The undisputed fastest running shoes in the world are 3mm drop & the 26.2 World Record is now 1:59:30. When I first put shoes in my toaster oven to create the world's first cushioned Zero Drop running shoes in 2008, the nearly all running shoes were 10-12mm drop & (cont. part 2)

@WanIsAmazing @NFL_DovKleiman If you actually believe that BYU students actually do this I don't know what to tell you...

[Golden Harper @RunGolden1]

@bmarcello Three former BYU football players in the top 10: Sitake, Whittingham, and Sarkisian. Very cool, but potentially slightly over-ranked.

Kipchoge's shoes he used to break 2 hours in were only 4mm drop.

@benbergan The shoes Kipchoge broke 2 hours in were only 4mm drop

Part 2: ...and the World record was 2:04:29. 5 minutes faster in 17 years and change. For reference, the previous 5 minutes took 40 years, going back to Derek Clayton's 2:09:36 in May of 1967!

@Ficklin4Heisman @BYUfootball @Utah_Football It's been nearly 7 years since Utah beat BYU in football...

@singulieroblige @CSP_News Go drive in Europe or the UK and it will make sense quickly. Traffic flows SO much better when people stay out of the outside lane. People passing on the right is dangerous. People having to weave in and out of traffic is dangerous. Move right and the morons can speed on the left

@Apollod282477 @LOBig12 But if you're looking for "things to do" that are drug, sex, and alcohol related, you're probably right.

[Golden Harper @RunGolden1]

@Apollod282477 @LOBig12 I mean, I guess if you don't like huge mountains, waterfalls, great food, mountain biking, trail running/hiking, longboarding down the canyon, waterskiing, flyfishing, a great tech scene, and all kinds of entertainment that aren't alcohol related, then yeah.

@KKaifes11712 @LOBig12 Disgusting comment

[Golden Harper @RunGolden1]

@onX4sports @LOBig12 Possibly true, but also, due to the high married population, it's been shown that there is more sex going on at BYU than any other university in the country.

[Golden Harper @RunGolden1]

@GeorgeThoros @TheChosenUte According to all the metrics, BYU's schedule was average for the Big 10. Statistics say BYU would likely have had the same record with an average Big 10 schedule.

[Golden Harper @RunGolden1]

@GeorgeThoros @TheChosenUte BYU's #22 composite strength of schedule was right in the middle of the Big 10. B1G schedule was tough this year for sure, and BYU's schedule was on par with the average B1G team.

[Golden Harper @RunGolden1]

@GeorgeThoros @TheChosenUte According to an aggregate of all the Strength of Schedule rankings (Massey Composite), BYU's SOS was #22 in the country & nearly identical to Iowa, Indiana, USC, Michigan St, and Illinois. And unlike all those teams but Indiana, the only team they lost to was the #4 CFP team.

[Golden Harper @RunGolden1]

@secnumbersguy That #4 Big12 team was tied with 3 teams and while they finished that way due to tiebreakers, most anyone in the know would bet on many other B12 teams over them.

[Golden Harper @RunGolden1]

@AllinYellin @HawkGuyEnjoyer Except a middle of the pack Houston Team who played about the easiest schedule of the Big 12 teams just beat LSU of the SEC...

[Golden Harper @RunGolden1]

@HawkGuyEnjoyer Against other conferences, Big 12 is 2-0 and SEC is 0-3. Iowa State of the 'Mid 12' beat Iowa this year and is in the bottom half of the Big 12. B1G is top dog this year, but only their top teams...bottom half is pathetic.

[Golden Harper @RunGolden1]

@MidwestSportsMC @woodyVSworld Or matchups are a thing, and Oregon is probably the worst matchup for Texas Tech on paper. We'll see I guess.

[Golden Harper @RunGolden1]

@618Harmonics @TexasTweetsonX @woodyVSworld How could anyone know that??? Statistically, both were easily playoff teams. But stats don't win games so who knows?
