HB Arnetts Lite hbarnett(a)fiber.net <mailto:hbarnett@fiber.net> 801 372 0819 Vol. 37, Issue 3-A July 14, 2018 Cougar Clicks After my 1 ½ year stint as a missionary in Michigan and 7 months of adjusting to the old Arnett ways, its all starting to come back to me. Seems that besides publishing a newsletter, Cougar Sportsline, I used to have hair and liked Bruce Willis movies. Apparently, I also sent out Cougar Clicks. That would be links of anything BYU sports related that I came across on line and wanted to share. So, in the spirit of old movie stars without hair, almost adjusted, and the Arnett Way, I will also begin sending out Cougar Clicks to those who signed on for receiving CS Lite. Both are free. Just click on the names below and read the pertinent articles. All I ask is that you consider buying one of my Putt Partners. See below for details.

HB Arnetts Lite hbarnett(a)fiber.net <mailto:hbarnett@fiber.net> Vol. 37, Issue 3 July 10, 2018 What does the BYU Fan Base have that the Fan Bases of these Schools Dont? Answer: Stickum. See accompanying 1970s Oakland Raider photos of Lester Hayes and his stickum hands. Fred Biletnikoff was also known to have his hands caught in the cookie and stickum jar. When it comes to athletic misconduct at BYU and all other schools sponsoring sports, I call it Teflon vs. Tacky. Teflonwhere nothing ever sticks to the fan bases of all other schools and after maybe an occasional oh, thats too bad comment, athlete misconduct is just considered the cost of doing business at the Power 5 level. Tackyas in sticky, not Sione Taki Taki, the new starting outside linebacker for BYU. Misdeeds by Cougar athletic personnel seems to also cause guilt, embarrassment, shock and shame and sticks to Cougar fans like a Lester Hayes and Fred Biletnikoff post game handshake. I have a daughter that is a Utah graduate. My mother, brother and another daughter are graduates of Arizona. I have a cargo ship of cousins who have graduated and scholastically sailed from Arizona State. I spent 1 ½ years in East Lansing teaching institute to LDS Michigan State students. I can vouch for my relatives and friends with ties to Utah, Arizona, ASU and MSU as fine upstanding people. The difference, in my opinion, with their sports fandom and alumni allegiance to their schools is that athletic misconduct, except for loss of life or felony convictions, doesnt reflect on them and when it does occur at their schools it is just a hiccup that will soon go away. Again, my opinion, at BYU, athletic misconduct is more than a hiccup, it also has hints of hypocrisy as it ties in with the Honor Code and the 13th Article of Faith (You might remember the honest, true, chaste benevolent part I wrote about as it pertains to BYU football a few months back). Again, my opinion, that is why it stings and sticks with the BYU fans base more than other fan bases. What makes headlines with BYU athletic conduct is just happy hour at other universities and soon forgotten by their fans. The media wont let BYU fans forget about the indiscretions of their athletes. Unfortunately, as Cougar fans, we take it personally when one of ours steps out of bounds. Thats because our neighbors and family that are not BYU fans never let us forget the foibles that befall some BYU athletes. The older I get, the less it bothers me. I used to be able to use the scoreboard card with my relatives when it comes to sports. That comeback needs a serious comeback in football and basketball. Lets not be naïve. As long as there is a BYU with an honor code, there are going to be honor code issues and infractions. Those that generate headlines come from the football and basketball programs. We are kidding ourselves if we think that honor code issues dont happen with the other Olympic sports in Provo and in the general student body of the school. Those seldom affect us because nobody ever knows about them. I have a Utah fan and avid supporter who also takes my letter. We have become friends. His take is that there are dumb donkeys (substitute the biblical terminology for donkey) at both schools and in both fan bases. He is right. They only difference is Teflon and Tacky. Whats the Solution? Heres my thinking out of the box suggestion: IUPUI Indiana University Purdue University at Indianapolis. What can the IUPUI Jaguars, members of the Horizon Conference with 16 sponsored sports have to do with BYU and thinking out of the box. Here is what it says on the IUPUI website: Discover IUPUI, a thriving university in downtown Indianapolis offering the best of Indiana University and Purdue University on one centrally located campus. Heres my outside the