Glad You Asked: Weekend To-Dos
Posted By Colin Wolf on August 9, 2013, 12:00 PM
Dear GYA, You know, I think it's total crap that BYU fans didn't like my "Spirit, Tradition and Honor" nameplate idea. But, whatever. Now I know to just keep to our old "traditions." Or, maybe I should only do things within the "spirit" of the program. I guess I could always "honor" the wishes of our alumni. Pfffft. Anything happening this weekend that involves a little "spirit, tradition and honor?" - Coach Bronco Mendenhall---
Coach, Not every idea you have can be a winner. I mean, at least 80 percent of my ides are shit ... except for my Batman quesadilla maker that also doubles as a WiFi hub. Anyway, here's what's up for this weekend. Let's start with Friday's events:
