Jesus wants WHO for a sunbeam?

@elonmusk @t_blom When will fsd have a desired speed again? It’s frustrating even on mad max my model y won’t go any over the speed limit on 80mph highways here in Texas. If I don’t somewhat consistently press the accelerator it slows to mid 70s.

Thank you Elder Rasband

Some big names have shifted full anti-Trump. Others are full pro-Trump and insist that he can never be criticized and anyone who questions him or expresses any skepticism about anything he does is a traitor to the cause. Fewer and fewer prominent figures on the right are staking out the only actual sane position, which is that Trump is a politician who sometimes we will agree with and sometimes we will not agree with, and our right and responsibility as Americans is to be honest in either case.

[Matthew Watkins @ITalkOfChrist]

One of the great and timely quotes from our new Apostle, Elder @ClarkG_Gilbert. Don't confuse charity with toxic empathy. Christlike love never requires abandoning Christlike standards.

y'all see that?

“I love the Lord Jesus Christ. May we strive to see Christ at the center of our lives, of our faith, and of our service. That is where true meaning lies. Until that hour, when Christ’s consummate gift is evident to us all, may we live by faith, hold fast to hope, and show compassion one of another.” –Jeffrey R. Holland (1940–2025)

Big Development!

Jay Hill may be out at BYU

The very first order of business has to be to promote Gavin Fowler to safeties coach

Gavin recently verbally committed to be the next DC @ Weber State

But his importance to the continuity of the system & roster can’t be overstated

If you want to keep things moving & keep players here we need to start the keep Gavin movement right now

Jesus Christ was born, He lived, and He fulfilled His mission as the Savior of the world. He is the greatest gift. As you prepare for a day of Christmas celebration, we invite you to ponder the gifts that Jesus Christ has given you. As you do so, we pray that your Christmas Day will be filled with His light and love and that tonight you sleep in His heavenly peace. #LightTheWorld #ASaviorIsBorn

[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints @Ch_JesusChrist]

“Merry Christmas from our Father in Heaven who never flags nor fails, and from His Only Begotten Son, His baby—this baby and our Brother—who grew up to '[bear] our griefs, [carry] our sorrows: [and be] bruised for our iniquities.' We thank our Father in Heaven for the promised Messiah, the greatest gift of all at Christmas.”

Today’s update

EIGHTY SEVEN independent computer systems rate BYU as the SEVENTH best team in the nation on average, but one CFP committee, and their “human element,” have BYU at 11, coincidentally, just outside of the CFP field

Massey Composite ranking… link in replies

[BYU Cougars @BYUCougars]

“Stealing”

[Dave Portnoy @stoolpresidente]

The committee made it abundantly clear it’s not merit based. The playoffs is just the cool kids club and BYU isn’t perceived as a cool kid. ND and the SEC are the cool kids. The whole thing is a sham

[Greg Welch @ArtDirectorBYU]

BYU isn't as well ranked in ESPN's predictive FPI metric, but their RESUME is better than Notre Dame or Miami's.
They have a harder schedule, better wins, and only one loss ... which is why their strength of record is so much better.
AND ESPN WON'T EVEN PUT THEM ON THE GRAPHIC.

[Dave Portnoy @stoolpresidente]

Having BYU behind ND makes college football figure skating or gymnastics. You don’t even need to play the games. It’s so dumb. BYU plays in a power conference. Tougher schedule. They have less losses and better wins. Ruins the whole sport. #provodave #byuscrewed

[BYU FOOTBALL @BYUfootball]

11-1

Headed to the Big 12 Championship.

It would be a disservice to our sport if this team’s not a playoff team.