box proposal: Discover BYUVU, a thriving collaborative football program in Provo-Orem offering the best of Brigham Young University and Utah Valley University. My first thought was calling it BYU Lite, but both BYU and UVU can equally help each other. UVU is the largest public university in the state. They have an enrollment of 37,217. BYUs enrollment is 33,517. UVU has everything it needs except for two things. Parking and a Football team. BYU has everything it needs except for Parking and a Better Football team. The two institutions could help each other. The Wolverines dont have the funding or facilities for a football program. BYU does. BYU has and always will have trouble admitting outstanding athletic prospects who academically cant get in school in Provo or arent proficiency qualified in English to be admitted into BYU. No problem at UVU. When it comes to recruiting football players, it is also still no problem for Utah and Utah State either. Crossover There is a major LDS Church Crossover. Before my stint in Michigan, my wife and I served 3 years in an Orem Young Single Adult Stake. It had BYU and UVU students together. In case you dont know, there are no longer BYU wards and UVU wards, there are just YSA wards based on geographic boundaries. We currently reside in an Orem ward that fits the definition of a Church unit of nearly dead and newlyweds. You will have to guess in which category my wife and I fall. The days of pure bred BYU marriages is over. Ours is a transient ward with young couples coming and going at a rapid rate. These new couples are asked to speak in Church and introduce themselves to the ward. I was flabbergasted at how many BYU-UVU or vice versa marriages there are and continue to happen. Love is not a Cougar or Wolverine fan. Neither is the LDS Church. So, heres my deal. BYU is a member of the WCC in all sports except for football. (Mens volleyball and both men and womens track teams also compete in the MPSF. UVU fields all its current teams in the WAC. Nothing would change for either schools. If there could be a football only collaboration, it would still have to be as an independent. But according to my projections, it would be a much-improved football program. You add 40,000 more students to your fan base. You also add another chunk of alumni base. As a sports derivative of both schools, you also alleviate the honor code and academic admittance issues. Its a no brainer in my opinion. BYU provides facilities and academics for those football players for whom that is important. They also provide an established BYUTV network and national contacts for networks, scheduling and streaming. UVU would, at its current academic level, provide an admittance to marginal academic football prospects, for which almost all other Power 5 schools have a process already in place. Its a Cougar cake and eat it too deal. It also elevates UVU academic and athletic reputations. Yeah but.. Would the NCAA allow this? Who would administer this? Who would fund this? Would the LDS Church sign off on this? Would the State Legislature sign off on this? Now, it wont be an immediate reality. And is there anyone that has the ecclesiastical and political clout to make this ever happen and push it forward? I know a guy YeahI know a guy. He wont be available for at least 3 years or maybe longer. That would be Matt Holland, the former President of UVU and currently just beginning his 3-year calling as the LDS Mission President in the North Carolina Raleigh Mission. When he is released that would put current BYU President Kevin J. Worthen at his 7 year mark. A Holland as President of BYU has a familiar ring to it. Now if it is at least 7-8 years from this outside of the box to be opened, it would also coincide with the renegotiations of the current tv contracts. With talk of streaming giants like Netflix and Amazon likely to be in the picture and with the current networks not anxious to pay for conference members who dont pull their own weight when it comes to viewers, A BYU-UVU alliance may just be the beginning of football mergers in the future. For the likes of Kansas-Kansas State to survive and get a piece of the football streaming pie, they may have to merge in football to be viable and viewable. Others that come to mind are schools that are not currently convenient but commutable and doable such as Fresno and San Jose State, Washington State and Idaho, Temple and Navy, Air Force and Colorado State. What about TCU and SMU? Central and South Florida? The way college football is paid out will change. It will be about digital footprint and not stadium attendance. My personal view is that