Sorry for my prolonged absence in writing. I am sure you have all been anxiously awaiting my next post...
A lot has happened since my last post: Dave Rice left BYU to pursue the head coaching gig at UNLV, reserve C James Anderson has left the basketball program due to graduation, and BYU played its spring football game.
I wish Dave Rice luck. He was a great guy, a phenomenal coach, and a steady hand for the BYU hoops program over the past 6 years. BYU fans will miss him (and his up-tempo offense and recruiting skills). UNLV fans will love both. Maybe he will restore some sanity to the "rivalry" (although I don't anticipate we'll see too many matchups between the two squads in the coming years).
James Anderson made some good plays in his time at BYU. He was certainly not a good player, but, especially at the end of the season, he was another tall body that was much needed. Hopefully next season, the less-experienced but more-coordinated players that will fill his void will not prove to be too green.
As always, there is plenty to come on football. I will look at BYU's 2011 opponents as well as BYU's 2011 roster. I hope to attend at least one of the BYU road games, currently targeting the TCU game in Dallas, but haven't ruled out Labor Day Weekend in Oxford, Mississippi or the following week at Austin, Texas. When did BYU ever have a road schedule like the one they have this year: Ole Miss, Texas, Oregon State, TCU, Hawaii. Good riddance, MWC!
