I like Stanford but from my BYU fan POV, it's disappointing that Shaw turned out

to be as good a coach as he has. I thought they would taper off after Harbaugh left. Doesn't help that they have a quality LDS coordinator too.

But BYU has two things Stanford doesn't: tons of LDS coeds and great fan support. Also has positive family considerations for some players. Hard choice to make.

On Tanner McKee, it's looking like a recruiting duel between BYU and Stanford

Worst case scenario is we pick him up on the way home from his mission trip

1/12/17 10:27am

I think it would be worse if we pick him up then he pulls an Olsen and goes

Worst case scenario is Stanford gets him and then he destroys us when we play

We have games scheduled with them in 2020, 2022, 2023, and 2025

Why won't he be ready by 2020? That's 4 seasons away.

The institute program is very strong at Stanford

donnerstag

Plenty of couples meet there

Gustav

1/12/17 10:41am

Agreed. There are a few marriages that come out of that ward

Football is fleeting...a wife is forever...go where the best choices are

Nat Gas Man

Yep. You have maybe a few hundred single lds girls at Stanford and living near

cougaman

In Provo, you can add in another 15,000 from UVU

squidmark

There's no question that the quantity is massive in Utah Valley

donnerstag

and another 15000 that aren't in either school right now

Nat Gas Man

1/12/17 12:32pm

And maybe another 15000 in hair school

cougaman

1/12/17 12:59pm

and weird. I've never felt more out of place than at the Stanford wards. Maybe

Sure it's pretty strong but Nubile Coeds < 50 IMHO.

Graduate from Stanford first then go wife hunting, you could even come back to

Seems everyone assumes he is only interested in dating LDS women.

Maybe a big year by Mangum will help his perspective.

Oh please happen... I have so many eggs of hope in the Mangum basket right now..

I don't like competing against Stanford for recruits, as BYU will lose a lot of

When it comes to fan base, we are so much better

JKLCoug

1/12/17 2:14pm

Yeah, he should ignore silly things such as the value of the degree.

Archaea

1/12/17 2:42pm

That's not what I'm saying

JKLCoug

1/12/17 2:54pm

Everyone in my family (with the option) chose BYU over Stanford with 0 regrets

grosven

1/12/17 3:03pm

If you want a Mormon environment with lots of dating material

Archaea

1/12/17 5:52pm

Again, it's just the most valued degree from one angle. It's not just the dating

grosven

Didn't BYU make the top 5 schools employers recruit from?

ManicBlue

1/12/17 4:06pm

It bothers me liberal schools in a liberal conference want LDS players. If

idcougarfan

1/12/17 4:17pm

You say liberal as if it's a bad thing.

Their issue isn't with Mormonism per se, it is with academic freedom at BYU and

chilango

1/13/17 7:18am

Oh .. so they think others should be open to opposing ideas but not themselves?

ManicBlue

1/13/17 11:09am

I think you misunderstood the part that is not illogical.

chilango

1/13/17 11:31am

No, I didn't misunderstand.

ManicBlue

1/13/17 1:29pm

If McKee can see Mangum have success in Detmer's system and get drafted
