Travel recommendation for Iceland? Van camp vs. hostel/hotel

FallingRock

12:23pm

AirBnB was great in Iceland

Archaea

12:25pm

Early 40s and son is 18 🙂

FallingRock

12:33pm

Wondered if the cougar connect information about BYU trying to get together a half $1 million dollars For pops

Blue2thebone Intervention Needed

12:21pm

Right. No one but the person getting paid.

Kdubb

12:23pm

yeah, because there was no other information

Zombre

12:24pm

IDK, knell was talking about how they'd use NIL info against other teams so

Don Carlton

12:27pm

You think CougarConnect knows info the players do not know about?

They couldn't have picked any worse jersey to add to this list.

Manti

12:20pm

I kinda liked the Subway/Sprite uniforms. I'd take those over what we currently have 10 times out of 10.

Knee Brace

12:24pm

I'm guessing that's the point. Best of the worst.

Hypnotoad

12:27pm

POLL: What’s your favorite genre of food?

IDAHO 4 Y

12:16pm

That's an impossible question.

Eddie

12:18pm

Pizza, as we know it, is American food, right?

The Dark Knight

12:22pm

I'll say the first three

Chester Copperpot

12:23pm

Me too!

IDAHO 4 Y

12:25pm

¡Viva Mexico!

Hoopster

12:24pm

Yes

spugeddy24

12:24pm

Never thought 30 yrs ago on my mish that Korean would make a list like this

Sacto Cougar

12:25pm

Probably shouldn't. He left out Japanese and Vietnamese which are much more

777

12:31pm

Indian.

allaboutthegainz

12:28pm

Some of your categories might need clarification. Like, people think Panda Express is authentic Chinese so they might

RalphWiggam

12:29pm

Baked goods. A good bakery is all I need

Tare

12:33pm

What’s worse, a can of coke or a cup of coffee?

Kale

12:13pm

If you're talking about caffeine, coffee has more of it. Almost twice IIRC.

BleedCougarBlue2

12:14pm

Worse tasting or worse for your health?

Hoopster

12:14pm

How do you measure “worse?”

RalphWiggam

12:14pm

Taste

BW84

12:15pm

OP's boardname is "Kale". I really doubt he cares about taste.

BoiseBlueCoug

12:30pm

If it's really hot out, coffee is worse. If it's really cold out, coke is worse.

Eddie

12:15pm

Iced coffee?

Japan Coug

12:15pm

One smells up the room, the other doesn't.

777

12:15pm

Who cares?

Lifi

12:15pm

Do you need a hug today?

Kale

12:20pm

Coffee is worse tasting, coke is bad for you but so is coffee if you put enough

A Drew Aitch

12:15pm

Coke and it isn’t close.

Zach Morris

12:16pm

Health-wise? Coke is probably worse for you.

Chester Copperpot

12:19pm

A can of coke is far more delicious.

Ted Lasso

12:19pm

You'd probably overdose on a can of coke. So I'd choose that

YIsForBrigham

12:19pm

Black coffee? Coke by far.

allaboutthegainz

12:19pm

Coke. By far. Our culture of accepting excessive soda drinking and shunning

Chasicle

12:19pm

Coffee if you're faithful LDS.

BlueFever

12:19pm

Don’t do either

Kale

12:21pm

One is a Word of Wisdom violation - the other isn't.

BlueFever

12:22pm

Did god command you not to drink one of them?

Cougarclaw

12:20pm

He probably thought we'd have enough common sense to not drink the other

squidmark

12:22pm

God commanded us to multiply and replenish the earth. Then we couldn’t have kids

Jstak17

12:24pm

It's the trying that counts. And nobody should complain about the trying.

JAGA97

12:30pm

If we're debating which is worse, could be a good idea to skip both of 'em.

KCFan85

12:21pm

Coke because of the sugar

JuicyJam

12:21pm

The one God has asked me not to drink

The Dark Knight

12:22pm

From a health or social perspective?

Archaea

12:28pm

Coffee. I didn't commit to not drinking a can of Coke.

POLL: RE: POLL: April Mayhem continues with the Elite Eight! #1 Circle of Life vs #2 Part of Your World

jacobugath INSUFFERABLE KNOW IT ALL

12:02pm

Both deserve Elite Eight status. So different, too.

Ted Lasso

8 scholarship players

jg94

Just like everyone else.

kccougar

A great chance for CBers to walk on and show what they’ve got!

