@coug_u My radical ideas are 10 game regular season. Eliminate conference championship games. Top 24 playoff with Top 8 first week bye. Use bowls & expand if needed, for playoff games. If a team ranked 9 thru 24 won Natl Championship, they would play 15 game season. December would rock!
Yet another testimony builder for me! I'm EQ teacher in my new Ward. His most recent talk was assigned for 2 weeks of lessons. What to open with? Where do we start? I felt prompted to focus on the Book of Mormon starting in paragraph 11 to the end of the talk. It was marvelous!
The Book of Mormon is a great witness that the Lord loves all people and reaches out to all, everywhere.
The Book of Mormon adds to our knowledge of how our Savior’s earthly ministry reached out to all of His scattered flock.
Book of Mormon teachings contradict the erroneous assertion that the grace of God saves only a chosen few.
The Book of Mormon teaches that our Savior "inviteth ... all to come unto him" (2 Nephi 26:33). His grace is for all.
Similarly, the Book of Mormon tells us that the children of God in “every nation” have His promise that He “manifesteth himself unto all those who believe in him, by the power of the Holy Ghost” (2 Nephi 26:13).
These promises from the Book of Mormon are true.
I call upon all to act on these truths and to share them with others, that we may all draw closer to Jesus Christ, our Savior.

And find your closest meetinghouse of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the members. We've literally been preparing for these times for decades!
"We encourage members worldwide to prepare for adversity in life by having a basic supply of food and water and some money in savings. We ask that you be wise, and do not go to extremes."
"There are three main components of food storage:
👉Food supply (three-month and long-term)
👉Water supply
👉Financial reserve"

FORTRESS: The Pentagon is preparing every major U.S. military base to survive 90 days without outside support — no civilian power grid, no global supply chains, no outside fuel or water.
The initiative, revealed in documents reviewed by Fox News Digital, envisions portable nuclear reactors, massive battery storage, and microgrids that can disconnect installations from civilian electricity entirely. Strategic reserves of munitions, fuel, critical minerals, and medical supplies would be stockpiled based on wartime consumption rates. Civilian factories are being pre-identified to shift to defense production during a crisis.
Pentagon chief spokesperson Sean Parnell put it bluntly: "Power is combat now. Without electricity, you lose communications, water, logistics, assembly lines and just basic military command structures."

Circle November 14th on the calendar. It's shaping up to be a big showdown in Tucson between the Wildcats and Utes. No one is talking about Arizona, who is destroying everyone as of late and is a quiet 6–1. This weekend's matchup with Tech will be a fun one
It's a long season, not time to panic. BYU will be fine! The field has been leveled with NIL. Every conference will be a grind right up until the end of the season. The Top 25 will continue to see-saw and yo-yo
The disciples watched Jesus die on Friday, not knowing what Sunday would bring.
What looked like the end was only the beginning.
A reminder that some of life’s greatest blessings come after its darkest moments.
Don’t lose faith in the middle of the story.
@collinsworth55@grok Just like the body needs training, the mind needs training and practice in stillness. A great book as a starter is The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer. For a gospel themed deep dive, check out M Catherine Thomas' book Light in the Wilderness–Explorations in the Spiritual Life
@gabrieloak99@0xRuzy It's coping tool Gen X learned to survive emotionally. We grew up with adults telling us to do one thing while they did another. Trust eroded coupled with abandonment issues (we were the latchkey kids). So we were trained to see hypocrisy/irony. Cynical humor became the cope
What a weekend in Provo, Utah ‼️
@CollegeGameDay reached 3M viewers from @BYU, making it the most-watched episode this season & the 3rd most-watched regular season episode EVER 📈
UCF head coach Scott Frost, in his weekly press conference, on welcoming No. 2 BYU to Orlando on Saturday: "It's the Big 12, everybody's pretty close. I think BYU is the the best of the bunch. Obviously, there's some arguments made for some other teams too, but I think they've done a really good job."
"They're big and long and physical. They've got a really good quarterback. There's no holes. There's solid players everywhere. They know what they're doing, they're well coached."
"It's it's an awesome opportunity for us on Homecoming to go shoot our shot, and I think our kids will be excited."
College sport institutions that have vertical alignment coupled with outstanding external business relationships will thrive with #NIL
What's being exposed through a competitive market is that it takes more than a marquee head coach and a couple of rich boosters for success
@MikeConti929@Chase_Swartz3 SEC used to be head and shoulders above the rest prior to NIL and transfer portal. This is no longer true but #CFB has not progressed far enough in the stages of grief to come to acceptance that well run programs like BYU will thrive in the new paradigm. The old ways are gone
@SportyMcSports They had to know that NIL and transfer portal would change the landscape dramatically. They can no longer hoard 5⭐ and 4⭐ players with the only hope being "one day" and "you'll get your turn"
BYU SHOULDN’T HAVE BEEN LEFT OUT OF THE PLAYOFF LAST YEAR.
BYU SHOULDN’T BE LEFT OUT OF THE CHRISTIAN CONVERSATION.
BYU SHOULDN’T BE DISRESPECTED FOR THEIR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS.
BYU SHOULDN’T BE LOOKED DOWN ON BY ANYONE.
BYU SHOULD BE THE #1 TEAM IN THE COUNTRY.
GOD’S PLAN!
Why do people work so hard to tell other people what they can and can't call themselves?
Unless you got legal receipts of a trademark, "but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord," and "those who did belong to the church were faithful; yea, all those who were true believers in Christ took upon them, gladly, the name of Christ, or Christians as they were called, because of their belief in Christ who should come."
@mattwilson_ob No, the General Handbook addresses this, see 38.8.14 Directories
I would send them a polite note that says that they are welcome to schedule an appointment to review professional services and associated fees
I love that we will be discussing a magical October day along the Wasatch Front 20 years from now and 1 second, pass interference, fumble/grounding/phantom hut, and the legend of Bear
