    Your Biggest "Coincidence"

    Maybe not the biggest coincidence, but about a month ago we were in the middle of nowhere Idaho on our way to Grand Teton National Park. We stopped at a cafe in a town that has to have a population of under 1000 people. After getting our lunch served we heard a big crash behind us and our...

    ***Jack Trice Stadium/Hilton Coliseum alcohol sales thread***

    I don’t know … feels kind of like the slippery slope my mother-in-law warned about when BYU started selling Coke products about 5 years ago.

    Your Biggest "Coincidence"

    In the early 2000s, I was waiting for a Southwest plane to Washington DC not long after my Mormon mission to Russia. I noticed an older lady who by manner of dress and demeanor was a stereotypical Russian babushka at the gate as well. I boarded the plane and took a seat because Southwest had...

    Your Biggest "Coincidence"

    I saw a guy wearing an Iowa state shirt in Monaco. I went to ask him about it and he was from the Philippines, we could barely communicate due to a language barrier, and he had no idea where Iowa was.

    Big XII options for sanctioning Texas Tech

    Well, they could have launched a national robocall initiative aggressively reminding random citizens that keeping Sorsby on the team was vital to maximize the return on their billionaire donors' contributions. Right before sending a follow-up text asking for GoFundMe contributions to offset...

    Big XII options for sanctioning Texas Tech

    They’ll probably act all noble, saying they felt like they needed to support their student athlete while the legal process was playing out and he made a decision for himself on what was best for his future. Then hope it all dies down and gets buried by some other story as soon a possible.

    Big XII options for sanctioning Texas Tech

    Well I mean the state of Utah does have twice as many Big 12 members as the state of Iowa. But I digress.

    Dumbest Thing You Believed

    I guess another dumb thing I believed was how I was going to tell my NBA coach I wouldn’t be able to play in Sunday games. I grew up in a very religious household and both working and playing sports on Sundays was a big no-no. Since I was 100% destined to play in the NBA that upcoming...

    Dumbest Thing You Believed

    When I was a kid I was taught that alcohol was the devil’s brew. One time when I was on an airplane they served sandwiches as the meal (back in the good old days). They also included grey poupon mustard that proudly advertised it was “made with white wine”. I pointed out to my mom but she...

    Dumbest Thing You Believed

    I’ll have to think about for myself a bit, but it sounds like this guy believed in the cybertruck a bit too much: https://www.news8000.com/lifestyle/automotive/driver-intentionally-drove-cybertruck-into-lake-to-use-vehicles-wade-mode-police-say/article_834800f1-2940-5f31-8317-0ca02fea66e8.html
