Cougar Sportsline, Vol. 33, Issue 35
by hb arnett 25 Mar '13

25 Mar '13

HB Arnetts 801 372 - 0819 hbarnett(a)fiber.net 1391 West 800 South Orem, Utah 84058 Vol. 33, Issue 35 March 25, 2013 Click Here <http://cougarclicks.com/product/Order-Cougar-Sportsline?ID=3173> To Order Or Renew Your Subscriptions BYUs Top Ten Most Wanted List I watched a piece yesterday on television (Dateline) in which they detailed the story of an ex-LDS missionary that is now on the FBIs Ten Most Wanted List. (Click <http://www.azcentral.com/community/ahwatukee/articles/20130322ahwatukee-dea dly-robbery-featured-tv-show-abrk.html?nclick_check=1> Here for a quick synopsis of the wanted fugitive) That got me thinking. Is there a BYU athletics Ten Most Wanted List? In my mind and opinion, there should be. Here it is: 1. QuarterbackBYU is only as good in football as its starting quarterback. It has always been that way and always will be. The man hunt looks likely to be over this fall. Taysom Hill should remove a good BYU quarterback from the most wanted list. 2. Point GuardThis has been scintillating saga this season in the manhunt for a point guard. When Matt Carlinos game is on, he is fantastic and allows BYU and Dave Rose to capture some basketball magic like the Cougars did in the second half last week against Washington. When he is off. BYU is very, very ordinary. If Rose can find a way to capture and lock down the magic Carlino BYU basketball can take point guard off the Top Ten Most Wanted list. With Carlinos two year history of either being on fire or on the Lam, it is no surprise that Rose is saying that Kyle Collinsworth will see plenty of time next season at the point. 3. Tight EndDennis Pitta was captured by the Baltimore Ravens three years ago in the NFL draft. After being offered a second round tender by the NFL club a few weeks ago, Pitta is now guaranteed to get away with the loot. The tender will give Pitta $2 million plus in salary next season. If another team wants to offer more to the restricted free agent, Baltimore can always match. Since Pitta got away from the program three seasons ago, BYU offensive coaches have searched high and low for a replacement. Each fall and spring there are plenty of tips and touts about finding the next good tight end, but none of those tips have panned out. As the FBI guys like to say when in pursuit of a fugitive, maybe this will be the year and season for the Cougars. 4. Quality Left-Handed PitcherI like what I see from new BYU baseball coach Mike Littlewood in the early going of this season. Unfortunately, good pitching, especially from the left side of the mound is still laying low in Belize and not playing baseball for BYU. This club has a quality pitcher in Desmond Poulson, but is still three arms short from being a pretty good baseball team. We will have to give Littlewood a few more recruiting seasons to see if he can remove decent pitching from the BYU most wanted list. 5. JimmerHe isnt coming back. But the BYU legend is off the most wanted list since being placed in the Witness Protection program in Sacramento. There have been occasional sightings of Jimmer doing his thing in the NBA, but mostly he stays three doors down the bench from the Keith Smart and the Sacramento Kings dog house. There is a glimmer of hope, however. A Jimmer replacement may be on the horizon a few years down the road in Nick Emery. He will bypass the Witness Protection program and enter the two-year Witness Bearing program for the LDS Church. He leaves for Frankfurt, Germany in May. 6. PGA Tour WinnerMike Weir was the last BYU alum to win a PGA Tour event. That was a few years back. The Canadian has 8 tour wins on his resume. BYU used to make a living producing golfers who could make a living playing the sport, but that seems like a few decades ago. As Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel used to singWhere have you gone Joe DiMaggio, Johnny Miller, Mike Reid and Mike Weir? 7. Polynesian PipelineThe top quality LDS Polynesian high school football players seem to be extremely hard to track down these last few years by the BYU football program. It is worth noting that Bronco Mendenhall has now assigned more detectives and recruiters to locating these football fugitives. The Cougar staff now has 3 ½ assistant Polynesian coaches that will be joining the recruiting man hunt. That would be Robert Anae, Mark Atuaia, Steve Kaufusi and Guy Holliday. The new BYU receiver coach is half Samoan. 8. KickerBYU has always had kickers in custody and on the roster, but they seem to be kicking without removing their leg irons. If you are going to play a big boy schedule, you have to have a big boy kicker. 