the state of BYU - are the faculty being terrorized by a fundamentalist Gestapo?

I have no idea. I don't follow this issue.

I have heard that there is a lot more emphasis on a faculty person's bona fide religious beliefs, so they can root out the persons who aren't true...

Election 2024

This is disappointing so far, I must say. GOP is done. Finished. Beholden to a giant POS. Party of the dumb and damned. They deserve what is coming to them, each of them that has bent the knee.

And why am I here? Because I was given a 3 day suspension for asking if we might Khalifa to be in better shape next year. LOLz. This is what it must be like to live in China or Hungary.

BYU lost to Tech on the road, because Tech guards dominated in the 2nd half. Particularly using the pick and roll at the top of the key.

New civilization in Amazon found, 2500 years old

Let's see, if I do the math, Lehi 600BC + 2024. Hmmmm. That's like 2600 years ago.

It seems like a pipe dream to be able to find any evidence of the BoM from new world archaeology. But who...

Dallin Hall — so goes the team

Dallin Hall seems to be the most important player on the team. Not the best player on the team. The most important. As he goes, the team goes.

1. Can he keep the other point guard out of the...

Nice win against Iowa State

Looks like things turned around in a pretty unexpected way. Let's see if this team has resilience going through the conference schedule.

Everything that is good and bad about hims is exactly what BYU wants and deserves.

I know eventually he will be fired, but it will be long after a normal program would have done so.

Big day - Utah to the Big 12, and PAC 12 imploding

I think this is bad news for BYU. I would have preferred that the PAC 12 continue and that BYU and CO or BYU only be in the Big 12. It's a shame.

But I suppose we ought to try the positives of it.

So I've actually been watching a lot of Angels (Ohtani) and Red Sox (Yoshida).

Reasons to leave:
1. This team is not very good, and it is definitely not clear if it will be better next season.
2. Desire to play in the NCAA tourney at least once before career is over.

Brigham Young and other apostles of that time were bearded

Because they were following after British fashion?

Where Brits copied the style of the Crimean veterans?

Jake Heaps making NFL news as the newly “banned” QB coach

I guess Jake Heaps is Russell Wilson’s personal football coach, and he is now banned from facilities.
