Absolutely. To be clear, I have no problem with not using every single practice.


I'm just a regular, everyday normal guy,
I can't afford a car, I use public transportation,
I don't mind, I read till I reach my destination,
sometimes a newspaper, sometimes a book,
the money I save, this stuff is off the hook,

I predict that a bunch of the Bronco criticizers will turn on Sitake after game 2 (utah loss)and start calling for Ty Detmer to take over the team. BYU's fan base is spoiled and may learn a hard lesson, kind of like when Nebraska ran off a 9 win coach in order to have losing seasons for a couple years in a row.

I was complaining yesterday about no open practices. It's silly and ridiculous. The idea that every practice is going to have super secret game plan information in it is absurd. 90% of every open practice BYU has ever had has been position drills that every football team from middle school up runs exactly the same. There is absolutely no reason why a team can't hold an open practice while still giving away nothing about the team.

Just remember, Bronco hated the fans and Sitake is a different kind of coach.

Maybe Nick Kurtz is running post patterns like usain bolt and taysom is riding the walking scooter.

I did see what looked like Kalanis hat on the side of the freeway at 6000 south headed northbound today on salt lake.


Finally figured out how to get the Rich Rod quote off my signature that randomly showed up! Sorry if you thought I stole it from you……..whoever it was that used to have it

And why would you want to go and watch position drills?

The same question is often asked of football fans why they'd want to go watch a game. I find it interesting and enjoyable.

To each his own I suppose.

I'd rather the team and new staff not have to deal with the distraction that an open practice brings.
