronco would say that.

A coach wouldn't be doing his job unless he tried to get his best players to play for him as long as possible.

[Indy Coug]

I don't care what's in KVN's best interest, I want him at BYU as long as possible because it makes them a better team.

[New Mexican Disaster]

I don't care what's in KVN's best interest, I want him at BYU as long as possible because it makes them a better team.

I care a lot more about KVN's interest than I do about what will already be a crappy team next year.

All the more reason to have him on the team to reduce the level of suckitude.

Word is Kyle Van Noy/LB/BYU got 3rd round grade; consensus from league insiders is he should enter draft for a # of reasons- could go 1st

Further; scouts say based off the Poinsettia Bowl both Kyle Van Noy and Ziggy Ansah are 1st rounders...Brandon Brown/T a 3rd...
