Re: Abu Wilson

Abu was a beast. I loved watching him run after he recovered from his knee injury. If Abu doesn't blow out his knee just before the '93 season, we would have won ten games that year - flipping last second losses into wins against Utah, Baylor and UNR because we could have controlled the ball; ended...

Re: Question for those out of state

In the Bay Area, there was a consistent contingent of BYU fans. Stanford had fans, but the bandwagon effect was incredibly strong.

Hell if they can build a bullet train from LA to Las Vegas, they can get Front Runner over Sardine Canyon. But yea, I too think it's cost prohibitive.

Re: Will the Olympics finally get us a Provo to Logan Front Runner extetion?

No. My understanding is that the Front Runner will almost certainly never make it to Cache Valley because Sardine is too steep for rail lines. They would have to run it through Valley View, which, aside from being prohibitively expensive, would most likely mean no one would use it because it would b...
