@Sarge_Ute@Utah_AM lol that dude's an idiot who pays to have a blue check next to his name to make money off rage-bait. He'll never backtrack because doubling down will get him more engagements.
@Anne__Flank@JGdeIx17@ucf_problems A couple plays before the blocked kick, the UCF QB spiked the ball when the clock was already stopped. This should have been ruled as an intentional grounding since the spike exception only applies if the clock was running and by rule should have had a 10 second runoff
@byufanB@BYUfootball Totally agree! The blackout is cool because of the novelty but black isn't a BYU color. Instead we should swap for a navy set with royal trim/accents like the basketball team does.
(basically the recent blackout sets but navy instead of black)
@evanlando_ kudos to UCF for taking action All the "pearl clutching" from BYU fans is a response to this seeming to happen more often than not at our away games. If targeted religious bigotry is a regular occurrence, pushing back on it every time shouldn't be considered "pearl clutching"
@evanlando_ Here's my take as an exmo BYU fan:
Chants like "fuck BYU" or "fuck the cougars" are just sports banter aimed at an opposing team
A-OK
The "fuck the mormons" chant normalizes hating people for their religion. It leads to things like the church shooter in MI last year
Not OK at all
@ScottyGZone Honestly, if a team is down 9, 10, or 11 points in the final couple minutes, kicking the FG first as soon as they're in FG range is 100% the smart move. They already HAVE to get both a FG and a TD, so why waste a single second trying to get the TD first?
@MadenJurphy@RoyalCoug It might not be a massive swing but it's a valid theory.
Betting lines move to have equal $ on both sides of the line. BYU fans don't bet at an abnormally high rate, so most of its bettors are non-fans. To entice more non-fan bets on BYU, the line skews slightly to their opponent
@JWE182@BYUfootball I agree. I feel like with last year, the music choices seemed to better fit the mood they were trying to convey, almost like a movie score
I don't think this year has been bad by any means but I feel like the music hasn't quite hit the mark like it did last year
2025: A+
2026: A
@FullStackTexan I think the only way they could expand seating at LES is to fill in the corners, but everything I've read says there are no plans to expand, and the priority is improving the in-game experience. IMO adding extra seats would be detrimental to that w/out more bathrooms, exits etc
