He's an idiot. BYU players are only 1 to 2 years older

on average than other teams. When its reported as 26 year olds playing against a bunch of 17 to 18 year olds it makes the reporters look stupid. There are plenty of 22 to 23 year old kids playing on teams all across the country. And BYU has plenty of 17 to 18 year olds playing on its team.

He almost seemed disgusted at desmond.

It's because he's one of the few (very few) real professionals in sports media

So does the woman.

David Pollack was perplexed by Desmond as well.

Thanks for posting. I was listening to that and shaking my head. If it truly is a "hustle" I'm sure Harbaugh will be all

8/24/16 11:22pm

And Saban would have incorporated it into the process years ago

If it was a real hustle Harbaugh would have had Taysom back at Stanford playing

"Sometimes maybe 20." That's a great line right there.

And even if they were 17...add 4 years that is still 21. "Maybe 20". what a joke

Go on missions earlier? What an idiot, does he want them to skip high school?

Most of them know it is idiotic but they say it anyways as a way to undercut BYUs success - ala

Taysom was gone during two of BYUs worst years for QB play. We could've used him

Sidenote: David Pollack gets my respect. That guy seems to always come at things
