I kind of hate Mark Pope now, I don't see why any BYU fan would hope he does well at Kentucky

Nuke All-American

12:55pm

So, Saunders not attending the press conference was a sign that he was leaving. Does that mean Hall being at the

Hope so. Richie was in team mtg though.

Soupie

No, I don't think it was a sign that he was leaving.

It certainly isn't a bad sign.... Although he was distinctly not in BYU gear.

Whoa, flashback. If you grew up in Utah County, do any of you remember Ream's Grocery on the 4th of July?

Ragnar Danneskjold You know...

Reams on 106th in Sandy, had .25 hot dogs. Used to go in and order 30 of them

Add 10% to all that.

As I recall, it wasn’t just on July 4 but also several days leading up to it

Doctor Rosenrosen

12:41pm

Ah Provo Reams. Is it gone?

I think they are both gone. Turtle Reams is apartments and then that one on center is a Maverick now I think

ochobeeguy

AK is not at UK & he won’t play this season.

Ok then. Technically, if we're trading, BK isn't coming from Kentucky…
