POLL: What are you most excited for?

I work for a French energy company, and last week we had a banquet with the corporate CEO, who is also French.

Texas Hammer Amazon’s favorite customer

The French gave us the Louisiana purchase (well Napoleon did) and helped us in

We would be Canada

Hehehe. Highly educated people can be stupid

DJROSS All-American

I guess that’s what a BYU education will get you.

Crowd Factor

10:41am

Why are there so few water parks along the Wasatch Front?

Yukon

10:29am

Real estate prices and inability to operate half of the year

mobicurious

10:31am

That sounds like a ton of water parks for a cold weather state. $20/kid also sounds very cheap

TCuz

10:32am

the wisconsin dells would like a word

Garn

10:33am

Look at the cost/acre in Wisconsin

mobicurious

10:36am

I was not responding to the real estate prices comment.

Garn

10:38am

Plus they have set themself up as a destination location.

mudpupper

10:38am

The cities have all made some really nice pools, they are much cheaper, and much

BYUheaven

10:35am

This plus the number of backyard pools is probably 10x what it was 25 years ago.

rad dawg

10:40am

They don't churn enough profit. Same question is asked all across the US.

Corn Pop

10:36am

Because it’s cold 9 out of the 12 months here. Too short of season and water

Chefcurry

10:37am

Because water parks are nasty and hopefully people are catching on

letthewookieewin

Having been involved in research for city pools/parks.... They don't make much

mudpupper

I think the greater Houston area only has 3 water slide parks.

Trust me. You're better off this way.

It’s amazing that people can watch that and say 90s basketball was better. That’s some of the worst defense I’ve ever

RealTaysomHill

I loved a fired up Jerry Sloan!

timpjynx

10:41am

For BYU to win 6 games and get bowl eligible BYU will need to win one

TempeCoug

10:23am

Yeah, I’m worried about getting to 3-0 to start.

CPAcoug87

10:28am

If we can't beat WY I'll be ticked, it would be a bad omen for the season, SMU will be tough but beatable

dingus79

10:30am

Definitely possible that could happen which means we’d have to win 4 home games

TempeCoug

10:30am

I think the only way we can hope for a 3-0 start is if our QB situation is much better than we fear it is, and it is

dilbert

10:36am

I think BYU is more likely to lose at ASU or at Wyoming or at SMU

BYU Fan

10:29am

ASU is going to be extremely beat up by the time they play BYU.

Having watched BYU perform like Jekyll and Hyde under Kalani I really can only

BYUheaven

Fair take. Hopefully this season we see BYU get more consistent.

TempeCoug

SMU won 10 games last year & added a number of sought after transfers. You can pencil that in as a loss. 6 wins would

His guys are in place.

I think that was his point

Non-mo Coug

Thank you.

coolblue

10:33am

I think the silent majority won’t be so silent if (when) we stumble through another season. KS has shown us his ceiling.

LOL, it’s as if 2020-2022 never happened

In 2022 we finished 63rd in Sagarin which is about 20 spots lower than Bronco

CaliWG

10:20am

I think the hiring of KY sent a message

Borg

10:33am

Hating LeMao for his politics is easy and weak. True haters will level up by also hating his son for being affiliated

scootsy (Taylor’s Version)

10:14am

Who is hating Bronny? So, if some don't think he should be put on a pedestal because of his father, that's hating?

ManicBlue

10:39am

Another guy with BYU on his list commits elsewhere

Indy Coug Loquacious Lummox

Dang! The 16 letter guy is gone.

Soupie

I had hoped he would go our way

Archaea

Not unexpected. He never even visited BYU.

BYUJoJo

Did he visit BYU?

Been a long time gone, Konstantynovskyi

why do we care? It was a huge honor just to be on the list!!

Digital Gangsta

How well would a great wolf lodge type thing do in Utah?

homegrown

10:13am

Have you been to one? Much more than an indoor / outdoor park. The one in Scottsdale is becoming a family reunion mecca.

Yllage Vidiot

I’ve never been. Only heard about it

The question is will Utahns pay to stay in a local hotel? I think the answer is

mudpupper

This well….

Chefcurry

It would do very well.... just don't make me go myself. Went to one in Mass. Lots of fun but only children

It would be a nightmare to be a guest at a Utah based GWL.

FYI...if you want to go to Lagoon this summer, look into the GetOut Pass

CPAcoug87

10:11am

I disagree. Weekdays at Lagoon are awful. Especially in the evenings. DON'T go

cougarfan84

10:13am

Well, it's pretty much busy any time you go. But Saturdays are terrible!

CPAcoug87

I was being sarcastic. Telling people not to go during the times I generally go.

cougarfan84

Haha, that one flew right over my head 😂

I agree that Saturdays are awful on the crowds. I prefer going when I don't have

I just got a letter from them saying they are increasing deductibles on all policies to keep premiums the same or lower

Funny story. When my parents took me off their insurance when I got married

I'd say that is crazy except something similar happened to me.

Bear World, has rides now! Ok, now was a little overboard.

Syre

Utah is very lucky to have Lagoon. Buy a season pass, it’s not that expensive.

BigGulps

9:37am

I'm not going to Lagoon more than once a year (if that) and I live 4.5 hours

gwalker

I agree. Utah is a small market to have something like Lagoon

Traveling Coug

If it weren't for our longish winters, Disney or Universal would have built here

Ted Lasso

9:38am

It would assure that most families here never leave the state for vacation ever again.

zonacougar

9:39am

Which is mostly why Lagoon is the only business in town.

There are tons of places that make more sense before Utah.

Pretty sure I watched that same video not too long ago.

I watched that too, interesting perspective as a kind of outsider

Hypnotoad

Are those rumors ONLY on CB? I've not seen anything about it other than he owns land next to Evermore.

Why else would he purchase the land next to it? It's a perfect location for

Some Sanderson fan youtuber made a video about it.

There are no real rumors. It's just speculation based on connecting some dots.

If you compare it to a day of skiing, it doesn't seem terrible

speaking of Lagoon, is anyone familiar with taking frontrunner to the lagoon

EEcougar

There's a bus that runs between Lagoon and the frontrunner station

Yeah, my kids would take frontrunner then the shuttle bus to Lagoon

Why is there no Great Wolf Lodge in Utah? That would be instantly popular.

I wish it was 200 dollars, and then maybe the lines would be shorter.
