He tweets about BYU, so naturally CB will be upset

I haven't seen anything to support that based on my month of following him

Not taking a position in this discussion, but it has been the off-season.

One month is a VERY small sampling. Wait for it... He's not a fan of BYU.

Research assignment: go to the SLTrib and read his stories from past years.

The "voice of the Cougars" isn't pro-BYU enough for this crowd.

Not sure he has sources anymore. He uses a lot of conjecture.

His job as a reporter is to know, not guess, or call up a current byu student
