vest that usually we never know anything that is happening and we are left to suffer until one day BYU announces there will be a presser. We have seen it take some time and are expecting that, but seeing the team members do what is best for them in such a vacuum of leadership and enter the transfer portal, our anxiety is increased.

Yes, the Pope era came and went with such fury. That was what was so remarkable. We all suspected that MP wanted to be able eventually to return to coach at KY. I don't believe he ever said such that I remember, but somehow we believed that was the defining job he sought. It just didn't seem like it was even a possibility now, even though the media had him on a numerable list of possibilities. It seemed like they were just attempting to cover and report the possibilities and then one day was have a team being mentioned as a potential top 25 team for next year and the next evening everything is in shambles. Like we were hit by a smart-bomb. As least all the schools that were affected by the first stone that tumbled (SMU hiring the USC coach) only had a few days of wonderment. History tells us it could be a couple of frightful weeks and then you wonder who will be left.
