Now that Pope is gone and Burgess is back, it’s time to bring Kolby Lee home.

Now THAT would help settle everyone back down to earth.

The Y's Insider

We'll have him back in spirit via the quick shot in the post that Burgess likes to teach. I think that's probably

Keita would be nice, I think the real prize would be Jaxon Johnson.

Of course he committed to BYU....why not?

But they weren’t on Chandler’s list….trust me

Honestly, I'll be real sad if Nick is left out. But not too surprised.

Kyle Whittingham's football team is my way-too-easy pick to win the Big 12 next season. He's got Cam Rising back at QB.

BYU Grounds Intervention Needed

the way people talk about can rising you’d think he’s baker mayfield

FieroCoug

5:31pm

Exactly in all his many many many seasons. He’s never once defeated a P4 team

Longseason

They won't finish in the top 5, and UCF will be at them and be ahead of them.

He hasn’t played in front of a full stadium for years other than at home. He’ll get rattled.

There's no reason to believe that BYU won't pay for football coaches too

finnish_blue

5:17pm

Good point. It seems the "we'd pay more $$ if we had more $$" line is true. B12 budget means more $$ for coaches.

HarlemCoug

5:25pm

Byu won't deficit spend. But if the athletic program is bringing in money

cougarfann888

5:31pm

It seems true and I'm loving it. I was concerned more money wouldn't equal better salaries for staff.
