I actually just subscribed for this article and can confirm 10/10 worth the $5.99 for a one month subscription

This article is the best I've read on BYU in years, so well researched. And this

They need to switch Kamrani full time to BYu. No need for Utah coverage

Did the Bears players hassle anyone else? They knew BYU and made the effort to

I just read the quotes. I don’t have a subscription to the Athletic.

Weren't a lot of CBers promoting how great Indy was?

Indy > G5. That was the extent for most

TNT can admit this. He doesn't like you LC. You kept BYU out of the AAC

This is exactly what it was. For me I was all for Indy, because it separated

Especially the MWC. The AAC I think was more debatable, especially these past

BYU played the Indy long game...and won. It was always a means to an end...

FUN FACT for those wanting an Athletic subscription: if you subscribe then click on cancel
