- I can’t stop laughing about this quote from Jon Rothstein’s wife in the Athletic profile about him
- Joseph Smith at a BYU game? Bet everything on the CougarsASU 2025 DB commit Joseph Smith (@three9liljoseph) is expected to be in Tempe for the BYU game. He's the No. 66 CB prospect nationally.
- Parker Kingston REFUSES to let anyone forget that he was the 2022 Utah high school 100-meter dash state champion
- Dave Portnoy’s review of Nico’s Pizza in Provo brought in so many new customers and created so much demand that Nico’s ran out of dough and will be closed on Saturday. An unbelievable feat. So happy for such an awesome local business.
- Joe Burrow with the Dan Flashes drip 🥵 The dangerous nights crew just got even more elite @ITYSL_memes
- BYU fans on the jumbotron doing horns down in front of a Lego Joseph Smith flag. What a sight.
- BYU did plenty to beat itself tonight… but I can’t believe that Kansas pooch punt actually worked to perfection. Legitimately unbelievable.
- Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes have teamed up for this commercial to promote BYU’s alumni tailgate charity drive in Lubbock this weekend. As part of the Cougs Care initiative, the tailgate will be collecting new and gently-used books to donate to Literacy Lubbock.
00:00 - Stephen A. Smith can’t believe AJ Dybantsa is going to BYU. AJ: “who said I can’t play Duke at BYU?” This dude is already a Cougars legend.
00:00 - Napoleon Dynamite (aka Jon Heder) is here with @OreIdaPotatoes for BYU. Unbelievable crossover event.
