A BYU sports blog

UNLV (Men's Basketball)

So today is a pretty big game for the Cougars. UNLV is always a difficult team to play, even in the Marriott. Last year didn't turn out the best for the Runnin Rebs, but BYU definitely went in the toilet against New Mexico on Saturday, so who knows what to expect for sure. I'm not sure what to expect as far as crowd turnout, except I do expect a lot of students to show at the very least. We're going about 6 tonight to try to get the best seats possible. I guess this is somewhat of an experiment for the season to see just how early we need to go. It seems like we keep needing to go earlier and earlier to get decent seats. But I'm definitely looking forward to mocking Darger and Wink tonight.

Chris Miles (Men's Basketball)

Chris Miles was getting chewed out by Coach Rose for having only made 7 (it's actually 8, but Rose said 7) rebounds in 3 games of conference play. Rose was screaming for Miles to put a body on somebody and get some boards. Hopefully that changes here pretty quick for Miles sake and the team.

Change of Direction

So the bowl game blog didn't really work out like I would have hoped, so I decided to completely revamp this bad boy and turn it into a BYU sports blog. I'm sure it won't be nearly as exhaustive as I would like, but I'm going to try to cover what I can. I'm still in the Provo area at least until April, so I should be able to comment about things from a more personal perspective by attending many of the events. If anybody happens to stumble upon this blog and enjoys what you read, please pass it along and I am certainly open to inviting other authors along for the cause. I plan to attend the Men's Volleyball match tonight and so I should have some things to post concerning that match. Volleyball is not a sport that I am terribly up on and I'm going to need some serious reminders of the players, but I'll do what I can. Hopefully I get some sort of readership. Thanks!
