Don't bother. Ugly game.

Interesting note about suspensions not happening if players are good. BYU suspends players for honor code violations no matter who they are.

I'm sad about it, but hope it's entertaining anyhow.

:geauxtigers: (except this week!)

I think that referred to those who left the program, those potentially suspended, and injuries.

Is Key playing? I thought he was hurt.

BYU usually travels well, but the change in venue will really hurt. My group of 10 is down to 4, and I'm no longer in it. We would likely have been 25-30% of the crowd at NRG (huge Mormon population in Texas, and many people had circled this as an exciting game to travel for), but now I doubt we exceed 10%.

Tanner is legit, but BYU receivers are questionable. The best way to beat BYU right now is tight coverage on the receivers, allowing for the D to stack the box. Tanner's not completely immobile, but we no longer have a QB that can torch the D for long runs when plays break down.

At least one receiver has 4.3 speed, but he dropped/missed multiple balls last week (not Tanner's fault on those).

You'll see black Mormons depending on where you go. Utah & Idaho? Not so much. Atlanta? Different story. Africa? The majority. The old A&M strength and conditioning coach that just went to the Chargers is a Mormon. So is Gladys Knight.

For any who may not be aware, about 6500 Mormon volunteers visited Baton Rouge last September to help clean up the mess. I came with a group from College Station to help out. I've never seen anything like it, including when I worked in insurance repair doing water damage jobs. It was great to see all of the different church and community groups that came to help. When it all comes down to it, we're not really all that different.

Oh, and if a couple guys in white shirts knock on your door, offer them a glass of water. They likely aren't from the humidity and it's killing them.

Yessir!