conferences, including P5 conferences will not look like they do now in 7 or 8 years. A BYU-UVU football only merger wont make their current athletic administration staffs happy, but something has to give if schools want to be available and desirable for the streaming money tree that is coming. Kick it to the Curb Before you kick this box to the curb or toss it in the dumpster, let it simmer, do your own study of the future of college football and the NCAA. Throw in what and how you view media in your home. Check out the demographics of UVU and amazing progression as an academic institution. Name somebody with ecclesiastical and political clout better than Matt Holland. Name somebody who not only bleeds Wolverine Green, but also BYU Blue. Until then, I just want to see the bleeding of BYU football stopped this season. What about colors? Green and Blue. Think Seattle Seahawks. What about mascot? The Mighty Mergers? Parkway Panthers? Pigskin Polygamists? Just getting started. The possibilities are endless. College Conglomerates? The United Teamsters? Got a good one. Let me hear it. WHATS THE CONNECTION BETWEEN A DATING APP AND BYU FOOTBALL? According to the internet there are multiple dating apps available. Since Im not in the dating mode or model, I dont know much about them. However, one dating app caught my eye and attention during a family barbeque. Two of my single nephews showed up to celebrate and consume massive quantities of tri tip on the 4th of July. They showed me the dating app call Mutual, which advertises itself as the No. 1 LDS dating app. Im not sure exactly how it works. I think it involves swiping, wiping, griping and typing tenuous truths about yourself. I was curious how people present themselves on line so asked my nephew to bring up a couple of profiles and read them to me. It was the best part of the evening. I loved the girl who described herself and current dating status as, not looking for anything serious, just a husband. Which got me to thinking. With the new transfer rules for athletes where the names of those wanting to transfer will be listed on the NCAA website, a coach/player app is sure to be developed. It will likely be just like the dating apps. You tell what you are looking for and what you offer. If the app was available today, here is how I see Kalani Sitake posting on his profile. Not looking for anything serious, just a quarterback. To Quote James Brown, Please, Please, Please <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1d4etPqp1wI> Purchase Yes, the CS Lite subscription is still free.

HB Arnett's "Lite" hbarnett(a)fiber.net <mailto:hbarnett@fiber.net> 801 372 0819 Vol. 37, Issue 2-A - July 6, 2018 MUCHO MACHO MAN! Here are my top three Mucho Macho Man videos of all time. Hope it helps you get through July and into August. That's when we will discover if there are any Mucho Macho Men ready to play football for the Cougars with the start of fall camp. 1. <https://youtu.be/fV6ubwEks5A> Click Here <https://youtu.be/fV6ubwEks5A> Mucho Macho Man I 2.

Click Here <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1JfTZh0e6c> Mucho Macho Man III Honorable Mention Mucho Macho Man I still cook my Tri Tip the original Santa Maria (and James Bond way). Grilled not shaken or smoked. I went Mendoza (see last issue) with the meat and hit for the cycle (4 for 4) on July 4. Still use the same recipe I learned 35 years ago from my uncle, a real Santa Marian. Two parts salt, one-part pepper and rub it on liberally. Get a loaf of French bread to sop up the au jus. Throw in some homemade salsa (large can of diced tomatoes, 1 tomatillo, 1 each of every kind of every pepper you find at the store). Throw in a little onion and if you don't speak Spanish, you soon will. For best results, sear both sides, then find a comfortable chaise lounge and lay down with eyes closed for ten minutes. Then get up and turn meat over. Repeat every ten minutes for 45 minutes if you like it rare. Let it cook another 15 minutes if you are a well-done type of carnivore. Speaking of turning the meat over, you can tell the rookies from the Santa Maria veterans by what they use to execute the turn. I call mine "Hook 'em Horns". It was handmade by my Santa Maria uncle and gifted to me because he said I had "the touch". It is the only thing in my meager mucho macho estate that my kids will fight over. We capped off the 4th with our usual fireworks "lite" show in the street in front of the house. My grand kids' favorite also was my favorite. Just thought I would share. My progeny called it doggone good. <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8z_4r4IATqY> What It Is?

