“Our friendship is more important than just the silly outcome of a game.”
I’m a better man today because of an example by a teenager. Ty Koehn is a real life hero
Josh Allen throws 3 INTs & fumbles - “Great QB. Tough break against an incredible defense”
Zach Wilson throws 1 INT & leads his team to victory -
“His receivers & defense won the game”
My worst experience as a BYU fan wasn’t losing to Utah. It was hearing fans at LES boo Taysom & call Tanner to replace him. I don’t care who starts. Cheer for the kid who’s playing
Just a game you say? OK but BYU football has been & continues to be the one thing that keeps my son & me close. During games, I know I’ll get a text. It will reunite us again for the Boise St. game. Thank you,
@BYUfootball
, coaches, & players.

I’ve known hard drinking BYU fans. Strip club attending BYU fans. Non- LDS & non-practicing LDS BYU fans. Weed loving BYU fans. Sailor-mouthed BYU fans. Whatever. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that the BYU community embraces all fans who cheer on for BYU. Come as you are
Kirk Morrison, who was the color commentator for the UVA-BYU game sounded like he disliked BYU. Well, he played for SDSU from 2001 to 2004 & lost to BYU all 4 years. I get the saltiness.
#AztecTears
I get it. Utah has a better football team. Yes, the talent gap is noticeable. But even if Utah beat BYU 90 games in a row, I would still root for the Cougars & hope that 91st would bring us a W.
#BeatUtah
Can we just appreciate the remarkable defensive prep & calls Tuitaki made? Utah was really caught off guard. When was the last time BYU outsacked Utah?
I just want the make a
@gregwrubell
appreciation tweet. At USF, the facility staff commented how hard he worked after noticing USF radio people were long gone. Greg works fb, bb, baseball & wsoccer w little break. And yes, it’s a lot of work. BYU nation is lucky to have him
Folks, Boise St. didn’t have to play BYU this year. But the school went out of its way to keep the rivalry going. I’m grateful for this. I hope this rivalry keeps going forever
When I first started fly fishing 20 years ago, mt goal was to catch a 5 lb trout. I created an email account & twitter handle to remind me of this goal. Took me 15 years to achieve that goal (thanks

). Tomight I’m deserving of a new handle, 10lbtrout
Everyone who dislikes the NCAA can cheer on BYU w soccer team to play in the natty game bc that will force the game to move from Sunday to Monday, something NCAA desperately wants to avoid
OK everyone join me in Chris Jackson fan club. If you own a business & want an NIL deal, please hook him up. We need guys like this at BYU. He makes BYU better. I hope BYU makes him better
BYU has played 8 football games. Will likely play 2 more. Has a shot at NY6 bowl game. Pray tell, does BYU need Pac12 games more or does Pac12 need BYU games more? Ironic, isn’t it? When the smugness wears off, there are only Pac12 tears
In a few weeks, our stake center will be demolished to build a temple in Yuba City. I’m standing where the celestial room of the temple will be when the construction is finished
Noticed a man in his 60’s receiving his own endowment & thought, “Heaven must be smiling today.” Then I saw 30 people in tears hugging his man in the celestial room. Finally I saw him embrace his wife as she entered. There wasn’t a dry eye. I thought, “Heaven must be crying too”
So many salty BYU fans today. Stay mad if you want. I will continue to appreciate the blood, sweet & tears of this team & what they accomplished this year. If you want to piss on your team, go ahead but not at my @
It’s true. After a big BYU win, food tastes better, diet dew feels sweeter, girls look prettier and even mediocre talks in church sound better. Keep winning, BYU.
#GoCougs
Kavika Fonua has 13 tackes against USC. THIRTEEN. And 9 of them were solo tackles. As if that wasn’t big enough, he deflected the pass that allowed Dayan to get an INT in OT. I would say switching him from RB to LB was an excellent move
Why is it considered more brave to express doubt than faith? More fashionable to defend abortion than to defend life? More courageous to abandon covenants rather than to honor them?
Here me out. I love

@byuwbb
on the app & the men’s vb game in the main channel? This women’s team might be the best team ever at BYU. It’s a projected 3 seed w phenomenal players. Let the women shine
I’m grateful for people who judge me for who I am today rather than who I was 10, 20, 30 or 40 years ago. I’ve changed.
I hope we can extend an offer of grace to others by not dredging up their past & acknowledge their present.
The Savior offers that to us
It’s past time,
@TomHolmoe
. Rename South Field to Jen Rockwood Field. It would be fitting for her to start her 30th year as the head coach in 2024 w her name etched on the pitch
This win was arguably Mark Pope’s best coaching job at BYU. He loses two start centers doesn’t have Gideon available. He comes off a heartbreaking loss to UVU. And he leads his team to a critical away win
Yes, Tyler Allgeier stole the spotlight & deservedly so. But rewatching the game, Payton Wilgar pops out again w his ability to shed blocks & make tackles. That’s dude is a gamer. Dang
348 schools play D1 wsc. Making the field of 64 in the tourney is tough. Getting to the final match is only a dream for most.

