If this is peak BYU, sign me up! For what it’s worth, this wasn’t the Sr. Walk. It was just a dad giving his son a core memory. Instead of stereotyping an institution, it may do our world some good to highlight the humanity in sports. He’s an incredible dad & the best teammate!

Hearing a lot of skepticism about taking a knee on the 1 yard line. Believe what you want, but it was the right thing to do. “7 more points” and “giving the backups a TD” is insignificant compared to the lesson of having class.... Which the world could use more of. #GoCougs 🤙🏽

Cougar Nation,
If you have not gotten tickets to this weeks game, lock it up! If you have tickets, don’t say a word from now until game day. Save your voices & let’s make this loudest atmosphere LaVell Edwards Stadium has ever seen! Can’t wait to see everyone there! #GoCougs 🤙🏽

Following a thrilling game, to hear the heartbreaking news of our beloved President Nelson, to the tragic news of the senseless violence in Michigan, I’m reminded of how precious life is. We all need more Jesus. My heart & prayers are with all those mourning in any capacity

Someone clearly had a plan to damage Zach’s reputation. But as you look around, everyone & their dog is coming to his defense, which only increases his stock & displays his true character. So whoever that random troll is that started this 🔥, your plan has backfired. Good job 👏🏽
Harsh quote from an NFC Director on BYU QB Zach Wilson in this article on Walter Football:
“(Wilson) has character concerns, rich kid who is an entitled brat - uncle owns Jet Blue, parents are a pain, not a leader, selfish, and he's a know-it-all.” walterfootball.com/nflhotpre…

Absolutely disagree. Come hang around the @BYUfootball program for a bit and you’d be shocked. Your sentiment is accurate at many places, but the culture here trashes that narrative. It always starts from the top. #GoCougs 🤙🏽

@ the airport & right in front of me a man in a Bernie shirt & a man in a Trump shirt pass each other & flip each other off. They both stopped & had a stare down. I stepped in & said, “Isn’t America the greatest country on earth?” They walked away. I feel like I saved the world.

I thank God every day that I have my sisters in my life. On Wednesday, I lost one of them. There’s a big hole in my heart that I know will be filled with time. It brings me peace to know she is reunited with my sweet mother. I believe with all my heart that I’ll see them again 🙏🏽

Seeing the things my timeline is flooded with, I’m reminded:
“Maturity doesn’t mean AGE. It means sensitivity, manners & how you react.”

I had no plans to be a coach when I got married in the fall of ‘08. Since then, it’s been 16 straight years where we don’t get to fully celebrate that anniversary.
But, we are ok with that because we have all we need & more! Happy anniversary @HSitake! I love you!

Grateful to work for a man who has such a pure heart. The transparency of Kalani is what makes him special.

Going thru tsa @ the airport & a lady rushes frantically through the lines, asking everyone if they’re in a rush. She cuts everyone & sprints to her gate. Shoes untied, hair all over & I was genuinely hoping the best for her. I had 40 mins to spare.

One of the toughest dudes I’ve ever seen on a football field. I’m so glad he trusted in God and himself and made the decision to come here. BYU is a better place because of Sione Moa!
Facing a decision between walking on at BYU or taking a scholarship elsewhere, Sione Moa put his faith in God to show him the way. Once he got his answer, Sione's hard work and determination paved the way to success.