HB Arnett's "Lite" hbarnett(a)fiber.net <mailto:hbarnett@fiber.net> Vol. 37, Issue 2 - July 3, 2018 Happy 4th of July! Now would be an appropriate time to re-read the Preamble to the Constitution <https://constitutioncenter.org/interactive-constitution/preamble> as we celebrate the birth of our nation tomorrow. Speaking of preambles, July is also the month leading up to all the hype of a BYU fall football camp beginning in August. There hasn't ever been a fall camp in Provo where the tenor and talk hasn't been about how improved BYU is, how they will be nationally ranked and the surprise team of the nation. It is just the nature of the beast. Every coach in America is going to honk and hype his team. That's how tickets are sold. There is always an exception, however. Bronco Mendenhall may be an exceptional coach, but he is also sometimes the ultimate exception. <https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/bronco-mendenhall-says-virg inia-has-27-acc-caliber-football-players-on-our-roster/> So, I have 30 days before I start honking and hyping the BYU football horn and mushing and gushing along with all the other media types about the three T's of BYU football. That would be Testosterone, Tackling and Talent. Of the Big Three, an improvement in talent will be what we should be looking for. Meanwhile, it is still July, so I want to talk about the 3M's. MERIDIAN, MIRANDA AND MENDOZA Meridian.I'll be in Meridian, Idaho with all my immediate family gathered from many states to celebrate my birthday July 22. I won't tell you how old I will be, but I can give you the 3M hints.

We were both born in Arizona and both have lived in Utah during our lives. We both have profited from singing. She gets paid to do it and I get paid to not do it. Miranda.as in Miranda Rights.

If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you. Do you understand the rights I have just read to you? With these rights in mind, do you wish to speak to me?" These are my rights as publisher of CS Lite. I can write what I want unless I, or you the reader, find it objectionable (think the 3P's, prurient, pornographic or Pro Ute). As for the definition of objectionable or "Pro Ute", I refer you to Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart who said in the Jacobellis case in 1964 involving obscenity "I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it <https://www.google.com/search?q=rice+eccles+stadium+images&safe=strict&rlz= 1C1CHBF_enUS730US730&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=oDOSWR-FPQsR5M%253A%252Cq JhLCe06yrnFEM%252C_&usg=__ql77jo3oFJ7WDJ0B4WbvvzmeVIc%3D&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwip_ P2i9YHcAhXDyoMKHbSqCcYQ9QEIMzAE#imgrc=oDOSWR-FPQsR5M:> ". Me, too! I know "Pro Ute Propaganda" when I see it and you won't see it in this letter. As for your rights, since you are receiving the letter for free, you don't have any, other than to quit reading. (I am happy, however, to receive feedback and contributions, both positive and negative.) Mendoza.as in The Mendoza Line. The Mendoza Line is an expression in baseball in the United States, deriving from the name of shortstop Mario Mendoza, whose poor batting average is taken to define the threshold of incompetent hitting. The cutoff point is most often said to be .200 (although Mendoza's career average was .215) and, when a position player's batting average falls below that level, the player is said to be "below the Mendoza Line". This is often thought of as the offensive threshold below which a player's presence on a Major League Baseball team cannot be justified, regardless of his defensive abilities. The term is used in other contexts when one is so incompetent in one key skill that other skills cannot compensate for that deficiency. So, what's the