RPI school in a shootout. Keep shining
Last week, BYU was mocked for appearing to duck UW. This week, it is being praised for scheduling CCU. Public opinion is fickle. Just keep your head down & crush your opponent, BYU
Look I don’t blame NC state players & fans for getting annoyed. They just got beat by a bunch of guys who look like they should be filing tax returns for them
Yes, we're all disappointed but BYU football is giving my family a reason to be united Sat & I'll see good friends again (tri tip is ready). I'm grateful BYU has a football program that gives us a reason to gather. Besides, adversity is but for a moment. BYU will rise again
Give all the credit to the BYU players who didn’t allow Baylor to move more than a yard w a first down & goal at the 5 yard line. Give credit to the coaches for calling the right plays. But man alive, that BYU crowd caused 2 false start penalties & rattled BU players.

This is quite flex tbh. They packed Sunday clothes knowing they would stick around for the championship game. And won’t practice before the big game but they’re super chill. Well played, ladies
Dallin Hall served his mission near this area. There was a huge contingent of fans to cheer him on tonight. He hung around for a looong time to say hi to each fan. What a great moment
I’m really happy for Kalani & the rest of the BYU coaching staff. There have been so many critics. Haters, really. To see them succeed brings me great joy
It blows my mind that the Creator of the universe, the Almighty chose to come into this world as a babe. In a manger of all places. All this so He could indeed take upon Himself our sins, infirmities, pains & sufferings to succor us. To redeem us. God be praised for His Son
Whenever my mind wanders during the sacrament, I try to remember the Savior's piercing question, "could ye not watch with me one hour?" (Matt 26:40)
For one hour during the week, I can set my phone aside, my wandering mind aside and focus on Him who gave all
I pray a lot not because I’m more righteous but because I need a lot of divine help. I pray when I arise. I pray when I drive. I pray in my office. I pray during meetings. I pray before going to bed. I pray more earnestly when I’m in need. He has always been there. Always
Here’s what I know. This BYU football team knows what it is. It’s an embodiment of Kalani. Tough, mature, resilient & loving. Oregon is still trying to figure itself out. Most people are calling for a close game but I say the Cougs by 2 TDs. There. I said it. Come at me
I don’t know if anyone noticed but this was the first game in the past few weeks where BYU didn’t lose edge contain on defense. Sure, there were a few plays were BSU got around, but overall, it was a significant improvement. That made all the difference

I got a call from one of my kids’ bishop wanting to know how to best minister to him/her. I had been waiting a long time for a bishop like this. I’ve been praying.
I know how much bishops have on their plates, so he seeking out the one, my one, meant so much to me
Tell me about your sabbath day worship today. I’ll start. MrsTrout played prelude music on the piano which helped a lot. I choked w emotion as I said the sacrament prayer. I had to pause for a long time. What a sacred experience it was. I’ll never forget today
Man, how fun is this? Sure it’s a long shot at a NY6 bowl but here we are talking about scenarios. The players did this. The coaching staff did this. The fans certainly helped. It’s a great time to be a BYU fan
I love Kalani Sitake. Love the way he teaches toughness & sportsmanship. Love the way he helps players to become better. Love his passion for the game & for life. Love his humility & self deprecating humor. Love the way he expresses genuine appreciation to fans.

“If a couple in your ward gets divorced, or a young missionary returns home early, or a teenager doubts his testimony, they do not need your judgment. They need to experience the pure love of Jesus Christ reflected in your words and actions” - Russell M. Nelson
Impressive work by Mark Pope & the coaches to prepare this team. Utah beat BYU last year & had most guys return. BYU lost the top 3 scorers.
It’s a great day to be a BYU fan
Whatever path you choose in your life, I am rooting for you. For some, it will be in my faith tradition. For many others, it will be another faith or none at all. I hope you find joy & happiness as well as meaning in your path. I hope you can respect my own journey
Ive listened to every

talk & BYU devotional address given by Dallin H. Oaks. Today’s talk was an all timer. I will examine it over & over. I can do better. I must do better

As a little kid Korea, I remember walking past street markets. I would beg my mom for a banana but she couldn't afford one. Many decades later, I can only imagine how heartbreaking that was for her. Could I have supposed that one day I could eat all the bananas until I got sick?
Some of you feel broken but remember:
Ground is broken to grow wheat
Wheat is broken to make bread
Bread is broken to remember Christ
Christ was broken to make us whole
You are worth it for Him
For the first time, the NCAA wsc game was moved from Sunday to Monday to accommodate BYU. Many thanks to the NCAA & Florida St. I’m sure no player will complain about an extra day of rest after a game pls this
We all love the fight in this
#BYUhoops
team but how the players interact w youngsters after the game is even more impressive. Dalt treated Leo (from my ward) like an MVP. Leo so happy about the whole experience, he told his dad, “it feels like a dream!”
