BYU beat Oregon State last night 44-20. What did we all learn from last night’s game? What does that mean for BYU, Oregon State, the Mountain West Conference, and the PAC-10? Not much. The bowl season is a tradition in college football, and a part of that tradition is trying to extrapolate conclusions based on the results of bowl games. Why? The college bowl system is the most backwards

The Jazz regular season is already a quarter done. It is time to pass out first quarter grades to Jazz players, coaches, and management. Deron Williams—Williams is playing like an All-Star, again. It is hard to think that Williams has yet to go to an All-Star game in his career. From the initial balloting it appears that Williams won’t be starting in the All-Star game, but if he continues

BYU and Oregon State's similarities should make for an interesting game...The December 22nd Las Vegas Bowl Matchup of BYU and Oregon is one of the best non-BCS bowl games of the bowl season.

How the Cal loss affected BYU and USC...For BYU it seemed as if the best place for BYU this bowl season would be the Poinsettia Bowl. The Las Vegas Bowl hinted that they didn’t want the Cougars this season, and BYU always had a better shot at getting a better bowl matchup in the Poinsettia Bowl. Both sides seemed happy not to be affiliated this season. USC’s losing to Arizona really helped

BYU better not be thinking about the Holy War this weekend, because Air Force has the talent to beat the Cougars at home...

The phrase “do or die” is too often attached to games early in the NBA season. Yet, for the Utah Jazz the upcoming homestand will really decide just how far they will go this season... The Western Conference is too good this year for a mediocre team to slip into the playoffs. Last season the Utah Jazz were an eight seed and they went 33-8 at home. Already this season the Jazz have dropped

Something for BYU fans to talk about during another easy win...BYU should easily take care of New Mexico this weekend. It should be a game BYU dominates, which basically means it will be fun to watch for about a quarter and a half. During boring BYU games is the perfect time for speculation about the Cougars.

Another NBA coach fired...There are a few glaring problems with the modern NBA which are now very common throughout the league.

The Utah Jazz organization has a few problems. The Jazz are one of the smallest market teams in the NBA; however, they have the third highest payroll (after the luxury tax) this season.

With special comments from Misthaufen B/R Featured Columnist for TCU football...The winner of this Saturday’s game between the Cougars and the Horned Frogs will have the inside track to win the Mountain West Conference. The winner will also keep their BCS hopes alive. TCU would get a major boost in the polls with a convincing win over BYU, which they will need in order to leapfrog Boise State.

The Mountain West Conference is what we thought it was...Most teams have reached the halfway point in their schedule. Taking a look around the conference it appears that the Big-three of TCU, BYU and Utah are still the class of the Mountain West Conference.

One thing BYU learned this week is to give Harvey Unga the football. Unga was a one man wrecking crew against the weak UNLV defense. Unga ended up with 149 yards on the ground, with almost all of those yards coming in the first half. What was most impressive about Unga was his speed. For the first time this season Unga looked like he was running injury free. With Unga running at full speed

There is a new media created controversy regarding Bronco Mendenhall and BYU football...I am not a great wordsmith, but there is a point where media members who are great writers seem to lower themselves to stirring the pot of controversy.Bronco Mendenhall in his weekly press conference was asked if he is surprised about the criticism Max Hall has received for his turnovers. In response Bronco

Another tough week for the Mountain West Conference...The second tier teams in the Mountain West Conference had a terrible weekend: Air Force fell on the road for the seventh straight time, UNLV lost for the fifth straight time to Nevada, and Colorado State fell on the road to perennial doormat Idaho.TCU, BYU, and Utah continue to be the big three teams in the conference, without another team

Florida State and Oklahoma losing hurts BYU's chances of rising in the rankings...Strength of schedule is a very interesting mistress to any college football team. For BYU it appears to be an incredibly fickled mistress this season. BYU will set their schedule four to five years in advance. In some rare cases they can change their schedule to accommodate a onetime event, like the Oklahoma game

BYU's defense has a chance to make a statement against a good Utah State offense.A team needs to have a level of confidence in their play in order to succeed. This doesn’t mean the team is cocky, but they do need to have a certain swagger. The confidence of BYU’s defense has been wavering since their loss to Florida State. BYU has traditionally had trouble containing mobile quarterbacks.

How BYU makes their adjustments this season will prove how much success they will have.In many ways this season seems to be a flashback to BYU’s 2008 football campaign. There were unrealistic expectations the local and national media placed on the Cougars before the Florida State loss. Now the backlash of the national media who feel like jilted lovers for jumping on the BYU bandwagon before it

When in doubt it seems BYU fans will always return to blaming the quarterback...It has long been believed the most popular player on the BYU football team is the backup quarterback. This love of the backup comes from the high expectations fans put on any quarterback at BYU. The Cougars have a strong tradition of excellent field generals.Young, McMahon, Bosco, Wilson, and Detmer are the gold

From the seven play defensive stand inside the five yard line, the improvement of the defensive secondary,

While the game was in hand for most of the fourth quarter, and it was very clear that there was a difference between where the Aggies are in respect to the Utes, the game was closer than people thought.Utah defense did just enough to win.

BYU loses again, nothing new...Texas A&M 79 BYU 66, no big surprise.It seems to be like day light savings. Set your clock ahead, watch BYU choke in the conference tournament, and then watch them exit in the first round of the NCAA tournament. BYU hasn't gotten a "good" draw for many years; however, that isn't an excuse. Other teams are able to overcome a bad seed, poor play location, or even

If anyone questioned how good this tournament is, then you needed to see the USA vs Puerto Rico game...I have already written about how pumped up I was for another World Baseball Classic, but I can't believe how much fun I have been having watching top notch baseball in March. There is something very interesting about how determined all of the players are in each game.Especially after the

A look at Utah teams and their tournament hopes...Utah State - If you are a fan of the Aggies it was a shot to the gut to see USU get an 11 seed. Yet, another example of how few teams outside of the "Major Conferences" got any respect. It also meant that if the Aggies didn't win their conference tournament they would have been on the outside looking into the tournament. With that in mind, the

How much has Boozer made per game as a Jazz man?The Jazz signed Boozer to a $68 million contract, for six years. It looks, and if you listen to what Boozer actually says(Cleveland fans just lit something on fire at the thought that anyone would take Boozer at his word), Boozer is going to opt out of his contract next season. The Jazz would owe Boozer $12.6 million next year, if he doesn't opt

What is not to like about the WBC?Three years ago baseball started a great experiment. A World Cup style format to showcase the global interest in their game. The result was a success. The tournament had better than expected ratings. The teams were well represented (not including Italy which was a joke four years ago). The players seemed to enjoy representing their countries, and the