current Mendoza Line for Kalani Sitake and Dave Rose? Both are nice guys and good guys, but how many wins will it take this year and possibly next to justify their continued employment as head coaches at the revenue sports of BYU. And what is the Mendoza Line for Tom Holmoe? Does he have one? Should he have one? Both Sitake and Rose have exercised their own Mendoza Methods for their staffs. Especially Sitake. He has "Mendozed" most of his original staff out the door. Here it is in chart form. Position 2016 (Then) 2018 (Now) Head Coach Kalani Sitake Kalani Sitake Offensive Coordinator Ty Detmer Jeff Grimes Defensive Coordinator Ilaisa Tuiaki Ilaisa Tuiaki Quarterback Coach Ty Detmer Aaron Roderick Running Back Coach Reno Mahe AJ Steward Offensive Line Coach Mike Empey Ryan Pugh Tight End Coach Steve Clark Steve Clark Wide Receiver Coach Ben Cahoon Fesi Sitake Defensive Line Steve Kaufusi Ilaisa Tuiaki Linebackers Ilaisa Tuiaki Ed Lamb Safeties Ed Lamb Preston Hadley Cornerbacks Jenaro Gilford Jenaro Gilford Director of FB Operations Russel Tialevea Jon Swift Strength and Conditioning Tafisi Nu'u, AJ Middleton Tafisi Nu'u, AJ Middleton, Justin McClure Director of Athletic Relations Jasen Ah You Position Closed Support Services Coordinator Position Didn't Exist Jasen Ah You Director of Recruiting Operations Tevita Ofahengaue Position Closed Development & On-Campus Recruiting Coordinator Position Didn't Exist Tasha Player Director of Player Personnel Jack Damuni Alema Fitisemanu Community Relations Director New Position Created Jack Damuni Director of Player Development Sione Kinikini Position Closed Here and Gone: Here is a list of those employed by Sitake and BYU in 2016 that are no longer employed by BYU Football: Ty Detmer, Reno Mahe, Ben Cahoon, Mike Empey, Steve Kaufusi, Russell Tialevea, Sione Kinikini, Tevita Ofahengaue. Now for the Mendoza Line for Rose. How many Mendoza makeovers and do overs does he get before he wins a regular season or tournament WCC Basketball title? For those counting, it is now 6 seasons and counting without a title. For Holmoe, the Mendoza line is trending up and down, with down the latest result, when it comes to the Learfield Director's Cup. The Cup indicates the overall strength of an athletic program by ranking all programs. This year the Cougars finished No. 45 in the Director's Cup. That's the Cougars worst ranking since 2009 when they came in at 47. Here are the last ten rankings for the Cougars. 2009 - 49; 2010 - 36; 2011 - 37; 2012 - 43; 2013 - 43; 2014 - 42; 2015 - 38; 2016 - 30; 2017 - 31; 2018 - 45. JACK SQUAT AND JACK MORMON I've been told many times over the years that I don't know Jack Squat, but I'm pretty sure I dated his sister in high school. Enough personal teenage trivia, however. You might know Jack Mormon. Pretty sure he coached somewhere in Utah in the early 50's. In case you are a little fuzzy on his coaching tree and te line, here is what I discovered about him. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Mormon#Origin_of_the_term> But can he coach at BYU? Non-members can play at BYU and non-members can coach at BYU, but what about a Jack-member or Jack Mormon? If a JM wants an athletic employment authorization and an OK, he will need an EE. That means ecclesiastical endorsement. That will entail a PPI where they will ask about your math skills. They will ask you if you know what 10 percent of your income is. So, a Jehovah's Witness, JW, and technically a Hari Krishna, HK, can coach at BYU, but not at the highest (HC) level, but a Jack Mormon, JM, can't. So that puts an end to the always thought of MLM. No, not Multi-Level-Marketing, but Mike Leach Maybe? Just a thought, but a passing one. Yes, pun intended. And yes, I've always wondered what happened to Jack Squat's sister.

