Jake Heaps escorted out of LES

All I'm asking for is a little discretion. Trespassing isn't the same as going to go grab burgers. Not demanding perfection, just some common sense. Jake is a leader. He should have enough sense to tell guys, let's not trespass. If we want to get in the stadium there are other ways to do it. It's all I'm saying.



If it was just to go in and picture themselves making plays on that very field, it is indeed fantastic. Bronco did the exact same thing with the entire team his first as the coach. Understanding the uniqueness and history of the LES is a key component in BYU's success in the stadium.



But the simple fact is, they got caught being where they weren't supposed to be - or at least being there without the proper permission. This isn't a story and it shouldn't be a story. But you know it will be. The guys at the Trib and 1280 will eat this stuff up and it'll be a big discussion tomorrow and all week on the radio. And this whole story wouldn't even be around if Heaps had shown some discretion and gotten permission.



This reminds me of ONeill before the first year. He made some pretty tame comments about some teammates. They got blown way out of proportion and now freshman can't talk to the media. If OC had more experience with reporters and been in the system a little longer, the comments would have been better phrased and he would have been more experienced in dealing with reporters.



Jake will learn from this and has probably already talked to Bronco about it and I wouldn't be surprised if he's introduced himself to all the security staff who monitor the stadium, so that they know who he is and why he may want to come and picture himself succeeding on that field from time to time.



I'd much rather him learn the lesson of discretion in this pretty tame event than something much more serious.

its getting a little stuffy in here. This is ridiculous. Its hardly trespassing in my opinion. Thats like saying deron williams is trespassing when eh goes to the energy solutions arena after hours. just silly. This is no bid deal. stop making it one.

I will drop it and won't post again on this incident. But it would probably still be wise for Heaps to avoid similar situations in the future.

On a side note, what the hell does BYU police beat even have a twitter account for?

Word. Weirdest thing I have ever heard.

I've "trespassed" at LES. And Boise State's stadium. And Wyoming's.

I've also driven up to the front gates at TCU, CSU, and New Mexico's football stadiums to check them out (but the darn gates were locked!).

Rudy trespassed at Notre Dame, and we all know how that turned out!

You mean the guy who played for Notre Dame for one play and one sack and got an awesome movie made about him?



Hopefully Heaps' career has much more play, much less movie, but I wouldn't mind him being carried off the victory field a few times.
