    Samuel. Your assesment of this years BYU team is so far off the mark its not funny. Look at Carlinos stats in the games they lost? Whats he shooting? What did he shoot last year. he cant shoot. Davies is soft. He is a stupid basketball player. He cant stop taking stupid fould. He turns the ball over to much. He shoots just over 50%. Please show me an even decent center that shoots just over 50%? BYU plays in one of the worst conferences in college basketball and they are struggling. They dont have ONE quality win. NOT ONE. The team they have beaten are the little sisters of the poor. Now they have lost 2 games to the little sisters of the poor. Your comments and opinions are clueless.

    Thanks Samuel, I would love to see Brigham Young in Big Ten, but that won't happen. The Big 12 is the logical choice although the Pac 12 would be nice with Utah in there. They need to do something quick. Being an independent is nice, but unfortunately they are not a Notre Dame. Ihope to see something soon.

    Love to see a fellow BYU lover on the page. I am living across from the stadium at BYU as we speak.