9. League Affiliation for FootballFor many Cougar fans this should be at the top of the Most Wanted List. Thanks to ESPN, BYU football is surviving nicely at the moment, but eventually it is going to be a case of the haves and the have nots. The haves will have super conference affiliations. BYU will need to find a way to crash that party or be very, very creative as an independent. The Big Boys of college football own the bank and they are closing the doors soon and wont be opening any new accounts. 10. Fill in the blanksYou get to choose the final most wanted spot. Here are some suggestions. A media and public relations coach for the football staff; BYU Rugby and Mens Soccer as sanctioned sports at BYU; A home and home in football with Ohio State; Continued good health for Dave Rose; Continued recovery and good health for Taysom Hill; A BYU star in womens sports other than soccer; An I Phone app that allows big time BYU football boosters in the stands to call plays. There is already an app that allows some of the biggest boosters to call the shots. Mercer on Tap Tonight NIT AND WNIT PROVIDING NICE PHOTOS IN PROVO The BYU mens and womens basketball programs are having some nice success and getting good snapshots of their NIT and WNIT tournament participation in Provo. Like most pictures, however, nobody but family are really interested in seeing those photos. Ditto for the NIT and WNIT. On the national radar nobody outside of the fan bases of those teams still playing in the two tournaments are interested. If you are reading this letter, you should be interested because both BYU teams are still playing in those tournaments. Here are a few snapshots for your perusal. BYU photo shopped Washington right out of the NIT picture last Tuesday with a 90-79 opening round win over the Huskies. Tyler Haws led the way for the Cougars with a spectacular 37-point scoring spree. Despite Haws production, the game was never really in focus or finished until Matt Carlino came to the party in the second half of action. The sophomore guard sealed the deal with 18 second half points for the Cougars. BYU now faces Mercer tonight in Provo. The Bears are out of Macon, Georgia. The winner advances to the quarterfinals of tournament play. Click <http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/ncaa-tournament/brackets/viewabl e_nit> here to see the current NIT brackets. A win today and BYU will either be hosting another game in Provo on Wednesday against Louisiana Tech or traveling to Hattiesburg to take on Southern Miss. La Tech and USM play tonight in Mississippi. Southern Miss is the No. 1 seed in BYUs bracket. Louisiana Tech was the No. 5 seed and BYU the No. 3 seed in the bracket. The team with the highest seed gets to host the games. Mercer won the regular season title in the Atlantic Sun Conference. That is the same league that produced Florida Gulf Coast, the current NCAA Cinderella. The two teams split the home and home series during the regular season, but it was FGCU that won the post season league tournament and earned the NCAA bid. Mercer also beat Florida State in Tallahassee early in the season. You may remember FSU as the team that handled BYU easily in Brooklyn in the Coaches against Cancer Tournament. Mercer is currently 24-11 on the year and is coming off a 75-67 win over Tennessee in Knoxville. The Bears were led by Travis Smith against the Volunteers. He had 25 points in the win. The game tips off at 7 pm Mountain Time and will be televised live on ESPNEWS. On the Womens side in the WNIT, BYU came away with a very nice 69-58 win over San Diego State last Saturday in Provo. The Lady Cougars will now face WCC foe St. Marys in Provo on Wednesday. Tipoff and TV coverage is pending and dependent on what the BYU men do tonight. The pending status is also waiting to see if BYU men will be hosting another game in the Marriott Center on Wednesday. If that happens, it will be a NIT and WNIT doubleheader. For WNIT brackets and other information, click here <http://www.womensnit.com/> . IS BYU VOLLEYBALL CHUGGING TOWARDS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP? Based on what the BYU mens volleyball team did this past weekend on a California road trip, the logical answer is yes, a national championship is front and center on the horizon. There is a lot of volleyball left to be played by the No. 1 ranked Cougars, but the ease with which BYU handled Long Beach State on the road Saturday night seems to indicate this might be the elusive year for the Cougars. The 49ers were the No. 