|@jbecktwelve on the Denver Broncos drafting Bo Nix 12th overall after completing their recent trade for Zach Wilson. "This is just my opinion, I don't think that Bo Nix was selected to start right away. From my understanding Sean Payton was high on him, he thought maybe they…

Oklahoma just told Joe Biden to take his rewrite of Title IX and shove it. “We will not allow boys in girls restrooms. We will not put boys in girls sports.” Every state that cares about girls needs to likewise not comply with Biden’s perverse Title IX.

Incredible tornado intercept just now north of Lincoln Nebraska!! @ryanhallyall @SevereStudios
In the “new normal,” sometimes the best recruiting is of the guys already playing for you. With Richie Saunders & Dallin Hall staying, this a huge start for new @BYUMBB coach, Kevin Young. Sets a tone for Cougars!
Honestly thought Richie was gone. But when he didn't commit right away to Pope and Kentucky, I thought there was a chance. Richie is a thoughtful dude. I really think his relationship with BYU is a special one and he wanted to live up to his commitment. Good for him.
