BYU Football, Utah Jazz Hoops, and Utah news. Viewpoints are my own. Lying, dog-faced pony soldier.

This is my sister. She's graceful, talented, and unpretentious. I am proud to be her brother.

So many of our limitations are self-imposed - yes, they exist, but the boundaries of possibility have far more slack in the line than you might believe.

The last time the Jazz won a game, Costco didn't have Christmas decorations up.

[Brian Maxwell @TheBMax]

@AJ3Jazz If only there was a lead strategist, charged with creating a plan for the team, equipped with a tool to stop the game, take a moment to coach the team through a tough situation, and start the game again.
That would be ideal.

[Brian Maxwell @TheBMax]

@davidjsmith1232 Blake Hinson is still out there.

[Brian Maxwell @TheBMax]

Will Hardy, ladies and gentlemen. Maybe he doesn't call timeouts because he has no plan to fix the issues.

[Ben Anderson @BensHoops]

The Jazz called a timeout with 8:30 left in the fourth quarter of a 2 point game, and didn’t call another one as that deficit exploded to as many as 18.

Jazz finished with two unused timeouts at the end of the game. Not sure I get that one.

[Brian Maxwell @TheBMax]

@Tjonesonthenba The Jazz double teamed a terrible 3 point shooter 35 feet from the basket to leave Desmond Bane open.
At some point, Will Hardy needs to answer for this nonsense.

Man Silver gonna fine @RyanQualtrics so hard for all these injuries:

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

Utah Jazz star Lauri Markkanen has sustained a non-displaced fracture in his right hand and will be sidelined for at least one month, sources tell me and @BannedMacMahon.

[Kevin O'Connor @KevinOConnor]

Sad to see Domantas Sabonis quiet quitting on the Kings. 0 points on 2 shots last night.

He doesn't want to be there.

I just don't know who's gonna want him at $45.4M this year and $48.6M next year. Sabonis might be stuck with Sacramento and Sacramento might be stuck with him.

[Herd Bros @TheCFBAdvocate]

Listen, Utah obviously has a great resume with multiple Top 15 wins and zero losses, but the key thing they’re lacking compared to #1 Georgia is a loss to an unranked SEC team.

[Brian Maxwell @TheBMax]

@shre98 Because he has utterly failed.

[Brian Maxwell @TheBMax]

@JeffBiesinger I give it 3 weeks. You will miss providing me a sympathy "❤️" for my reactionary Jazz takes.

[Brian Maxwell @TheBMax]

@hallsrh 10th seed is, what, 38 wins? We would need to go 37--35?

[Brian Maxwell @TheBMax]

@donjazz45man @hallsrh

[Brian Maxwell @TheBMax]

@JeffBiesinger I mean, we lost. Utah has flaws, but they're really quite good. After a loss, I spend a lot more time looking at my own team's gaps than ripping the team that beat mine.

[Brian Maxwell @TheBMax]

@Dansgaming I pulled threat off my warrior tank by using AoE too early in HoT. Finally died from it.
I didn't feel entirely back until I did that.

[Brian Maxwell @TheBMax]

@Victorevans2026 I've had a pretty great experience thus far. People have been really decent. I have picked up several friends - no voice chat, just being courteous.
Maybe it's a level zone thing? I am at about level 20 - moving at a pretty moderate pace.

[Mark Berman @MarkBerman_]

Tim Brando on FOX: “At some point those who are discussing the College Football Playoff Standings are gonna have stop shoehorning three-loss teams out of either the Big 10 or the SEC and start thinking about two-loss teams out of the Big 12 or the ACC.”

[Bobby Football @Rob__Paul]

Pretty cool to see how much BYU’s Kalani Sitake and Utah’s Morgan Scalley respect each other after yet another awesome Holy War.

Both played in the rivalry and both have coached in it for years. Two guys who know how much this means to the Beehive State. College football rocks

[Brian Maxwell @TheBMax]

Sucks to lose. Really does.
Am I crazy to say that I felt less nasty this year? Credit to Scalley and the Utes.
