Hey if you know where cougjunkie is hanging out, tell him to get over here and pay up on the wager. I could use the $50 for Christmas.

There's bigger things to life than football. But like I said, it hurt. Football is a big part of my life. There are definitely some things I can learn from. You have to put it in perspective."

To BYU administration, football is down the priority list. I'll take a team who hates to lose and compete against that kind of attitude any day.
It's amusing to see the players--you know, the guys who actually have an impact on the game--more capable of keeping perspective than the fans.

As much as I'm sure Utah would love to take credit for those many turnovers, the fact is Hall really had a terrible game. There were at least 3 other batted-down or tipped balls that really could very easily have been interceptions. Utah has a good defense, but they aren't 8-interception good.

Especially after your gambling losses from the two previous BYU/Utah games.

The name of the game is winning. The Quest for Perfection was about winning. Win!

Name the last RM QB that won the BIG game. Perspective in life is fine. Perspective on the football field is about winning. Let the life perspective occur outside of football. Unless of course you are not about winning.

Show me where I wagered on the previous games.

Tell junkie if he has any integrity to come over and pay up.

How about John Beck. Before that Brandon Doman. Max Hall last year was an RM that won the big game. Do we count Max?

Had he served the full two years, he would not have been in contention for the starting position in 2007. It would have gone to Gaskins or McEuen. Essentially his decision to skip out on his calling was what enabled him to give that performance against Utah.

I suggest you go up to any member of the football team and say this to their face. Word for word.

Remind them that you still care.

you wanted to wager with me last year. Are you really denying that you thought Utah would win last year and the year before? You're as predictable as it gets. This time you happened to be right. Last time you weren't and you disappeared for several months.

Did you take me up on the wager? You see if you don't wager, you haven't wagered. Feel free to post your acceptance of last year's wager and I'll pay up. Now try and get junkie to pay up.
