Cougz

His name is Kyle Van Noy. He was a 5 star recruit and plays for the Detroit Lions. He actually was kicked off the team for the whole year before he was allowed to play. He had scholly offers to about 20 p-5 schools that he could have chosen to go to instead and not have had to serve the 1 year suspension (Underage drinking was the violation by the way). He went on to be a very upstanding guy and probably did more good in the community than any other BYU player in a long time. He has a lot of foundations he runs here and although he lives in Detroit is very involved in the community in Provo. This is a terrible example. I urge you guys to read that book its awesome. I get it we have had some terrible incidents lately. The punch was completely ridiculous and he should have been suspended for it. This story big red is referring to is nothing but a very uplifting story and you are completely off about punishment and everything else involved with it. We have a bit of an image problem right now that I hope gets turned around. I feel bad about the TE incident. I don't think it was intentional. I think he didn't know it he had the ball or not. Should have been flagged but I don't think it was intentional. Other than that I think the game was pretty well fought and there is some major grasping at straws on this topic. Hope you guys are doing well in Lincoln. We as a fanbase really believe you guys for the most part are some of the classiest fans we've met. We have a ways to go in that dept and I will be cheering for you anytime we see them on TV.

Look at his pre-injury numbers last year: 88/132 (66.7%) - 975 yards - 7 TD - 3 INT - 87 rushes - 460 yards - 5.3ypc - 8 TD Those are really, really, really good numbers. for comparison here is Tommy Armstrong in the same first 4 games: 52/94 (55.3%) - 886 Yards - 9 TD - 2 INT - 40 rushes for 344 yards - 8.6 ypc - 2 TD So you pointed out the teams Taysom played in the first 4 games. Tommy's first 4 games were FAU, Mcneese St, Fresno state, and Miami. Look at his pre-injury numbers last year: 88/132 (66.7%) - 975 yards - 7 TD - 3 INT - 87 rushes - 460 yards - 5.3ypc - 8 TD Those are really, really, really good numbers. to provide a little context for Tommy Armstrong - those stats primarily came against four teams that finished a combined 21-29. And one of those teams was an FCS School. FAU 3-9. Mcneese St FCS 6-5, Fresno St 6-8, and Miami 6-7. Those are worse teams than what Taysom played against.

I didn't know Mormons hated Jews that much. HAHA Just so every one is clear. We don't shoot rabbi's in Utah. The Jewish population pretty small in Utah but not because we shoot at them. I do know why we would need rabies shots do you guys bite alot of people there in Lincoln?

Who's claiming to be world beating? I think BYU could beat maybe 40-45% of P-5 schools. Nebraska could probably do 60-65%. I think it will be a fun matchup but nobody who live outside the mental hospital is predicting national championships here.

So you and JimmerJammer are married, together, partners? Or is it coincidence? I walked into to that one I guess (Jimmer Fredette). Probably funnier to my fanbase that the huskers sorry

Haha I saw those tweets. Did he have a bad interaction with Bronco at some point? I know he is kind of a wierd guy, I don't think I have ever heard him be referred to as a jerk. He did get one point right as a religious institution that wants to stand for what is right the brawl isn't a good look for us. But we don't have 60 Jesus's running around in pads. We have 60 18-24 yr olds who make dumb choices at times. Just like any team. Its sad this happened and hopefully it doesn't happen again. Hey we are asked to refrain from sex till marriage we have a lot of built up frustration that we got to get out somehow

Just to put this to bed the Kellen Huston incident has nothing to do with the BYU brawl. The only point is He decked a guy and got a one game suspension. Kai Nacua decked a guy and got a one game suspension. some people think Nacua should get a bigger suspension, I see those punches thrown as similar, and they got similar punishments. The reason I believe the fight turned into a brawl is because the game was over and all the players were already on the field at that point. If it was the middle of the game the coaches most likely could have kept the players off the field and the incident could have been broken up real quick. I truly believe this. I think with the Miami game last year if all the players were already on the field it could have escalated similarly, but there was still 2 minutes left and it was just the Miami offense and Neb defense and the refs and coaches were able to step in real quick fortunately. But hey maybe we are just a bunch of classless thugs. I would just hope you would want you players to step in to rescue you starting center as he is getting helmets swung at him and players stomping on him, regardless of whether he started it or not.

Yeah not too happy about this. assault and rioting sounds a little more extreme than it is. He got in a fight with a tow truck guy in provo for his tire being on the line rather than between the lines. really bad timing.

And what about Lawrence Phillips? huh?

Finally! We have a logical explanation. Thank you.

Cue JimmerJammer berating your for beating a dead horse. The BYU brawl happened one game ago. Kellen Huston's punch happened 150 games ago. How dead is that horse? Nebraska suspended 100% of the guys involved in the Kellen Huston event, Cougz. Will BYU suspend 100% of the guys involved in the brawl? Did you suspend 100% of the people involved with the fight against Miami there was alot of pushing and shoving which is what the MAJORITY of the fight was against Memphis. Watch it. Some will be suspended some graduated and will not be punished because its not really possible. Most of it was pushing and shoving. There was some ugly parts as well that were dealt with. Look at the tape and tell me which players you think should be suspended?

This is a good point 1995. Kellen Huston is now 33ish would be my guess, so he is probably not with the team anymore. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Are you saying it was OK knock someone out 10 years ago and now its frowned upon?

I'm not going to apologize for caring about the integrity of the game. I think it's a crock that Memphis only suspended two players for a full game or more over this. It was an ugly brawl that in no way represents what college football should be about, and it's not too much to ask that the schools involved step up. Sportsmanship is still important in college athletics. It's unfortunate that the team we're opening against is embroiled in this. I'd much prefer to play a fully-staffed opponent, their best players against our best players. We don't have that luxury, so we play the hand we're dealt. Nobody is hoping that BYU suspends X-number of players so Nebraska can win. Integrity of the game? Kellen Huston was suspended for one game for blindsiding a fat Mizzou boy. He wasn't even in a fight he just decked him as he ran by. You are being pretty hypocritical about that. Thats right 1 game for this. Get over it and go cheer for your Huskers So a fan can't care about the integrity of the game because a player (which that fan has no control over whatsoever) on the team he roots for happens to hit a fan of an opposing team? Do you think that we were all sitting around and clapping for Kellen after that? Not at all. There are some people on this board that are absolutely indignant that a 1 game suspension is all some of these players are recieving when just a few years ago something like this happened and he received the same punishment. Nobody is saying Nacua was correct in what he did. He is being suspended for it and it is a similar suspension to what happened with your team.

"If, by blindsided, you mean "punched the guy yelling in his face," then yes, he blindsided him" Right.....its not common to just cold c$%k someone for yelling and cheering while running past you
