It costs around 75 million euros for the 11.7 Tesla MRI machine! 😮 😲

I'm glad the CFP committee corrected on BYU and appeared to give credit for the rivalry win at Utah, while some national observers note BYU's narrow victory margin and end-of-game dramatics required.

So let's see what BYU did on Saturday.

Won arguably the biggest game on its schedule to this point--on the road and in the front of the largest crowd in stadium history, for BYU's first away victory in the series in 18 years.

Beat a Utah team whose defense ranks nationally:
1st in 3rd down conversion % allowed
4th in first downs allowed
8th in team pass efficiency allowed
11th in points allowed
14th in yards allowed
18th in passing yards allowed

Utah's defense is elite, and BYU needed to drive almost 60 yards on that defense with no timeouts in just over a minute at the end of the game to have a chance to win it.

In BYU's two 4th-quarter drives preceding the final drive: 8 plays, for -8 yards.

What BYU did in the closing seconds against that defense was as outstanding as it was imperative.

Look at the scores of Utah's Big 12 games:
22-19
10-23
19-27
7-13
14-17
21-22

None of the five teams to defeat Utah this season have gotten to 28 points. The Utes win low-scoring games, and they lose low-scoring games. BYU won the way you have to against the U of U.

There is nothing about BYU's win in SLC that can or should be downgraded.

When you're undefeated this late in the season and in the Big 12 title hunt and CFP picture, every game adds exponential pressure. BYU withstood that pressure to go to 9-0, with five of the wins on the road.

Full marks given.

Players had more postgame class than the coach or AD

A message from Utah AD Mark Harlan:

[coachkellypoppinga @Coach_Popp]

I asked Will on the play previous where he wanted the ball. He said with a big smile “it doesn’t matter where it is it’s going in.” ICE IN THE VEINS! #GoCougs

@MeritMedical, why are we tying our mask after we’ve put on sterile gloves? Are we double gown and gloving?

Best kind of text to get from a recent #IRad graduate of @uab_ir. It’s awesome to see the difference people go out to make in their communities and for their patients.

Always satisfying to remove

[AJ Gunn @ajgunnmd]

Solitary kidney with a renal cell #cancer on the left that is close to the ureter.

Great case for image-guided ablation that preserves renal function better than #surgery.

For me, advantage of cryoablation by #IRad in monitoring my iceball, being safely away from ureter.

Asked ChatGPT to help me explain IR to my kids and here is what it came up with. Most definitely using it. Next up, dad jokes #irad #dadgoals

[AJ Gunn @ajgunnmd]

I love working with my colleagues @uabmedicine to come up with solutions for patients, like in this case. Interventional radiology (#IRad) placed a percutaneous drain into an Indiana pouch to facilitate percutaneous nephrolithotomy. The text message follow up is the best part!

Interesting TACE @uab_ir. Never been treated segment IV lesion with dual supply: LHA and branch of GDA. Noticed crescent-shaped enhancement on initial runs and went looking for additional supply.
