dingus79 All-American

1:26pm

POLL: If you hypothetically ran into Ed O'Bannon on the street one day

Carnac

1:24pm

Changes needed to be made in the athletes favor, but he ruined college sports and killed EA Sports College Football

COUGZ

1:25pm

same thing i told him last time

riboflavin

1:27pm

Not recognize him and walk right by.

RE: POLL: If you hypothetically ran into Ed O'Bannon on the street one day

BlueFever

1:28pm

I’d not realize it cause I have no idea who that is

4thand19

1:28pm

These poll options are not mutually exclusive

darkcoug

Cashier's check question - use MACU, but live out-of-region.

Adam_Pontipee

1:23pm

Doesn't MACU have a bunch of affiliate credit unions?

GfB

1:24pm

Call and have them mail it to you.

NorCal_Coug

1:25pm

MACU use to participate in Shared Branching which allows you to conduct

SnickSnack

1:26pm

Okay I researched this and confirmed, MACU no longer participates in

SnickSnack

1:28pm

You can purchase money orders at various stores

Parkercoug82

1:28pm

Lost out on a house despite offering more than a competing cash offer. Is there

SuperTank

1:22pm

Cash offer won’t have financing fall through.

HingleMcCringleberry

1:23pm

This, I recently considered finally offering on a home.

rad dawg

1:27pm

Waiving inspections, promising no repair requests, and increasing earnest

valleus

1:24pm

We did increase earnest money and made it non-refundable.

SuperTank

1:27pm

Cash offers have less risk for sellers. They don't have to possibly deal with

cougar95

1:25pm

Super frustrating, but as a seller there are a number of reasons I love cash

clouddatageek

1:29pm

Quicker close.

Phred84044

1:33pm

Read an article today that Utah is trying to pass legislation to keep homes...

giveme1luke2go

1:36pm

NIL craziness will last as long as people are willing to play along. People keep paying, players will keep asking.

jacobugath INSUFFERABLE KNOW IT ALL

1:17pm

Since Mexican food winning poll below, what is your favorite Mexican restaurant?

IDAHO 4 Y

1:14pm

Red Iguana in SLC

IDAHO 4 Y

1:14pm

Hard to beat

TADOW

1:22pm

This is the correct anoser.

Adrielle

1:25pm

Maria Bonita in Orem.

BlueFever

1:17pm

Used to go there occasionally then...

Adrielle

1:24pm

It's weird how she's always pushing customers out the door quickly

RockyBalboa

1:30pm

I only order out there because the place is so small. Love their food.

BlueFever

1:30pm

My one gripe about Maria Bonita's is that there is much room. You're crammed in there

BYU Grounds

1:27pm

The Taco Shop

creameryon9th

1:18pm

El Mexiquense in Lehi

Hoopster

1:18pm

It’s gone downhill. 5 years ago it was the best. Still good though

BYUheaven

1:21pm

They closed the one in Sandy. It wasn’t that good, sadly.

Pierre Delecto

1:23pm

The Saratoga Springs location is a dumpster fire.

RockyBalboa

1:23pm

Sol Agave in American Fork is good but pricey

Hoopster

1:19pm

Sol Agave in Lehi and Red Iguana in SLC

cDog801

1:20pm

I've liked La Frontera.

StarMan

1:20pm

The Red Iguana in SLC. Mama Chu's in Orem is decent.

Adrielle

1:20pm

Cafe Rio. I kid.

TADOW

1:22pm

Favorite right now is Real Taqueria in Holladay. Sol Agave is good but overpriced, IMO.

Pete

1:23pm

Real Taqueria is the bomb.

RockyBalboa

1:24pm

Del Barrio on Murray

BYU Grounds

1:30pm

La Costa in Sandy or PG/AF.

Captain Stubing

1:33pm

Dang looks like to be a cracking game at Villa Park. Already 1-1.

babycarrot

1:13pm

Reed Sheppard with a 42” vertical are you kidding me?! How did he not dominate college basketball. 52% 3-pt shooter

RdF3 Inactive user

1:13pm

David Locke was right.

dYrtbYkerYder

1:18pm

Logue - suuuuuper athletic big

mjmill All-American

1:12pm

If he comes to BYU, he's probably be a one-n-done. Someone will contact him and

AF_Puma

1:18pm

Hillhouse in the house.

Joe Banks All-American

1:08pm

Yes sir. Happy for that young man.

byukarl

1:11pm

Good for Zach!

