It means I don't know about BYU "high level sports". Mentally and physically more mature. Out of shape? Maybe.. But it also seems that the tabernacle environment has fewer of them leaving early. They tend to have way more juniors and seniors on the team not leaving early for the draft. It's a bit of an advantage in some ways. Not enough to beat the 5*s at the flagship SEC, B1G and Big 12 school even when they are leaving early with more young bloods stepping up though..

How do you think Saban would react if half his top recruits every year left for the Peace Corp for 2 years? He'd be ticked. That's because no coach who cares mostly about winning football would encourage his recruits to step away from the game for 2 years. Why? Because it makes team management a pain and any supposed mental and physical maturity they gain during the time away is not worth it.
I had friends who played various SPORTS, including football, at BYU prior to and again after their missions. Each of them said it took at least 1 year of dedicated training just to get back to where they were before they left.
If you want to tell yourself it's an advantage to feel better about a bunch of old, married balding dudes beating your team, go ahead. But don't come around trying to make that argument to others.

Cool scene in App St on Game Day today. They deserve if.
ND losing at the half 10-7 to Cal. Trouble in ND. They are giving Nebraska a run for their money. Urban Meyer to Nebraska rumors????
My Gophers rolling a really bad Colorado squad early.

Nebraska is too much of a crater for Urban to actually take that job.

Ya App State deserves the love. I'm still hoping my daughter decides to transfer there for her last 2 years.

Welcome to the schizophrenic world of the Oregon ducks. That was a beat down.

The tv broadcaster for ABCs Husky Game coverage just said “big Penix energy” - bet he cooked that up last night and couldn’t wait to drop it on air…
Edit: now he says “premature snapulation”… this guy is enjoying his last day on the job I guess
OMG the guy is RG3!!! Hahaha!!!Last edited by jfost; 09-17-2022 at 08:18 PM. Reason: Adding

Sort of sad watching Miami learn that Mario is actually a mediocre coach at best. He might be the best recruiter in the game but man, his offense is straight out of 1990.

Ducks are definitely better than what they showed against Georgia. My Cougars were definitely over rated, but got their tails handed to them. They tried to make it a bit more of a game in the 4th, but the Ducks were too tough. Looking forward to watching the Ducks the rest of the year, especially when they crush the Utes.

It was sarcasm on the ignorance of 6 wins being bowl eligible
IMO, it should be a minimum of 8 wins

How’d you sneak that by the honor code enforcement? Great game by the Ducks. Physically dominant. I’d love to see some more down the field plays. They only had the one deep ball to Franklin right when I was yelling at the TV for play action. Swamp rats and fuskies look pretty good too.

PAC 12 almost always has that. Even in Oregon’s dominant years, they had plenty of different challengers. The Cougs always pull off at least one upset a year. It’s good to see the swamp rats putting up a good team. I’d love to see the fuskies lose every game every year, but they’re way too big of a school to stay bad although they tried. I’m surprised the Nerds have fallen on hard times. Shaw is a great coach. Maybe having to go to class hurts the team. I’m shocked at how bad Arizona school for usc rejects is. You’d think high school jocks would love to go to a party school. As usual the PAC will devour itself and the national media will say it sucks. I’m guessing the eventual champ has 3 losses.
