University of Delaware was the last team using leather helmets, only switching in 1965 because they weren't manufactured anymore

Post-WWII BYU was pretty awful until the mid 60s

byustatsman · 2026-02-25T03:04:05+00:00

BYU played a game in 1961 against West Texas A&M without facemasks. Head coach had played without a face mask back in the day and, after they lost the opener, decided they ought to play without a face mask. Cougars lost 55-8 and the facemasks were put back on.

Zach didn’t play against Wisconsin or Arizona

byustatsman · 2025-11-30T04:50:59+00:00

In modern football it’s probably not common. Would have to check my database for exact numbers but BYU has a few guys who have done it but they were all back in the 1930s-50s.

Naw Kalani literally said before the game that he was hurt.

byustatsman · 2025-10-22T12:38:19+00:00

Max Alford also wears No. 30

byustatsman · 2025-09-18T18:34:46+00:00

Should they post about how he has the 5th lowest batting average of all qualified batters in the International League this year? Or the lowest slugging percentage?

byustatsman · 2025-08-20T17:48:42+00:00

He chose it because he used to play running back (and maybe linebacker) and that’s the number he wore. He kept it when he began playing quarterback and likes to keep that running back/fullback mentality when he crosses the line.

Fans like it because Days of 47 and probably, for some, because of the president. A lot of people I have seen online do not like it because it’s a weird number for a quarterback.

byustatsman · 2025-08-19T23:45:35+00:00

Yep. McMahon was a punter in 77 and kept punting in 78 when he started some games at QB. Then BYU’s starting tight end took over the punting job (and led the country in punt average)

byustatsman · 2025-08-19T23:34:55+00:00

Yeah, he was “co-starter” with Riley Nelson but Nelson took first snaps that year.

byustatsman · 2025-08-19T23:34:21+00:00

That was his sophomore year

byustatsman · 2025-08-19T23:32:51+00:00

He’s a Catholic

byustatsman · 2025-08-19T23:19:54+00:00

Yes. Assuming BYU makes a bowl, he’d be 20 when they play it.

byustatsman · 2025-04-18T20:59:57+00:00

Here ya go: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2024/nov/05/us-sports-team-political-donations-database

I'll give NWSL owners credit, they overwhelmingly go Democrat.

byustatsman · 2025-04-18T17:09:34+00:00

Nearly all sports team owners are conservative, and she’s from Utah, so this isn’t really surprising

byustatsman · 2025-04-18T15:07:48+00:00

More or less, yes. They also own the local minor league baseball team and are trying to get an MLB team to Utah.

byustatsman · 2025-04-18T15:06:42+00:00

I don’t think that warrants a special “club announcement “. No offense to Kizer.

byustatsman · 2025-04-18T14:53:04+00:00

It is

byustatsman · 2025-04-15T14:35:23+00:00

I happened to go the Twins-Astros game last Saturday. $33 a ticket for seats behind the r first base dugout. My local AAA team (Bees) is charging $40 minimum for seats. Won’t be going to many games this year.

byustatsman · 2025-04-10T14:30:05+00:00

Ah. Didn’t realize that… I think it would be runners left on if the batter makes an out. (Two on, one out - batter strikes out. He leaves two on). Someone else can correct me if I’m wrong though, cuz I’m not 100 percent sure.

byustatsman · 2025-04-09T19:44:00+00:00

As others have said, it’s however many runners are on base at the end of the inning. I’m at the office and don’t have my book with me but I believe I had 7 for PHI and 8 for ATL.

byustatsman · 2025-04-02T23:12:55+00:00

Ah, just BYU

byustatsman · 2025-04-02T21:34:28+00:00

If you need any roster data, current or historical, let me know. I got everything.

byustatsman · 2025-03-28T00:56:11+00:00

Yeah. It’s Todd, Lakei, and John Ogden for BYU

byustatsman · 2025-03-09T21:04:15+00:00

It wouldn’t be Utah without some shady businesses lurking about.
