Easy choice. All about what you value. Wanted to get a great education with the gospel embedded into that. No place like BYU, not even close. Then, you want a high saturation of nubile, active lds prospects. Easy choice.

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

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.

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

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

1/12/17 10:54am

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

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

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.

Michicoug

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.

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