About football, yea, in fine college football. For no man knoweth the end from the beginning.

Behold, for the second year in a row, thy beloved BYU Cougars have opened the season 2-1. Notwithstanding an entire offseason of pessimism and lack of faith from many of Brigham's fair (weather) sons and daughters, each of the past two seasons, the Cougars have beaten a nationally ranked opponent, and won on the road versus a Power 5 opponent.

Cease to be deceived by the foolishness of recruiting rankings. Put not your trust in power rankings or Power 5 status. For the wisdom of man is foolishness. No man seeth the work being done in secret in the refiner's fire of the offseason. But, when the games are played, that which is secret shall be seen openly.

O remember, remember, what great things ye have seen. Go thy way. Be not faithless, but believing.