BYUheaven

1:11pm

Giddy up! Great recruiting class just got that much better. Hope to see him in some National meets in the next 6 weeks.

CrimWalCoug

1:13pm

he’s going to the mile festival at the end of May

byukarl

1:23pm

Great to hear. Would be killer to see him improve upon his 4:04 at sea level.

CrimWalCoug

1:29pm

How to share recruiting rumors on CB without getting moderated. 3 step plan.

MHallDidNothingWr0ng

1:03pm

I think this requires a rainbow category

Indy Coug

1:04pm

You are giving away my secrets

kimdaddy35

1:07pm

You receive a tax free lump sum of $30,000. What do you do with it?

Jeff Spicoli

1:01pm

Pay down any debt with it.

Coug98

1:02pm

Pay down the highest interest loan I have.

JAGA97

1:02pm

What if that loan is a 2.75% mortgage?

squidmark

1:07pm

Invest in something that will reliably and consistently beat the 2.75.

BoiseBlueCoug

1:09pm

That's exactly what I wanted to hear. Bitcoin, here I come!!!

squidmark

1:10pm

Spicoli spends it on weed and pizza

delinquentcoug

1:02pm

Save half and use half to buy a car for my daughter at college.

brj8

1:03pm

Buy a car

KingDave

1:03pm

I'd use it to pay down the national debt.

kimdaddy35

1:04pm

Probably pay off car

Duke Silver

1:05pm

Put it all on GameStop baby!!!

Texas Hammer

1:10pm

Floor seats at MSG tomorrow

Tare

If Noah Waterman wants to play at BYU and get the most money possible from BYU

CougarCanuck76

12:57pm

If that's truly what he aims for — I hope he was encouraged there by a wise source rather than a foolish one

SinkingQuffa

1:03pm

No chance Noah is left high and dry. He's going to cash in somewhere. His agent isn't an idiot.

CalGTR

1:08pm

I hope not. I followed the NBA long enough to see some pretty idiot moves by agents (that most informed fans

SinkingQuffa

1:25pm

A 3-pt-shooting, 6-11 bigman always has a place on any NCAA roster

CougarCanuck76

1:10pm

Oh, I agree he has value. But does KY see him as being as vital a piece as Dallin & Richie? I'm not so sure on that.

SinkingQuffa

1:19pm

In the words of Teddy KGB...

Adrielle

1:04pm

Mods is it ok if I post about Waterman now?

Cooouuugs

12:55pm

For you specifically? No.

Indy Coug

12:56pm

I’m not a fan of shutting miles of I-15 down for a funeral procession.

Abe Froman

12:52pm

I said this yesterday and got lambasted. Good luck!

Yukon

12:55pm

LOLOLOLOL!!!!

Carnac

12:56pm

Just pretend it's a typical afternoon commute, except the procession will be

StarMan

1:11pm

Societal reminder to not kill cops, I guess.

IGlowInTheDark

1:18pm

It's a token gesture to respect and appreciate police. If our society was better

KayakCoug

1:23pm

If I told you 4 years ago that the biggest rivals for BYU's recruits and transfers would be Creighton, Louisville & UK

Indy Coug Loquacious Lummox

12:52pm

that's only impressive if we win some of them

Digital Gangsta

12:54pm

It's not a matter of if we win them or not

Indy Coug

12:55pm

oh, it's 100% a matter of if we win them or not

Digital Gangsta

12:57pm

Like Hall? Saunders?

runnincoug

12:59pm

You only get to count the players DG approves of counting

Indy Coug

1:01pm

no, no, I think it's a massive coup that we retained some of our own players

Digital Gangsta

1:03pm

It doesn't matter insofar as the whole point of the OP was to point out the change we've seen

Indy Coug

1:09pm

Everything is different with NIL, unlimited mobility for players, & NCAA loss of enforcement options. It could get worse

roseyscenario

1:15pm

Maxim Logue - France Pro League U21

mjmill All-American

12:50pm

So why would these Euros want to enroll in college in the US when they could

mudpupper

12:51pm

Specifically in this case to play a year for a guy who just came out of the NBA?

