  • Retzlaff

    I was surprised to hear such praise for Jake Retzlaff when he returned for pro day. At the very least the guy let down an entire team & embarrassed the university by violating the school’s honor code. At worst, he let down an entire team, embarrassed the university & brutally assaulted & raped a girl. Either way, I’m not sure why BYU and the hosts of this podcast would speak so highly & be so happy to have a guy like him return.

  • BYU SHOULD BE IN

    Guys, don’t capitulate so easily. Stick to your guns. Should Miami be in over BYU? Notre Dame? It’s an obvious no. BYU was robbed this year & that sentiment should be repeated without apology.

    By pretending things worked out fairly bc of the Tech loss, you give credibility to the obvious bias & bigotry evidenced by how things shook out.

    BYU got screwed. Say it & move on. There is no justification for it, so stop trying to justify the committee’s decision.

    Catering to those who hate you does... more
