BYU basketball: Cougars get revenge in rout of Loyola Marymount
MR says: The Cougars beat Loyola in a 72-51 blowout.

"Defense," point...

Sacramento Bee writer says Jimmer Fredette should be Kings starter

Lance Reynolds retirement ends link to long history of BYU football
MR says: Good luck to Reynolds in his future endeavors. Lance Reynolds was kind of a Santa Claus figure for three decades of BYU football players. Kind, gentlemanly, and full of good cheer, he bridged time for Cougar football. He was a link to the Doug Scovil days of LaVell Edwards when it all began....

Kyle Van Noy becomes the latest superstar to join BYU's club of legends (+video)
MR says: Congratulations to BYU on their victory last night!

Opinion: BYU has a lot to lose in Poinsettia Bowl
In one of the most entertaining, dramatic and meaningful BYU football games I’ve ever witnessed, the Cougars won by tying San Diego State. In Thursday’s Poinsettia Bowl against the Aztecs, BYU can only lose. That’s just a slight exaggeration. The Cougars would benefit by beating SDSU at...
