How to destroy your family name in one week

Carnac

9:47am

I don't feel anything different about his family today than a week ago.

WJCougar

9:49am

I generally like your posts, but this is a little over-dramatic

jvr7

9:49am

The deeper the Phx Suns go in the post season, the more the story of KY will be

Ol Big Bear

9:46am

Yeah, after watching the press conference my feelings changed on this. Go Suns!

Just landed in Boston for a quick trip. Any must do activities or dining?

For those who want to watch BYU's new head basketball coach in action

Cougrrrs Roll

Will ESPN focus on an NBA assistant during the broadcast?

WJCougar

9:45am

He said he is behind the offensive scheme

Schools in Virginia will be allowed to directly sign athletes to NIL deals now.

Cougar TD

9:39am

That is pushing towards employee status which becomes very messy.

Baron

9:41am

There’s already several lawsuits pushing for that

I'mBatman

9:45am

As opposed to the super tidy and problem-free current model

BoiseBlue

9:46am

It is 1000% tidier than employee status. Worlds easier. I am not sure you understand the legal and cost implications

Baron

9:48am

Yup. Unions, collective bargaining, contracts, long term health insurance, etc.

P-Widdy

9:46am

Yep, what they don't understand is with employees status, comes contracts.

Cormani McCLain is in the transfer portal. Maybe he will look at BYU again???

I am a firm believer in second chances.

Not if half the stuff about him I have heard is true

darkcoug

Probably a perfect fit for the Utes

I'mBatman

9:45am

I don't think the Utes will want him.

darkcoug

LOL...riiiight!

9:48am

I read a report that his grades are an issue, so he is probably headed to Utah

In a world so often focused on negativity, take time out of your day to notice

I really appreciate your comment and hope you have a great day.

This is one of the best posts I've ever read.

I'll remember to do that

Watched and finished series 3 Body Problems, Fallout and watched Rebal Moon...

I think the 'sequel' was shot before the original ever released.

It was such a bad movie or whatever it was...

Rebel Moon is amazingly bad

jvr7 All-American

A bunch of CB "torch-bearers" have been grumbling on the sidelines w their pitchforks all year.

SinkingQuffa

9:30am

I think part of the angst is that he just up and left. No farewell message, no letting anyone at BYU know,

darkcoug

9:30am

Plus, we upgraded with KY so he did us a solid

machete

9:31am

I don't hate him, but I did unfollow him on Insta. That'll teach him.

I wouldn't be surprised if the quieter majority of us agree

Belboz

9:35am

Pope is a great coach. I wish him well.

PhilPete

9:36am

Best to appreciate what he did at BYU and wish him the best. That’s what

WallaX2

9:40am

We all loved him until he turned out to be an ingrate

Croweater

9:41am

You really want a poached coach to thank you as he's busy cleaning out your house?

SinkingQuffa

9:44am

It's like bagging on the girlfriend who dumped you for a better looking guy with more money.

John Doe

9:42am

After she built you up from a pathetic bump of a dude? For our own good, hopefully we don't go on too long with that.

He was too over-the-top for me. I was wondering if he was high or drunk.

does pope make it 3 seasons?

archie

He could be a 1 and done depending on how season goes. Jaxon and Aly are great but total softies. He needs much more.

a sense of building will also be important, if he goes sweet 16 in year 1

Well if the Coyotes could find a halfway decent owner this wouldn’t be the case

LakeshowCougs

They’re the biggest market without teams from all four big 4 leagues? Houston and Atlanta don’t have hockey teams either
