Lots o' Links

Here's another edition of Lots o' Links, because the football season is now all but over it'll be very basketball oriented.

Here's a great article about Jimmer Fredette from Times Union in New York. It shows how Jimmer has been a competitor since he was a kid in his backyard! He's fast, he has amazing ball handling, he can shoot, and he can drive it to he basket. And we should credit his brother, TJ, for a lot of his success. Including his ultimate goal of reaching the NBA. But he's not only talented in basketball. His high school football coach even got a call asking about "that receiver" from an assistant at Boston College.

This article from the Deseret News doesn't give too much insight into Jimmer and his career at BYU, but it has plenty of interesting links that are well worth reading. 

Here's an article from Post Star highlighting Jimmer in a way I don't think any of us are use to. He wasn't only great at basketball, but at football too! If he decided to pursue a career in football I'm sure he would have still become a star.

Here are a couple of top 10 lists from the Deseret News about the things BBYU students admire about the U, and the things U students admire about BYU. It's a nice way to increase civility in the rivalry and to remember that both schools are great in their own way.

Jay Drew makes a good point about our schedule so far, it's been pretty easy. But it looks to get harder in the near future.

Not much to say about this one from cougarblue.com, but it's a good read.