Carnac

12:52pm

I doubt anyone that age is getting close to $2M playing in Europe

CougarCanuck76

12:53pm

Yeah this was a U21 pro league, bunch of 17-21 year old kids. I bet they didn’t get paid much

mjmill

12:57pm

He's raw. Not only is he probably not making too much, he plays in front of WCC crowds & isn't a guarantee

SinkingQuffa

1:00pm

Because KY is going to model the NBA developmental program at BYU

puntersarepeople

1:04pm

Because there is an NIL bonanza happening in the U.S., and that NIL money will absolutely dwarf what these guys

CalGTR

1:06pm

Did I miss something? Is he coming to BYU? Or, do we have a shot at him?

squidmark

1:01pm

He's here visiting right now

GfB

1:04pm

Here on OV and yes, we have a shot.

Soupie

BYU seems like the only team where guys enter the portal only to come back.

The Toolman

Narrator: “They weren’t”

DieHarder

12:50pm

can you share a couple examples? for us I can think of the Hall, Saunders, Epps

The Toolman

12:54pm

and how many other teams do you know well enough to make

Digital Gangsta

KCFan85

Utah state is probably the best state school in the country

cougarfann888

Definitely a factor we're gonna be looking at.

Mikey

This is the answer. Or trade school or start a business if they don't want to go that route

KCFan85

POLL: Is Kevin Durant the most “unhappy” NBA superstar in history?

Alan Schaefer

12:39pm

Forgotten Harden already I see

puntersarepeople

12:45pm

Harden isn’t unhappy as long as a strip club is within a stones throw.

Nakedbootleg

Harden has only ever been happy in Houston.

kimdaddy35

Sheppard with 42” max vert

BGRTHNUMEGO

12:37pm

Did he do it in a sneaky manner?

DieHarder

12:38pm

I thought he was a good shooter.

ochobeeguy

12:48pm

And some interesting comparisons for Eddy’s lane agility drill

BGRTHNUMEGO

12:40pm

Agile and a shooter! It’s time to start discussing Edey as a wing, not a big.

DieHarder

12:49pm

Well, he fooled me. I did not think he had that vertical.

Mostlyaccurate

12:40pm

David Locke said weeks ago that he was one of the top prospects he had graded.

POLL: Do you believe Diet Coke is bad for you? And why if you do?

Archaea

12:36pm

Yes, because I mix rum with it.

Acorn

12:40pm

It's less bad for me than the corn syrup in the corresponding fully leaded stuff

LeftOfNormal

This is where I stand as well.

Longseason

I’m team chocolate milk

The Pope

My drinking Diet Coke came by way of my first wife:

Archaea

12:44pm

Phosphoric acid is bad for you. Bad for you bones, teeth, kidneys and heart.

777

12:48pm

The studies on that are mixed. Phosphoric acid is thought to reduce bone density

Archaea

1:12pm

Because the aftertaste is terrible.

John Doe

12:55pm

Too much caffeine is bad. Over 400mg or about 8 cans of Diet Coke.

Joe Banks

1:07pm

And only few regularly drink that much.

Archaea

1:16pm

Has there been any strong evidence to suggest that Diet soda is bad for you?

stenso

12:36pm

Nothing really solid outside of what you mentioned.

cougfanz

12:37pm

It’s bad for you because it tastes awful. Water tastes much better; drink that

Nikomedes

12:37pm

Water is the worst.

Rusty Crab Daddy

Water kills about 2 million people a year.

777

12:37pm

Carbonated water is very bad for you. Don’t get me started on caramel color either

RealTaysomHill

12:43pm

Other than gas and bloating, what makes carbonated water so bad for you?

Greg Kite's 'stache

12:55pm

The strange thing I have noticed is that few people that drink diet soda

The Chief

12:38pm

It is better for your teeth.

Archaea

12:41pm

this is why I drink diet. I'm thin enough to handle regular soda, but I nurse a bottle all day- would give me cavities

byujag

12:49pm

I have had much better dental care and dental visits since I began drinking only

Archaea

Many people that drink diet soda tend to find justifications for all of their

Nakedbootleg

12:42pm

you don't drink diet soda to lose weight, you drink it so at least your drink is calorie free while you eat other crap

byujag

12:43pm

Are they heavy due to drinking diet soda? Or do they drink diet soda due to...

Eddie

12:45pm

The link is that a "sweet" drink triggers other eating habits

Archaea

12:47pm

There is no solid evidence that is harmful to you.

Archaea

12:40pm

How long is this "prolonged period"?

Eddie

12:44pm

That is what the studies suggest. If you drink 80x your body weight almost all

Archaea

12:46pm

I think it only causes cancer if you are in California when drinking it.

Eddie

Probably not the strong you're looking for but the IARC does still classify

That is the lab animal research in Italy, so they've classified due to that
