We all know if a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it, it doesn’t make a sound. What I didn’t know is that if I was in the forest and tried to send Cougar Clicks and there was no internet, nobody would receive it. I didn’t start any forest fires and I didn’t/couldn’t send Cougar Clicks. I apologize profusely and politely, but it was actually pleasant to have no connection to the outside world for a while.

 

I’m back and sending this double Clicks…good for the 7th and 8th.

 

I will be sending out the July issue of Cougar Sportsline later this week. I always thought BYU needed a shot in the arm to rejuvenate the football program, but I’m not sure the shot in the arm which you will read about below is what they had in mind.

 

Remember, only you can prevent forest fires and me from going out of business…Keep those renewals coming and those trees standing.
