Every. BYU helmet. Ever.

Hours upon hours of research, painting, building, vinyling, and mounting has paid off! A full collection of every BYU hard helmet that they have ever worn. Big thanks to @wtfcoach@ilikesports06@ByuTracker and the BYU Archives for the insights!
Idk about yall but this felt so confusing and unnecessary at the time. When they announced something special was coming, idk if I was expecting the lost pages or what, but it was like “really? That’s it?”
This will age as the Family proclamation has. Prophetic. Necessary.
Athletic officials from Nebraska and Georgia sent department-wide memos today instructing their coaches and sport deputies not to schedule Texas Tech. If games are already scheduled, the schools may work to cancel the matchups.
Here's Georgia's message:
Utah AD Mark Harlan: “As with many around the country, I am disheartened by the injunction issued today in the Brendan Sorsby matter, which will allow him to compete this fall despite clear violations of NCAA policies and ethical guidelines. We are all committed to supporting student-athlete well-being, but we also must have a definitive path forward that preserves the most basic tenets of competitive integrity in our industry.”
As a veteran Texas litigator who has fought my fair share of TRO/TI battles, several things to be aware of regarding the temporary injunction order issued to allow Brendan Sorsby to play for Texas Tech this season:
(1) The temporary injunction obtained by Sorsby is valid through the date of trial. So by setting the trial date for after the college football season ends the Lubbock County state district court effectively awards Sorsby ultimate relief; he can play the full season under the TI, excluding only the first two games carved out in the text of the TI order.
(2) In Texas a TI is subject to immediate (“interlocutory”) appeal. The appeal will go to the 7th Court of Appeals in Amarillo, Texas.
(3) The problem with the appeal is that even an accelerated appeal of the TI order is likely to take at least 9 to 12 months, meaning the college football season will be long over before the Amarillo Court of Appeals affirms or vacates the TI.
(4) The only way the interlocutory appeal of the TI order gets resolved before the college football season ends is if the Amarillo Court of Appeals orders expedited briefings and decides the appeal “on the papers” without oral argument. But even such an expedited appeal is likely to run well into the college football season.
(5) At bottom, as Diego Pavia and now Brendan Sorsby illustrate, these sort of emergency injunctive proceedings are a huge problem for the NCAA: hometown judges (in Texas elected at the county level) err on the side of granting the TI to allow the key player to play for Hometown U, and the college football season is much shorter than the appellate process. So the preliminary ruling on the emergency injunction effectively decides the entire case and, if granted, allows the player to play a full season.
This was the worst coaching job I have seen in a hot minute. Back to back years with FIBA USA where the coaches have no idea how to use a long, athletic wing.
AJ was not featured last year at all and barely touched the ball. Same story this summer. Bruce got no plays. They sat him in the corner and he averaged like 6 FGA a game.
Coaching staff had zero plan on offense. It was anemic, same dang play every single trip down the court.
I used to work at the Deseret Book right across from Temple Square when I moved to Utah. I met a woman every day going into work who yelled at me telling me I was going to hell because I was Mormon. She wore all white and paraded around temple square every for years. Many of you probably met her.
I had a conversation with the Temple Square mission president at the time who told me that she was probably the single best missionary in the entire world. The number of people who would hear her hatred, get curious, and then wander into Temple square and talk to missionaries was not small. She generated TONs of referrals.
That seems relevant this weekend.
@RyanMcC70677100@EnochWhite2025@BlackLabelAdvsr@BasedMikeLee There is no planet in which this person, that commented twice on the same post with this garbage, is worth genuinely engaging with. They are more worried about Jesus being brown in a meme than talking about doctrine.
@cnystrom@BlackLabelAdvsr@BasedMikeLee So when you get married you are two separate beings. So one in purpose, not in being. 🤯 Thanks for backing me up!
