2020 BYU Cougars Football Thread

This is gonna be the bowl game thread?

Per the pregame show, Barrington is injured.

Covid?

For all those except Wilcox, that I what I have heard.

Wilcox signed with an agent today or yesterday, so he is looking towards the draft. But that doesn't mean he doesn't have covid and decided to sign because he can't play.

Udo may also be a separate injury.

Missing Wilcox, Udo, Barrington, Empey, Grimes, Mateos...

Good grief.

Covid?

Hilarious that he is wearing a weed shirt in that photograph.

I suspect part of the appeal of the Boca Raton bowl was being done by Dec. 23.

For the team, I can certainly see that. As a fan, I am all for additional practices and a Big XII opponent.

Good grief.

Vegas' line still says BYU -6.0. Hmm...

[All-American]

Grimes and Mateos? Yeesh.

Also, I must admit I would rather BYU were in Army’s position of sliding into the Liberty Bowl to play WVU. That said, I’m always up for a chance to watch Zach, Gunnar, Dax, Tyler, etc. Go, Cougars!

Welp, this will make it easy for me to just excuse away a loss and sleep well tonight either way.

Good grief.

I think I might change my score prediction. Ugh...

[Now who’s the dean?]

That's very cool. Last night I re-watched the final minutes of that game at the same time in the evening I was watching the original 40 years ago. Unquestionably one of greatest comeback finishes of all time. It bugged me that Doug Flutie's Hail Mary against Miami has received more pub over the years. Flutie started more than 20 yards closer to the end zone than did Jimbo.

I wish Bill Schoepflin (one of the best DBs in BYU history) were in Cabo with them, as it was his punt block that set up the Hail Mary--a most fitting appellation, btw, since all three of those guys were raised Catholic.

But it was a Mormon who scored the winning point!!


**And I don’t agree with that in the workplace**
