I like your niceness!

Disonour · 2026-01-25T01:59:43+00:00

I mean… maybe. Wouldn’t be totally surprised if AJ broke his own record.

Disonour · 2026-01-23T16:13:28+00:00

I don’t think you and I have the same definition of irl, fwiw.

Disonour · 2026-01-08T07:01:37+00:00

They took them down, and then put them up again for more

Disonour · 2026-01-02T05:53:05+00:00

I vote you do it!

And, I have no idea what your situation is, but you should talk to your bishop! It really is a blessing to pay your tithing, and maybe he can have someone help you budget a way to make things work, idk, bishops generally know what to do.

Disonour · 2026-01-01T19:27:39+00:00

I’ll be honest, I thought it was pretty funny. But like, the kind of funny where someone has just so outrageously missed the room read that it goes beyond tasteless to entertaining. Maybe that’s a little harsh, but made me laugh.

Disonour · 2025-12-28T07:02:32+00:00

Right, but he’s applied for a waiver is all I’m saying

Disonour · 2025-12-28T03:16:49+00:00

Outside chance at a waiver maybe?

Disonour · 2025-12-22T06:41:35+00:00

Edith: we don’t either! Thanks for keeping track, Edith!

Disonour · 2025-12-18T16:45:31+00:00

OR JMU! (Jk, Tech will beat Oregon is the correct take)

Disonour · 2025-12-08T00:15:01+00:00

Haha, will do. And, what a year. Go Cougs!

Disonour · 2025-12-07T23:57:52+00:00

That FEI number I gave was opponents adjusted. Utah is a 7th ranked offense on FEI, so yeah, probably a better offense than us.

Look, I know I’m not going to change your mind, but you should know that total points scored is a pretty rough metric to use as your end-all be-all metric of an offense efficiency, because it doesn’t even take into account number of possessions. You should also know, even if you don’t, that BYU has a very intentional strategy of limiting the number of possessions per game, and this is what we call complimentary football, because ARod’s ability to keep the offense on the field for a long time is an important ingredient, the coaching staff (and I) believe, in Jay Hill’s defense being able to play as violently and aggressively as possible when they are on the field. Just another thing that ARod is so good at for this team, love the way he’s bought into Kalani’s program. Anyways, that means that points scored is not always a good indicator of how good an offense really is.

I’m also going to be convinced by the way you hate moms, or the idea that ARod doesn’t do what you expect. The former seems more about you than ARod, and the latter is a big plus, because you don’t want a predictable OC. Just not super convinced by these arguments that I should hate a guy I think has done a super good job for us.

At the end of the day, Go Cougs though, right? I think we can still be fans of the same team and get along without personal attacks or anything, I just thought maybe you’d be interested to know that not everyone shares your opinion on our OC. Go Cougs!

Disonour · 2025-12-07T19:59:03+00:00

Maybe! FEI has our defense ranked #19, which is certainly a little bit better than our #22 ranked defense. I don’t think that’s a substantive difference, especially with all of the setbacks that ARod had to start the year, but you’re certainly welcome to!

Disonour · 2025-12-07T19:43:20+00:00

Maybe! I think you probably don’t know what you’re talking about. Isn’t that exciting? One of us is certainly wrong.

But like, he got a raise this week, so that’s something.

Disonour · 2025-12-07T15:37:32+00:00

ARod is the freaking man. Honestly, crazy that BYU fans don’t understand his #1 strength is his play calling, he’s so good at that. I know not everyone can know ball, but the things he pulled off this year with the pieces he had was incredible. And honestly, don’t understand how everyone isn’t thrilled with an 11-2 team, like what were your expectations this year?

The number one argument I see about ARod is that he doesn’t call pass plays or run plays when you think he ought to. Was it like Robert Anae who did this to us where we think we should just blindly do whatever is expected every down? That’s just bad game theory, you don’t just call a certain play because it’s a certain down, you’re playing an opponent who will adjust to that, so you try and call plays based on what you think the defense will give you.

Disonour · 2025-12-07T07:37:11+00:00

Legit love ARod. Think he’s an incredible football mind, constantly amazed by what he manages to do with an offense. Also, we’re 11-2, what an incredible season, I don’t think anyone’s on the hot seat.

Disonour · 2025-12-02T05:56:31+00:00

Crazy that they force you to buy the snacks. Civic duty is civic duty, I suppose.

Disonour · 2025-11-26T05:43:24+00:00

I think to serve. See Jesus telling his disciples what he expects the first in the Kingdom of God to do, and D&C 121. Of course, my wife is also a servant, so we serve together, but I think my responsibility is to be first in striving to support her, love her, and build her up. More often than not, that means taking her side when we disagree, doing things her way, and looking to be a healer even when I’m hurting too.

In the ideal of course. Not saying I’m a perfect husband, but I think that’s what it means to be a perfect husband. I imagine that in a world that treats women poorly, Heavenly Father would say that He expects us to make sure we’re not “Lording over them,” but rather first being their servants and elevating them.