Hoopster

12:07pm

who is the CBer who always claimed he can take D1 hoops guys one on one? Waters?

fulano

12:09pm

Kids don’t want to sit the bench. Most teams are going to be very light from

Chefcurry

12:09pm

You can still only play 5 at a time.

GfB

12:29pm

This Maxim Louge play is sick (#21 gets the ball on the low block)

zonacougar Medium Rare

11:51am

Athletic, can he do much of anything other than dunk?

Dr T-bone

11:52am

Good screener and plays well in the offensive system.

Mostlyaccurate

11:55am

Has a few highlights of him shooting midrange jumpers and dribbling in the open court

puntersarepeople

12:20pm

Chicken wing.

No touching

11:54am

And watch him run the court here;

zonacougar

11:55am

He covers a lot of ground. Moves with purpose.

squidmark

12:03pm

Waterman would be a huge asset for BYU. I love his attitude and his

Don Carlton

11:46am

No doubt, I want Waterman back.

RenoCoug

12:02pm

My main question is why wouldn't he jump in sooner if it was to get paid

Dr T-bone

12:18pm

That's a good question but my guess is he was "all in" but after watching guys

Don Carlton

12:23pm

Is there a worse run organization than the NCAA? They have one of the best

BYUheaven

11:44am

They have no real power. The 'amateur' rules have been neutered over the years.

Benfica1

11:58am

When do you think this Cicada fungus will make the jump to humans

OU Cougar

11:43am

As soon as Fauci pays the Wuhan lab to start working on it

BYU Grounds

Anyone know how early you can register your car in UT before it expires?

Cougs4Lfe

11:39am

I have the google and know how to use it

Cougrrrs Roll

11:42am

How did you get it?

Texas Hammer

11:43am

Do/would people laugh at you trying to back a boat down a boat ramp?

crack

11:38am

My truck does it for me

Cougrrrs Roll

11:40am

Not now. Experience is the key. Experience comes with some trial and error.

JAGA97

11:43am

The way I was taught was to put your hand at the bottom of the steering wheel.

crack

11:47am

Good technique. Lots of these videos are people in short wheel base SUV's.

JAGA97

11:51am

Easy peasy. Put one hand on bottom of steering wheel, if you

RE: Do/would people laugh at you trying to back a boat down a boat ramp?

STL

11:49am

Nope. Get standing ovations.

valcorger

11:52am

never done a boat launch, so probably wouldn't go well. Done a long car trailer behind a moving truck fine, though

byujag

12:04pm

Possibly. But I would laugh at almost all of you trying to navigate 50'+ yachts

justAnotherCoug

12:07pm

No. I will take a second to adjust from backing the slow-responding 5th wheel

StarMan

12:19pm

Getting Berke would be an upgrade over Waterman anyways

arizonacougarfan

11:37am

and here we go...

Croweater

It would huh?

Kdubb

Mostlyaccurate

11:40am

Upside yes

BYU '80

11:42am

This is the big problem with NIL - fans think they can say stuff like this because the players are now paid commodities

darkcoug

11:42am

Not for next year.

Goatnapper'96

11:46am

Not even close to true. Waterman was a key player, perhaps even MVP, on the team

Loafer

11:50am

I think BYU was trying to look out for Waterman ahead of the program

BigHouse Coug

11:51am

I hope if Noah is in the portal that they make keeping him a priority.

Tricky

11:58am

Hope we get both but Berne’s shooting numbers were poor last year.

marinact

11:59am

Why would we want to lose someone who can shoot the three, has shown that he

RenoCoug

12:03pm

Agreed I think we underestimate team dynamics. A kid may have skill. Doesn't

RobDog

12:18pm

Long-term yes but not in year one

Blue2thebone

12:22pm

Not a bad weekend for the Raptors.

snowbird

11:35am

Where does Edey land in the draft if he can hit the 3?

Mostlyaccurate

11:29am

Can he move as well as Brooke Lopez defensively? Not a huge bar.

Plato

11:32am

He's shown flashes of defending guards well, but it's not consistent.

