    I guess BYU and Utah draw clicks/eyeballs so it makes sense to write about stuff that will pays the bills. But I still think it’s funny (bemusing?).
    Isn't Wilner the guy SU always quoted to prove everyone was wrong about the trouble the Pac 12 was in during the two years prior to its demise?

        Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

            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."

                I mean, it takes some really bad grades to not get USU to accept you

                My son is up there and loves it. It's not the toughest place academically but he likes his program and is learning a lot. I do worry about him getting placed in a job after he graduates but that's still at least 18 months out.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                  That's great. I hope she has a fantastic experience.

                      This will surely solve everything.

                              I am hoping for either Robert Anae or Jeff Grimes.
