| This is my BYU Sports blog, for now. The reason this blog has been starting and stopping so much is because the Herald design boys have been promising me for more than a year that I would get a better blog system and one BYU fans could actually find on our website. Every time I wait, I get nothing. So I decided I would just lead people here until the geniuses in design figure out what they're doing. It's been interesting to see what the other papers have been writing about BYU this summer. My own personal opinion on BYU football is that summer is a time to rest up for the long fall and winter ahead. I mean, nothing is going on, really, other than weight lifting, running and coach-less passing drills. I guess I could write fluffy feature stories on what a player thinks will happen in 2008, but I'm looking forward to writing those kinds of stories when fall camp starts in August, when the players are officially on the practice field. BYU is getting all kinds of love from pre-season publications and the MWC Football Meetings in Las Vegas next week will be no different. It would be a complete shock if BYU isn't picked to win the conference. I'll be sure to include the obligatory quote in my story from Bronco saying it doesn't mean anything. Actually, it does mean something. Pre-season rankings give you a jumping off point when it comes to moving up in the rankings during the season. With BYU ranked in almost everybody's top 15, that's an excellent place to start. A couple of comments before I go: I can't wait to see Justin Sorensen kick during practice. The Bingham phenom could make a huge difference this year with deep kickoffs and Mitch Payne better be paying attention or he'll lose his job. And the position battle I'm most looking forward to this fall is at cornerback. Brandon Howard and Scott Johnson won the starting roles during spring but G Pitman and Brandon Bradley are closing fast. (The title of this blog entry is a reference to the original "Star Wars," a line spoken by Han Solo to Chewbacca. The actual line is, "Laugh it up, fuzzball!") | ||
