The Cougars are OUT

I'm so proud of BYU for choosing to go independent in football, and proud of our friends who were intimately involved in making it happen! You know something exciting is happening in sports when Steve and I are is spending a lot of time talking about it.

BYU as a rule doesn't like to rock the boat, but they rocked it, baby!  I couldn't be happier.

I'm excited too.
We're in town and I drove by your house the other day because I wanted to show John how cool it is (location/ retro style etc).
I would have knocked but kids were tired and I didn't think you'd appreciate unannounced visitors in the middle of the day.

question: do you guys have access to any game tix we can buy to go to the game Saturday? I know John would love to go and I'm just gonna resort to the usual channels (craigslist/ ksl) but wanted to check with the BYU employee/ Provo local first.

maybe we can see you?

I, too, was surprised by the boat-rocking. Let's see if it leads to anyone else willing to "go overboard."

Totally agree. And I'm sure you had a front row seat to what really went on behind the scenes. Oh that we had a law job at the Y.

I so covet your involvement in BYU. Provo is like a dream to me. I probably (surely) romanticize my time there (I was single in my twenties, after all; what's not to like?) but I think you live in such a neat place, all the lame jokes aside. Enjoy!

I figured out a title: This post is more about race than it is about politics

For me, one of the favorable things about Barack Obama is that he's black. Half black, but black nonetheless. I've heard a lot of hullabaloo -- especially in the media -- that we really ought not let race play a factor in this election. Geraldine Ferraro was lambasted for suggesting that Obama's race was to his advantage in beating Clinton. But I agreed with her, as far as I understood her comments correctly. His ethnicity makes me more inclined to vote for him. If we don't elect a black president this year, it will be a very, very long time before we ever elect a black president. Or a Chinese-American president, or a Jewish president, or a Mormon president and I could go on. The black cultural things about Obama make some people very nervous: his African-American church, for example, or the racially-charged thesis that his wife supposedly wrote at Princeton, or was it Yale? 1 There are way too many people, of all political parties, in this country who harbor biases t