HB Arnett's "Lite" hbarnett(a)fiber.net <mailto:hbarnett@fiber.net> Vol. 37, Issue 1-B the last of week - June 30, 2018 MEA Culpa Scoreboard Thanks to "Lite" recipients who keep track of my spelling errors, grammar errors, egregious errors and my advancing age errors. Here is my first scoreboard update from "Memory Lane, or lack of it". "Lite in the Lobe" I called Joe Critchlow Joe Critchfield because I was thinking Crutchfield, as in Tony, the BYU Cougar cornerback out of Pasadena's Muir High School a couple of decades ago. Here he is then and now. "Late in Life Lapse" This was totally a fishing faux pas. The stats should have been for yards per pass attempts (Casting). Yesterday I detailed yards per completion (Catches). Here is the correct conversion. Season Starting QB Yards per Attempt Season Record 2017 Mangum 10.47 4-9 2016 Hill 10.46 9-4 2015 Mangum 12.64 9-4 2014 Hill, Stewart 11.08, 13.17 8-5 2013 Hill 12.45 8-5 2012 Nelson 11.11 8-5 2011 Heaps, Nelson 5.76, 8.50 10-3 2010 Heaps 6.05 7-6 2009 Hall 8.70 11-2 2008 Hall 8.20 10-3 2007 Hall 7.76 11-2 2006 Beck 9.3 11-2 Fast Backward To Random Seasons 2003 Berry 6.10 4-8 2001 Doman 8.7 12-2 1996 Sarkisian 10.0 14-1 1995 Sarkisian 8.9 7-4 1994 Walsh 8.0 10-3 1993 Walsh 9.4 6-6 1990 Detmer 9.2 10-3 1986 Lindsley 7.8 8-5 1984 Bosco 8.5 13-0 1983 Young 9.1 11-1 1982 Young 8.4 8-4 1980 McMahon 10.3 12-1 1979 Wilson 8.7 11-1 2018 NFL Draft Top 5 QB Picks Yards per attempt Season Record 1st Pick Browns OU's Mayfield 11.76 12-2 2nd Pick Jets USC's Darnold 8.7 11-3 3rd Pick Bills Wyo's Allen 6.61 8-4 4th Pick Cardinals UCLA's Rosen 8.24 6-6 5th Pick Ravens Louisville's Jackson 8.74 8-5 Here's my take. For BYU to have a much-improved season record this year, The Cougar Quarterback, whoever it is, needs to be in the 8.0 and above yards per attempts range. Taysom Hill produced good records, in the 6.5 ypa area, but that seems skewed because of his prolific rushing talents. BYU's most recent run of football success was 2006 (Beck): 11-2, 2007 (Hall): 10-3, 2008 (Hall):11-2 and 2009 (Hall 11-2. The Cougars went 43-9 in that 4-year span and the average passing yards per attempt per season was 8.49. When it comes to BYU football this year, 8 seems to be the magic number. Steve Young isn't making a Cougar comeback, but 8 yards per passing attempt or better needs to if jobs are retained and a fan base soothed. Just for fun, Jeff Grimes is the official offensive coordinator, but his specialty while working at LSU, Virginia Tech, Auburn and Colorado was as a running game coordinator. He and Sitake has hired Aaron Roderick, the former BYU receiver and long-time Utah coach to be the passing game coordinator. Thought it might be interesting to look at Roderick's record as an offensive coordinator using the same parameters above. Season Quarterback Yards per Attempts Season Record 2003 SUU OC Zimmerman 5.43 4-7 2004 SUU OC Reher 7.57 6-5 2010 Utah Co-OC Wynn 7.81 10-2 2015 Utah Co-OC Wilson 6.67 10-3 2016 Utah Co-OC Williams 7.07 9-4 Consider the restart of Cougar Sportsline Lite as my free lunch to all BYU fans. I hope you enjoy it. As stated previously, there is no cost for your subscription. Speaking of lunch and launching, I have developed a new golf product that is now available on Amazon.com. All proceeds from sales of this product go directly to me, HB Arnett, and will help provide the "free lunch meat" for continued publication of Cougar Sportsline Lite! There is no charge for the newsletter, but The Putt Partner sells for $14.95. Consider it a back-door campaign contribution without having to report it to the Federal Election Commission and without worry of being investigated or indicted by a Grand Jury. Investigation by your wife, however, might be another matter. If you are a golfer, know a golfer, or just are curious or magnanimous, the more sales and reviews I get on Amazon will greatly influence the continuation of the newsletter. I am especially in need of reviews, positive if possible. Even if you aren't a golfer but know golfers, I'm hoping you will send your friends and family to my Amazon page.
