BYU fans, if you need a "pick me up", just read about how well former Cougars in the NFL played today. Great stuff from Fred Warner, Puka Nacua, Khyiris Tonga, Kyle Van Noy, Zayne Anderson, Ryan Rehkow, and more! You're welcome... lawlessrepublic.com/byu-play…

Former BYU star DT Khyiris Tonga (No. 92) bulldozes his way into the backfield for a nice tackle for loss for the Chiefs. He’s so good.

I didn’t watch GameDay today, but Pat McAfee legit ended the show at Utah telling Ute fans: “I’ll never see you again, hopefully.” Wow.

As a BYU fan, I always root against Kyle Willingham's Michigan team. It has zero to do with emotion or "hate". It's just logic. Given the ties of UM's coaches to Utah, the less desirable Michigan is to top recruits, the more likely Utah studs will choose BYU. Justifiable?

Inject this “Air Bear” autographed Bear Bachmeier numbered to five into my veins, please.

A lot of people are predicting No. 2 BYU will lose at UCF. And the Cougars will lose if they don’t fix these three self-inflicted problems. My official prediction for Saturday here… lawlessrepublic.com/predicti…

The Big 12 will continue narrowing the gap with the SEC and Big Ten. BYU and Texas Tech will become the B12’s version of Georgia/Texas and Ohio State/Indiana. With two “top tier” programs, the Big 12 joins a new Power Three.

As a Big 12 fan, AMEN! Let the SEC and Big Ten feel some CFP pain. Help them understand what it what BYU experienced last year going 11-1 with their only loss to a Top 10 Texas Tech team and being told, “You now need to win the conference championship to make the CFP.”

As a BYU fan, this is my love letter to the Big 12 conference. The Big 12 joyfully elevated BYU, and now BYU is joyfully elevating the Big 12... @LOBig12 @Heartland_CS lawlessrepublic.com/big-12-j…

Man, that neon puke green Monster logo on Big 12 basketball courts is hideous. Make it white? Okay. But neon green is awful for viewers. It’s distracting. It’s loud. It’s “in your face”. Not what I want when watching college hoops. Brett Yormark fumbled this one bad.

I have nothing but respect for UCF, but I don’t get why BYU is on upset alert. UCF is good, no doubt, but the Cougs have been great for three years now. CBS Sports’ Tom Fornelli is on the upset bandwagon…

Here are the three explosive stats that led to BYU's historic win over Notre Dame. The firecracker stat (a little explosive), the hand grenade (explosive), and the atomic bomb (massively explosive stat). These three stats popped the most... lawlessrepublic.com/these-th…

BYU fam, it’s time for Too Optimistic Tuesday! BYU didn’t just beat Notre Dame, they claimed the mantle as an elite national powerhouse… lawlessrepublic.com/too-opti…

This is beautiful. Kansas hoops coach Bill Self called BYU a “sleeping giant” when it received its Big 12 invite. The giant has awakened.

BYU fans, as we continue to revel in the victory over Notre Dame, just remember the perceived “talent gaps” the Cougs overcame. ND has nine 5-star and 59 4-star guys. Guess how many BYU has…. lawlessrepublic.com/talent-g…

Love this from CBS Sports. "The Cougars officially clinched their spot among the national elite."

In beating Notre Dame, BYU didn't just win a game in isolation. They claimed the mantle of go-forward national championship contender. This win changes everything for the No. 2 Cougs!

BYU fam, let's give credit to Brian Santiago for getting the Notre Dame game on the schedule, and getting it in Provo. There are only a handful of teams that could elevate BYU's profile -- and the Big 12's -- like this, and ND is one of them. College GameDay. Marquee win!

There was :04 left on the final play of the BYU - Notre Dame game. The final play took more than four seconds. Clock don’t lie. Video don’t lie. Cougs win!
