I #givethanks for Caroline. From this playdate in 1961 to rockin' it in 2020. For 41 years she's stood by my side as my partner and best friend. I love her more and more every day.

Can someone please explain what the hell is going on here?

[J La Smith @JLaS57]

@DurrantMark @gregwrubell Let me know the next time you are missing @CoachMarkPope and I’ll swing by with a 1/2 bottle of water. . . . .

[J La Smith @JLaS57]

@jaromjordan @BYUSportsNation Ah ha. In the immortal words of Roseanne Roseannadanna “Never mind”. Enjoy KC! #GoCougs

[J La Smith @JLaS57]

@BYUSportsNation #BYUSN After Tuesday, I expect the Cougs to thump TCU - remember, we're not in Kansas anymore and there's no place like home . . . . . .Go Cougs!

[J La Smith @JLaS57]

@Spencer_Linton @jaromjordan Golden Richards, arguably the greatest home-grown athlete to wear Cougar blue in the 20th century, died Friday. He was certainly one of the fastest BYU wide receivers of all time. R.I.P. Per his request no services are planned. Peace to his family.

@BYUSportsNation #BYUSN I only get 1 choice? They're all true, + Coach of the Year and Elite 8!! Go Cougs!!

[J La Smith @JLaS57]

@GSchaerr @BradWilcoxIFS @McCormickProf @BoydMatheson @KSLcom @KSL5TV @FamStudies @GSchaerr - I haven't heard that name since I was a freshman at BYU living in John Hall-how quickly time has gone by-I, too got married before my BYU senior year, got an MBA-have 6 kids & 9 grands & a wonderful 40-year career in HR working for the Church. My life is full!

[J La Smith @JLaS57]

@BYUSportsNation #BYUSN. Overreaction? If we can win 4 out of our first 5 games why can’t we win 4 out of the remaining 7?

[J La Smith @JLaS57]

@BYUSportsNation #BYUSN. Consistency on the offensive side of the ball will be key on Saturday. Minimize missed blocks, eliminate dumb penalties, give Slovis more time in the pocket/pick up blitzes and out the ball in Parker Kingston’s hands a few more times should lead to success.

@Not_Ssmob3 One of my personal favorites is The Faith of a Child
By Elder Thomas S. Monson October 1975.

[J La Smith @JLaS57]

@BYUSportsNation #BYUSN. Collectively the OL. After being called out by Matich, if they have any pride they’ll pull it together and provide a 100 yd bounce for Aidan Robbins. The tirtiary bounce will be for “down the fueld” Slovis- a running game and better line play should help his passing game

[J La Smith @JLaS57]

@CrumblCookies Key lime pie!

[J La Smith @JLaS57]

@BYUSportsNation @BYUfootball #BYUSN. Limit offensive penalties to 3 or less. Start LJ. Script about 5 short passes including a couple screen passes for the first drive or two to build confidence. Go out and have fun (loosen up).

[J La Smith @JLaS57]

@BYUSportsNation #BYUSN NIL? Absetively! In a world of 1 or 2 or 3 and done 1 player can make a huge impact or leave a huge hole. More time and $ spent on NIL is crucial in BBall.

[J La Smith @JLaS57]

Friends This IS family history. Think of the impact this story & this testimony will have on children grandchildren & beyond. Tomorrow write down the story of one of the pillars of your testimony. Bear your testimony & next week do the same. Write your personal history this way

[Caitlin Justin @CaitlinJustini]

My grandpa shared this story about Pres. SW Kimball. I read it to my kids tonight-calling them out on their lack of appreciation for their life & education opportunities & accompanying work ethic. Family history’s a treasure & tool.

Sorry text is small, but it’s worth the read.

[J La Smith @JLaS57]

@KSL_Matt hey check your hair in the back! Have a great day!

[J La Smith @JLaS57]

@BYUSportsNation "Realistic" and "fandom" have a hard time coexisting in my mind... so my best prognostication would be we put the opposition into food comas with ice cream and cougartails (6 wins) at home and we probably go 4-2 on the road (losing to Arkansas and TCU)-with a bowl win for 12-2
