Guys, I don't really think it's worth squabbling over a couple inches....no one will think any less of you.

Back to Isaac though, does anyone know his wingspan? Looks pretty impressive in that photo.
I heard his wingspan went from 6'10" to 6'8"

Even the most loyal fans are considering replacing USU football with carnival games and roller coaster rides due to its poor performance. Will you also be dressing up as clowns to welcome fans into the stadium? 😄
Nah, BYU and Utah fans have that covered. We want something unique.

I'd prefer the name to be something unique, like the Seattle Kraken. I know most don't care, but outlaws and Mammoth are both lacrosse teams in Colorado. Blizzard feels like a copy of avalanche. I don't know of any sports teams called Yeti, but that doesn't feel unique to Utah. Hockey Club is very g...

Just keep them as the coyotes. Kind of like the sound of the Utah Yotes. They can't. Several articles have more detailed explanations, but the idea is that the Arizona owner is retaining rights to the name and they will be an expansion team if they can find a home in Arizona within the next 5 years.

Just watched the condensed game. If we get the same refs, it's going to be hard to get him into foul trouble. They let a LOT of physical play go without a call. No complaints, just an observation that it shouldn't be our primary/only strategy.
