Kevin Young took over the BYU men’s basketball program in April, but there have been precious few chances to actually see his team in action outside of an occasional social media video clip. At Marriott Madness on Thursday, the Cougars were present and showed they know how to throw a party. Well, at least the […]

The vibe of Friday’s Region 3 showdown between Skyridge and Lone Peak changed in a hurry. The Knights led 10-7 at halftime and chewed up most of the third quarter on a long drive that reached the Falcons 17-yard line for what could have resulted in a decisive score. Instead, Skyridge pulled off two huge […]

Nobody had been able to beat the Timpview girls volleyball team in over a month. The T-Birds had rolled to eight straight victories, including a five-set win against Maple Mountain in Spanish Fork on Sept. 12. On Tuesday night in Provo, the Golden Eagles got their revenge and handed Timpview its first region loss as […]

  It’s obvious from their responses at Big 12 Media Day in the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City that BYU head coach Amber Whiting and her daughter, sophomore guard Amari, are old hands at answering questions about their unique relationship. “We go to get our nails done every two weeks and there’s no basketball talk, […]

Here’s what’s going on inside Darnell’s head as BYU football heads into another bye week undefeated. We thought the Cougars would be better in 2024, but none of us likely expected an 8-0 start.

Gary Crowton was gone after three straight losing records and there were rumors Whittingham (a former Cougar linebacker) decided to take the job, but as a long-time assistant coach at the University of Utah, opted instead for loyalty and stayed […]

Here’s what’s going on inside Darnell’s head. I believe I just broke my record for the latest (or is it earliest?) time I’ve gone to bed after a BYU football game. It was 3:20 a.m. What about you? Just like my good friend and former Cougar basketball player Jonathan Tavernari, I also taught Elder’s Quorum […]

In the hit movie “Spiderman: Far From Home,” the villain, Mysterio, uses hundreds of drones to create opportunities to appear heroic. It’s an amazing bit of Hollywood special effects. Four weeks ago at LaVell Edwards Stadium, BYU football fans were treated to drones on either side of the stadium — 300 in the south sky […]

Timpanogos went on a 21-7 run in the second quarter against Cedar Valley, assisting on all nine field goals. That’s sharing the ball, and that’s an important trait for successful a basketball team. The big second quarter pushed the Timberwolves out to a 13-point halftime lead, and they led by as many as 20 before […]
