Good times never seemed so good!

So at the beginning of the month some college buddies from BYU-Idaho and I took a trip down to sunny southern California to see one of our heroes Neil Leslie Diamond. It was at the Hollywood Bowl in L.A. Here are some pics to depict our awesomely amazing time!

Welcome to the JUNGLE!!

Jim Rome.... Host of the jungle. His radio show is ruthless. This isn't your everday sports radio talk show. Typically people call into a show, share an opinion and it gets discussed on the radio waves. If you want to become a "clone" (a caller into Jim Rome's show), you must have your call rehearsed to a perfection. If it is not a legit call and you have no background or credibility, you will most likely get hung up on. He doesn't take foolishness and doesn't mess around when it comes to being accurate with sports.

Just like any other sports radio host, he has prominent sports figures on his show as interviews. Yesterday, one of our most respected head coaches was on his show. To me, this was big. Why you may ask? How often do you have national BYU coverage? As of late it doesn't seem like BYU has received that much national coverage, let alone as a personal interview on the Jim Rome show.

Let's get to the point.... Bronco simply had one of the best interviews I have ever heard. Usually Rome spends only a few minutes with his guests. He was so intrigued with Bronco and the BYU program that he kept him on a lot longer than anyone else.

Listen to the sound clip and you'll see how poised Bronco is and how great of an interview this is.

2008 Heisman Watch

What a great way to start out the 2008 NCAA football season than to have one of our own in the Heisman watch already! Every year at the tail end of the college football year the NCAA picks 1 player who they believe exemplifies the qualities of a great team player, has shown success on the field whether it be passing, rushing, solid defensive skills, etc. This year our own Max Hall is currently in the Heisman watch.

Although this prestigious award can be given to anyone in the NCAA who has portrayed these various qualities, it is most often given to an offensive player. Last year Tim Tebow was the recipient of the award for his accomplishment of rushing AND passing for over 20 touchdowns which had never been done before.






Even though we are only 3 games into the football season, Max Hall has already done the following:

-thrown for 12 touchdowns
-over 1,000 yards
-77.8 completion percentage
-186.82 quarterback rating

If these numbers continue to grow at the rate they are, Max Hall could be in serious contention for this amazing award at the end of the season.

ESPN.com updates this Heisman watch every week. Let's hope that Max continues to produce at the rate he has. Here is the link to see other candidates and what others are saying about Money Max. ESPN Heisman Watch

A twist to the BYU/Utah rivalry

Mr. Jack Johnson

I always tell people that if I'm stranded on a desert island and if there was only 1 music album i could have, what would it be. For me, it is hands down "In Between Dreams" by Jack Johnson.

He is coming in concert this Monday and I've been anticipating this for months now. Some of the reasons I like his music so much are mainly because it fits my personality. His music is super laid back and chill. That's how I am. There is no yelling, no vulgarity, no profanity. It's just like sitting in a sandy beach sippin a lemonade.

Pretty much in a nut shell.... Jack Johnson = good, chill, unforgettable times!

Funny Videos

So I pretty much just love random, funny, hilarious, out of the blue youtube videos. They are pretty much priceless, most of them at least. Here are some that I just recently came across that I seriously could not get enough of.



I will post more as I find them. These are great though!

2008 BYU Cougars!

This year is going to be a special year for BYU Football. The last 2 years have been pretty amazing for BYU. This year, however, many national analysts are picking the cougs to go to the BCS (Bowl Championship Series). This is a big deal because only the top teams in the nation are invited to these bowl games. I can feel that BYU is going to be back on the map with the other powerhouse football teams where they belong. There are only 37 more days until opening kick-off against Northern Iowa. Summer is my favorite time of year, but for 1 reason I hate it. That reason alone is that baseball gets so boring to me after the first few weeks. Who actually sits down in the summer and watches an entire baseball game? I'd rather be outside getting fried in the sun! 37 days until utter joyness and bliss!

Here is a video clip of what BYU football is all about!

4th and 18 anyone? Wasn't that great? Nice defense Utah!! I don't really like to rub things in people's faces, but that is one thing that Kyle Whittingham should be ashamed of. I'm glad he's not our coach! Bronco is the man for our squadron. Always and forever live BYU football!

Rise and shout till the day I die!