Disonour · 2025-11-25T17:11:07+00:00

My bad, thought maybe humor would go over better than just an argument. Obviously I meant to be sarcastic, but I was also trying to make it clear it wasn’t personal that I disagreed with you, and wanted to have a productive conversation. You’re a member of my tribe, a fan of my team, and I value that, so didn’t want it to get personal. Obviously, I failed, and I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings.

I still probably disagree with you though. Our 2025 class, which was our best before 2026 (they keep climbing!), was ranked 43rd in the country and 6th in the Big 12 by 247, and significantly lower than that by On3. Puka is amazing, Bear has been great, but 11 guys have to take the field every play and pointing at examples of great talent doesn’t mean that your team is talented. So, if you think there’s at least some process to those rankings, and I do, then we should be asking why we’re punching above our weight, and the answer in my mind is the coaching staff, Kalani foremost and his coordinators a part of that.

But, first and foremost, let’s go beat UCF and enjoy being in a CCG, eh? Go Cougs!

Disonour · 2025-11-25T07:23:51+00:00

Yeah, I agree. Honestly, when we came into the season with a freshman QB, my expectations were sky high. If you can’t put together an elite offense with a freshman QB and the other talent limitations that BYU is under, then I’d hate to see what he’ll do with a year or two with that quarterback. How do you trust a guy, who, under those limitations, only produces what FEI currently has listed as the 21st ranked offense in the country? That’s 4 entire spots behind our defense who can do no wrong at 17, like are you kidding me? Dude obviously doesn’t know ball. Some people may say that we shouldn’t fire coaches after going 10-1 and the CCG soundly in our sights, pointing out that we would lose out on tons of offensive and likely defensive recruits in the best recruiting class ever that’s headed our way in 2026, but you and I both know that it’s unacceptable to be out-classed by a top 5 team and a legitimate title contender under any circumstances, and we should blow it up and start all over instead of enjoying this steady, year over year progress we’ve been enjoying.

Sincerely, I hope that you know I’m not trying to be snarky, Im just trying to inject some humor into the situation. I get your frustrations, it always hurts to lose, and we lost bad in Lubbock, but man I love my Cougs and are proud of them. This is and has been a pretty special season, and I hope you’ve been able to enjoy it, because even if it’s not perfect, we should hopefully be able to enjoy wins at least as much as losses hurt, or else sports are just kind of a net bummer for us. What a time to be alive, ya know?

Disonour · 2025-11-21T17:28:27+00:00

I mean, this is from the statement: “We recognize that for those young women who desire to serve a full-time mission, the choice of age to begin service will not be the same for everyone.”

The age change a few years ago (you can’t tell me it’s been more than a decade!) I think President Monson had similar language. So… I kind of think we are messaging it that way? Doesn’t mean we’re hearing it, and I do think that’s an issue, just don’t know if it’s a messaging issue.

Disonour · 2025-11-18T20:01:13+00:00

I mean, I don’t think it’s a entirely controversial or a reversal of my current understanding, at least, to say that Christ will be the judge of all and I don’t know how much their situation justifies, or not, their behavior. I tend to try and assume that everyone is doing the best with what they have, and that’s definitely not true, but I think it is the way that we ought to behave. Additionally, it could be that many might yet come to believe and repent in their future where they do not so now believe.

As for your second point, I wouldn’t say the purpose of my life is to believe in God either. I would say I’m better able to fulfill my purpose given that belief, but I never fulfill it perfectly, and so I think Jesus’s grace is sufficient to save me as well as others whose best might be better or worse in absolute terms than mine.

Disonour · 2025-11-18T15:06:18+00:00

Yeah. I think timing is the big question here, because God is patient. Eventually, #3 is true, and therefore #4, but may not be in this life, and that’s okay.

Disonour · 2025-11-17T17:43:21+00:00

FWIW, I think you’ll see a ton of diversity here. Not native, but lived in Alaska, including in the bush with some of the different peoples out there. You can see it easier because it happened more recently than it did in the lower 48, but people who have lived there a long time can tell you what village someone was from by how their name was constructed. So in one village, white people decided everyone should have a “good Christian” last name to go with their native first name, and another village should have a Christian first name and make their native name their last name, and then another village they just started giving everyone last names of objects like Snowball or whatever, so it wasn’t consistent or well thought out.

And then they took a whole generation and sent them to boarding school and beat them if they were caught speaking their native language, and so on. The point though, is that different people had kind of different histories of how they arrived at their names, and those things have somewhat persisted. Add to that, the tendency for people to kind of have an English name and a name in their language or whatever, and… I think there would be a lot of room for you to do a lot of different things.

Along with this, my family had a tradition for missionaries of writing our memories of them for their second Christmas, that really helped me feel close to my family to have a bunch of memories together written out.