Mostlyaccurate

11:45am

10 probably

I'mBatman

11:39am

If Kevin O'Connor was still GM of the Jazz maybe.

cougarfan84

11:46am

The transfer portal is a bigger problem than NIL

Jersey hunter

11:27am

Agreed. But it's the combination of both that is the worst. Imagine if pros

LifeLongLakerFan

11:28am

Reducing the opportunities to transfer would dampen NIL immediately

Jersey hunter

11:31am

I totally agree. On the flip side, if NIL was not allowed right now, the volume

LifeLongLakerFan

11:33am

This will end in a pro-style model.

KCFan85

11:44am

The two in combination are destroying college sports. I’m losing interest in

11:55am

Well the coaches are the ones driving a lot to enter the portal

cougfanz

NIL fatigue leads to NIL disgust leads to NIL revolt

Underhill All-American

11:24am

The NCAA screwed up years ago when players wanted to unionize and have a collective bargaining agreement. That's

ManicBlue

11:27am

I’m eagerly awaiting college players going on strike

Indy Coug

11:28am

The lead counsel for the NLRB had opined that athletes are employees.

Everyman

11:33am

Can you imagine finding replacement players from the student body? That would be entertaining.

ManicBlue

11:33am

I think it'll be the college students themselves that start to protest, the ones

But the ROC and MC experience won’t be the same if the players are down by 20

Submariner

The brands, history and student sections are what is driving the money, not the

777

11:58am

the student sections/fans are certainly a part of it, but during covid we saw

Covid was only tolerated as it was a temporary thing. No TV deal is going to air

if the tvs had to choose between high level play and empty stadiums and low

Noah is doing what’s best for his family

mjmill All-American

11:23am

How do we know he's doing it for his family?

No touching

11:28am

Why can't he be doing it for himself? Would you give a bunch of money to all your siblings?

No touching

11:35am

Is he not part of his family?

SUAVO

12:06pm

I mean... yes... but a good education is far more important for his future than an immediate financial boost...

Coug

11:36am

BYU is a good school. So are a lot of other schools.

Boring

11:45am

Harvard won’t be paying him but others will

puntersarepeople

12:16pm

He can always come back to school after playing days are over🤔

Syre

11:52am

Sure... doesn't happen as often, but sure yes

Coug

12:01pm

He can't do both?

SUAVO

12:07pm

Sure but if he gets a 500k bag he can buy a nice house and never pay a mortgage

puntersarepeople

12:15pm

Very few people live in the same house their whole life🤔

Syre

12:20pm

If he gets a 500k bag he'll be left with what, 350k after taxes?

No touching

12:20pm

Not sure exactly. But still, it’s life changing money

puntersarepeople

12:23pm

Long-term impacts of a decision should always outweigh short term benefits

CLCougar

Paging Ryan Smith

I've only "heard" about chat-GPT and we've seen people post results of projects,

AF_Puma

franklyvulgar

The fact that it can hold normal conversations is the scary part.

Yiowa

I guess too many movies computers that take over.

AF_Puma

Man, AI is going to get worn out very quickly with all these requests.

OmahaThunderCoug

11:56am

Once it can start getting pissed off. That’ll be where the action happens

A Drew Aitch

Already coming:

Yiowa

12:25pm

I was wondering why we didn't go after the Great Osobor. 2MM reasons

vabeachcoug

11:20am

I would expect about 20 other schools and 20 other players to do this deal

Corn

11:23am

Seems as though UW is sliding all their chips on Osobor.

Carnac

11:24am

It is really hard to like a lot of CBers – so much angst.

Benfica1

11:19am

Man, I hate posts whining about whining! They are almost as bad as comments

Courtimedes

11:22am

Me too. Stop it, Swiftie.

Benfica1

11:24am

It’s Cougarboard not Stoicboard. We’re all in metaphoric menopause (or literal)

wisconsincougs

11:22am

To me, it seems more similar to teenage girl hormones?

Acorn

11:27am

I wanted to break out laughing, but now I am crying :(, those darn CB posts!

Syre

11:34am

Why wouldn't every player on every team get in the portal every year? Someone

willkie40

11:18am

It’s getting there

franklyvulgar

11:20am

there is little downside for the good players. For the project players, there

cwilke1

11:21am

True. I bet almost all players enter the portal in 2025 for the NIL cash grab.

Benfica1

11:21am

More upside than risk, but technically, you risk your current spot on a team by

NOCAL_YFAN

11:22am

If you can't find a landing spot, and your current team won't take you back

willkie40

11:27am

Yep. You go to market each time the portal opens.

Carnac

11:24am

You lose your scholly, so if you are not as desirable as you think, you'll end
