Why are there so few water parks along the Wasatch Front?

Yukon

10:29am

Real estate prices and inability to operate half of the year

mobicurious

That sounds like a ton of water parks for a cold weather state. $20/kid also sounds very cheap

For BYU to win 6 games and get bowl eligible BYU will need to win one

Yeah, I’m worried about getting to 3-0 to start.

CPAcoug87

10:28am

If we can't beat WY I'll be ticked, it would be a bad omen for the season, SMU will be tough but beatable

dingus79

10:30am

Definitely possible that could happen which means we’d have to win 4 home games

TempeCoug

I think the only way we can hope for a 3-0 start is if our QB situation is much better than we fear it is, and it is
