POLL: What grade do you give BYU for use of the portal up until this point of offseason?

BYUfannonLDS

8:44am

kccougar

8:45am

I know they will land more, just asking up until this point

BYUfannonLDS

8:47am

This should be illegal

Indy Coug Loquacious Lummox

8:43am

WOW. That's not enabling gambling addicts or anything.

cougarmeister

8:47am

That’s just capitalism, baby

DKN

It's amazing how people find value in different forms of entertainment

TNT

Blink twice if you are the real TNT

Carnac

8:39am

Well pinball is a blast too. While others find it boring

TNT

Who here knows how to play Euchre? I love playing euchre because it's so short.

CougarGeorge

8:31am

We played it last night...requirement for those with ties to Michigan

Fdnman

8:32am

So true. Haven't played Euchre or Bunco since leaving Michigan.

Hawk in the 303

8:38am

Love Euchre. Investigators on my mission in Indiana taught me to play.

bluecheese

8:33am

Play it when I get together with our insurance carrier contacts from Midwest.

blueaussie

Euchre is the best. Everyone in MI knew how to play.

POLL: What's the closest that a tornado has come to your house?

thewaterboy

I was right in the middle of all this, but thankfully we had no major damage.

Strategy board games are not fun for people who either don't enjoy strategy or aren't willing to lose the first time

~~Strategy~~ board games are not fun ~~for people who either don't enjoy strategy~~

TCuz

8:16am

As always TCuz getting right to the point

TNT

8:18am

I didn’t realize it was a virtue to be wrong as long as it was done quickly and directly.

TwinsRight

8:31am

TCuz has strong opinions. Like Charles Barkley

TNT

8:39am

I totally get how someone without any friends would struggle to enjoy games.

jacobugath

8:20am

thank you for speaking for everyone. What would we do without you.

Cougarclaw

8:29am

Speaking of, how does TCuz have far less ignores than TNT?

TNT

Secret mod powers?

TwinsRight

8:32am

so... you are saying strategy games aren't fun for people that don't

Strawhat4life

I know. It's quite a profound thing to realize. Hence my point that even if you don't enjoy strategy games,

Zoobieman

LeonMarek

I think you misclassified Clue. . . But a lucky guess gives beginners a chance.

Zoobieman

Or who don't want to give up 16 hours of their life…

ochobeeguy

8:37am

And how many hours of your life have you given up to watch sports?

BigTex

I've never watched a 16 hour game before…

ochobeeguy

8:52am

give up? I enjoy it.

LeonMarek

8:48am

I have never played a 16 hr game.

jacobugath

Anybody ever travel with teen kids in Coach and parents in 1st class?

Dr MoBYU

8:02am

how old are the kids? If you are leaving little kids in coach for others to deal with

crimedog

8:04am

wow I read right over the teens when I replied

crimedog

8:05am

It depends on the maturity level of the teen kids.

John Doe

The Home alone family does.

All it will take is one or two of the blue bloods to start making college kids sign contracts and then that will spread.

Adrielle

cougarmeister

8:22am

The current NIL for these rich folk is about entertainment money.

Lance71

The labor laws have to be very complicated in this situation. It's why it might

Hypnotoad

As a 5 star why would I agree to that. I have all the leverage right now.

BYUHgrad

They aren’t paid for 4 years, it’s a yearly thing

JOPE

Nothing is stopping anyone from doing that.

I listed an older Toyota on KSL and Facebook marketplace last night,

G.Freeman

Did you try KSL classified’s? I seem to get less outside spam on there than FB

Magneto

Now that you can use the message feature on KSL vs your phone number listed

crimedog

Yea I only got 2 there. So it seems to be a bit better.
