An Actual Video Of 6-Foot-7, 410-Pound Motekiai Langi Playing "Football"
Yesterday I wrote that there was no video available of BYU’s newest recruit, Motekiai Langi, from the island nation of Tonga. As it turns out there is a very short video of Langi playing something resembling football at a Tuhulu football camp. It doesn’t show much, but the “light on his feet” com...
BYU Signs 6'7", 410 lbs. Hulk Based On Two Year Old Pickup BBall Game
The most intriguing news out of signing day—at least for those who find tracking every tiny movement a bit weird—was that a 6'7", 410 pound manchild signed a letter of intent to play football at BYU. The problem was, nobody knew jack shit about Motekiai Langi. No grainy highlight reel, no photos of ...
Double-OT Miami Beach Bowl Ends In All-Out Fight Between BYU & Memphis
It's a Monday afternoon, and thus time for college football live from an MLB stadium. Today's Miami Beach Bowl between BYU and Memphis may have been this season's most exciting football game—Memphis hit a 55-yarder to stay alive and then grabbed a game-ending interception to seal a 55-48 win—but it'...

That's How You Hail Mary

NCAA Declared Student Ineligible For Entering Costume-Optional Fun Run
It's clear now that the NCAA uses public opinion as its final appeals process.

This Is The Photo That Got A BYU Football Player Suspended
No, really. That's it. That's Spencer Hadley, senior linebacker, having what looks like a swell time in this undated photo from what looks like a club located in the dark heart of somewhere sinful. Hadley's the one in the greenish-blue shirt in the middle, holding up a bottle of what we're guessing...
BYU's Radical Uniform Change Lasted About Four Hours
Yesterday afternoon, BYU head coach Bronco Mendenhall announced a radical change: for the upcoming season, the Cougars' jerseys' nameplates would be replaced with either "tradition," "spirit," or "honor," or what Mendenhall calls the core values of the program. Well, the players weren't happy. ...
Picking Your Nose On Television Is Not A Violation Of BYU's Honor Code
Hot on the heels of a fervent nationally-broadcast nosepicker, a BYU fan is running with the nostril-spelunking baton. Last night's NIT bout in Provo between the Cougars and Washington turned out to be a snoozer, but even early on this gentleman was more interested in his own sneezer....

Last month, he addressed the former by firing coach El...
Cincinnati And UConn Said To Ponder Starting Yet Another Geographically Absurd Conference
With the Big East in full meltdown mode, two of the traditional basketball powers are considering a move to the ACC—or, barring that, UConn and Cincinnati will take their ball and go start their own conference, according to The Sporting News. The only flaw in this plan is that the new conference wou...
