Sunday play kills us. You may talk about everything else, but that impediment is unsurpassable for most of the conferences in my mind.

There will be no expansion for BYU, which is perhaps fated to backwaterville for many years to come.

Someday our biggest rivals will be Wyoming and Utah State. Mark it down.

Some day the big game will be against UVU. Mark it down. Locals won't even have to leave town.

Someday our children (or our grandchildren, as it were) will look at LES and ask "what is that big building for?" And we will reply, "That's the place where people gather for 'Stadium of Fire' on the 4th of July, with a has-been musical act, a conservative demogogue host, and firecrackers."

I imagine driving by LES with my grandchildren and it looking something like the Colosseum in Rome. Tour guides there will relate stories of a football program that was almost great.

I prefer the Roman Coliseum analogy.

The MC already sounds like a morgue most of the time. It will be remembered where Tuesday morning devotionals were held before they went online.

Public gatherings may become passee at BYU as belong to a mob mentality.

Brad rock is a moron. He knows nothing. Sunday Play is a euphamism. Everybody is lying or telling half truths here.
