This is where I tweet about all the things I’m not supposed to talk about... Politics, Religion, Sports, & Money.

Once every 5 years or so, General Conference conflicts with Easter Sunday. I never like it when this happens. There’s something special about being in church and taking the sacrament on Easter. Would love it if the church pushed conference back 1 week during these years.

Squint your eyes… this looks like Saban’s Alabama team from a decade ago… #Indiana #CFP2025

[Brad Ball @bdball]

@StuPadasso366 SEC falling behind in the NIL era. Expect this to continue. Alabama in 2025 = Nebraska in 2005

[Brad Ball @bdball]

Fix college football!

~16 teams

~No byes

~Top 8 host a first round home game the first week of December.

~Second round also hosted at the home field of the higher seeded team.

~Only 1 “Group of 5”team allowed.

Clearly Alabama is the a loser in the NIL era. Indiana embarrassing them in the Rose Bowl. Dynasty not only over…it may be 20 years before Crimson Tide sniff a national title game.

@Jeremy_Eckl01 @GonkWars @UofMcrazies Fired after a 10-2 season… 😂

@PghPennStateDad Here’s the thing… there’s more Mormons (Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) out there than you realize. Over 50k members in Pennsylvania. Probably several families in your neighborhood that meet your criteria (except living in UT).

@Latterdaytruth Yul Brynner… I always mixed them up as a kid. Thought that Elder Oaks was the guy on the chariot!

[Brad Ball @bdball]

Never see a more dominant box score…. #Utes #UtahFootball

[Brad Ball @bdball]

@reneehwilliams I’ll add… missionary send offs and welcome homes at the gate in the airport.

[Brad Ball @bdball]

@reneehwilliams A great list… I’ll give you my SLC perspective. Dragging State Street between a South Temple and 2100 S. The Cottonwood Mall. The Bay dance club. Ski days with little to no traffic in the Cottonwood Canyons. Also… let’s add Rick Majerus and Ron McBride to the list.

@UtahBrad @NickyTizzle420 @stoolpresidente Calls really weren’t that controversial… BYU receiver pulled the Utah defender down trying to get the call. Those at the game didn’t have replay to see it. Resll bad look for BYU… Late Bronco years (in general) were kinda bad years. #MemhisBrawl

[Brad Ball @bdball]

@rappstardds @MUSSemeritus Not so sure… Jenkins lowered his head initiating the contact hoping to plow through the defender.

[Brad Ball @bdball]

@PortcullisUT @sput_nick Yes… I very much miss the priesthood session. A tradition that sadly ended just before my three sons came of age.

[Brad Ball @bdball]

@theSCPshow @CFBAlerts_ No Joke… Alex Smith was an absolute baller in 2004. Undefeated and nobody came with 2 scores of Utah that year. There’s a reason he was taken #1 overall. BTW… Michael Vick probably wasn’t included on this list because his epic season in 1999 was more than 25 years ago.

I have long maintained that BYU football program never recovered from the 1985 loss to lowly UTEP.

Weeks ranked in the Top 10 from 1980 - Oct. 26, 1985 = 26 weeks

Weeks ranked in the Top 10 from Oct. 26, 1985 - 2025 = 22 weeks.

What if I told you that in my 46 years of church, attendance,

I have never sat through a lesson that was dedicated to bashing other people’s religions?

I’m just now discovering that this is unique in my culture.

[Brad Ball @bdball]

@PastorMark Disgusted by this “demonic cult” rhetoric.

[Brad Ball @bdball]

Despite being our beloved leader, I believe he has the greatest resume of any perhaps any person to live in modern times.
1- Renowned heart surgeon
2- Leader of a church with 17 million people
3- Living posterity of over 100 people at the time of his death.