4 ranked team in the nation and beat BYU in 5 sets in Provo a few weeks back. This time it was BYU getting revenge and a 3-set win (25-22, 25-13, 25-15) over LBSU. The game actually was not much of a contest for the Cougars. The best description and video of the match can be found here <http://www.gazettes.com/sports/lbsu/lbsu-men-s-volleyball-swept-by-byu/arti cle_4e89bd58-9449-11e2-a16e-0019bb2963f4.html> . Be sure and check out the video. The Cougars also swept Cal State Northridge on Friday night in a three game sweep. BYU is currently 17-3 overall and 16-2 in MPSF play. BYU 2, KU 1, Snow 1 BASEBALL TAKES TWO OF FOUR FROM KANSAS BYU improved to 11-12 on the season by taking two of three games from Kansas last week. The series was set for a four-game series, but Fridays contest was cancelled due to snow. BYU won the opener with a 3-0 shutout of the Jayhawks behind a very strong pitching performance from Cougar junior right hander Desmond Paulson. The Cougars closed the series on Saturday with a 6-3 win. Between the bookend victories, Kansas walloped the Cougars 14-6 on Thursday and Fridays game was lost to snow. PUBLIC PEEK AT SPRING FOOTBALL ON SATURDAY BYU and Bronco Mendenhall will give Cougar Nation a chance to get their early only peek and perusal of this falls football team this Saturday at 11 am in LaVell Edwards Stadium. The weather is forecast to be mild and so will the controlled scrimmage. Since Mendenhall took over as head coach, here are the parameters for spring football scrimmages open to the public: If a player is good, he wont play. If he is good and is allowed to play, he wont be allowed to hit or be hit. That makes for a poor spring game, but it does make for a healthy squad in the fall. Regardless of the diluted format for this scrimmage, it is still football and the players are wearing BYU uniforms. What we will see are second and third unit players scrimmaging against each other. It doesnt do much for handicapping the upcoming season, but it always whets the appetite for the real thing in the fall.

Last Day, Last Hurrah, Last Chance, Last Rodeo, Last Minute...Get the Picture?

This is it. Today is the last day to take advantage of this phenomenal offer. It expires at midnight tonight. SPECIAL DEAL MEANS MORE ISSUES FOR YOU! With April 1st just a few days away, I'm reminded that a fool and his money are soon parted. That's good for you because I'm the biggest fool of all when it comes to BYU football and basketball as you can see by my latest offer below. Order, extend or renew a one year subscription to Cougar Sportsline for the regular price of $35 and for every game BYU wins in football and basketball next season, I will add an additional free bonus issue to your subscription. For example, if BYU goes 10-2 in football and 25-8 in basketball next season, your $35 order will not only buy you a full year of Cougar Sportsline, but another full year with 35 free issues added to your subscription. The more games BYU football and basketball win the more free issues you get added to your account. I don't want to be too foolish so this offer is limited and not long lasting (just 3 days). It will expire at Saturday, at midnight, March 23, 2013. Hurry because in football, Hill, Williams, Hine, Hoffman and Apo will all back. Also remember what a difference quarterbacks like Johnny Manziel and Robert Griffith III made in just one year with their respective teams. I'm thinking Hill will have the same type of impact at BYU this coming season. And don't forget about basketball. Even with an up and down ordinary season this year, Dave Rose and his Cougars already have 22 wins. Imagine what it will be like next season with Kyle Collinsworth at the point and Matt Carlino at the 2 guard. We got a glimpse of that scenario against Washington in the NIT win. Did I mention that Tyler Haws also returns for next season? And if you really want to hang your Cougar hopes on high expectations for BYU football and basketball for next season, how about this? I will also throw in an extra 5 bonus issues if BYU goes to a BCS bowl game and another 5 issues if BYU wins the WCC in basketball. There's a method to my madness and foolishness, but all you need to know is that you get to be the recipient of my April Fool's deal. But you will have to hurry, because this really is a limited and restricted offer. Click <http://www.cougarclicks.com/product/Order-Cougar-Sportsline?ID=3173> Here to order, renew or renew. This offer expires at midnight, Saturday, March 23, 2013 Thanks, HB Cougar Sportsline hbarnett(a)fiber.net 1391 W 800 S Orem, UT 84058 801 372 0819
