It's weird we humans acquire tastes for substances bad for us

Archaea

1:50pm

after-effects are longer lasting than the initial taste

LeonMarek

Pretty simple, they all have powerful substances which either

With smoking however,

I wonder why people continue to drink alcohol despite its bad taste?

Well done coaches!

Streaming Services Prices. What stands out? Do you generally sub to the ads or no-ads plans?

TCuz Coastal Elite

1:42pm

I do Ads for the most part. I can sit through a few minutes of Ads to save

ThEJOKER

1:46pm

It really is that bad. The problem with streaming ads is the low quality and

JAGA97

1:48pm

And the ads cut in at awkward times. Not like your typical ad breaks you got in

cougarfan84

1:50pm

That being said, I typically don't pay for ad-free

cougarfan84

1:51pm

Meh I just mute the Ad and play a game on my phone.

ThEJOKER

1:51pm

A game with ads I assume?

JAGA97

1:55pm

Haha nope.

ThEJOKER

1:55pm

That doesn’t sound like that bad of a deal. The ads have to be way more entertaining than Young Sheldon.

TCuz

1:52pm

I do ads and yearly plans to try and keep costs down

astroman

The dreams of a la carte was a fools dream.

Jay_L

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

COUGZ

same thing i told him last time

riboflavin

Not recognize him and walk right by.

BlueFever

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

4thand19

1:28pm

These poll options are not mutually exclusive

darkcoug

1:32pm

I don't blame him. I blame the ambulance chasing lawyers that used him for their big payday.

ManicBlue

1:39pm

Ask him how his family is, what he’s up to nowadays, and walk away

Carnac

I wouldn’t recognize him unless we were introduced somehow.

Great move by him. He is a hero for capitalism.

Call and have them mail it to you.

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

SuperTank

Cash offer won’t have financing fall through.

HingleMcCringleberry

1:23pm

This, I recently considered finally offering on a home.

rad dawg

Would being pre-approved for a loan help?

MisterFundamentals

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

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

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.

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.

BlueFever

1:30pm

Yeah they actually put signs up saying they have a limit on tables. The service has sucked there lately.

Nuke

1:41pm

My one gripe about Maria Bonita's is that there is not much room. You're crammed in there

BYU Grounds

1:27pm

Nope. Refrigerated salsa made my hot meal cold. Did not like Maria Bonita

Greg4BYU

1:53pm

The Taco Shop in Temecula

creameryon9th

El Mexiquense in Lehi

Hoopster

1:18pm

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

BYUheaven

1:21pm

Have not been in a couple of years so perhaps not as good as it used to be. 😕

Hoopster

1:39pm

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

I haven’t been to the Lehi one in a couple years. I know the owner sold so I

BYUheaven

1:49pm

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

My favorite is Mama Chus

Greg4BYU

1:55pm

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

Milagros. As a bonus: cool BYU display with gear from prominent BYU players.

cscougar

1:45pm

La Monita bangkok

Longseason

1:47pm

Sol Agave is good. South of Nick’s in San Clemente is probably my favorite.

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

Maybe. He's pretty raw. The talent level he's facing in Europe ain't Big 12 level.

SinkingQuffa

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.

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

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

brj8

Buy a car

KingDave

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

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

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

It may just be that KY is looking to bring in someone that would heavily contend

JuicyJam

1:42pm

Mods is it ok if I post about Waterman now?

Cooouuugs

12:55pm

For you specifically? No.

Indy Coug

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

Abe Froman

I said this yesterday and got lambasted. Good luck!

Yukon

LOLOLOLOL!!!!

Carnac

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

Yes, the traffic jam is going to change criminals’ minds.

Yukon

1:40pm

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

KayakCoug

1:23pm

Not a fan of people who can’t handle a tiny interruption to their precious lives

FrontLineFan

1:39pm

My take:

Carnac

1:43pm

Do you even care about our first responders?!!! Blue lives matter!

Yukon

1:47pm

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

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

He's here visiting right now

Here on OV and yes, we have a shot.
