Welcome to Smuggle Me

It was really nice to read that Cougar Soccer Might have a Chance at the Playoffs. I think it is a great premise, but this is just not the case. It is a perfect example of why Newsnet writers are so fully BYU biased that they have no perspective. Anyone who has watched the BYU soccer season knows that they have greatly improved and that they deserve some recognition, but to think that BYU soccer will make it the playoffs the way they are playing is ludicrous. That is like thinking that BYU football is going to win the MWC this year(as much as I want them to) I would love to see BYU soccer in the playoffs in a semi pro league. What a great thing for BYU and for soccer. I just don’t think that it’s very reasonable. All the previous articles written by “professional” journalists have said good things about BYU soccer and its improvement, but hasn’t been close to a playoff worthy team. Hopefully this year will rollover to next year when we might have improved. Just don’t talk about it prematurely.

I was reading along today on my favorite site: CougarFan and I found an article entitled: ABC to Broadcast BYU Football Opener(or something like that). I linked to the article just to find that it will be on ABC, but only regionally.

How WRETCHED is that. I guess I can chock one more notch for moving to Utah. That is unless Las Vegas is in the same region, but I’m not betting on it. I wonder if one of my friends can stream it to me over the internet. The technology for that needs to come quicker. I think it would be a gold mine. Worst case it would at least satisfy me need for BYU football. At least the season opener should be broadcast, because if they lose after that then you don’t need to watch much more until they play the dirty utes.
