It is hard to justify the cost of a typical streaming service ($9.99) for the insider group. I personally don't care about all the extra events/merch/etc. That said, I'd pay $2.99/mo for all the extra content and insider info. Could you guys consider throwing in that additional tier?
I think we should fill in the south end zone like the horseshoe at Ohio State, although I don’t like Ohio State, otherwise.
More ROC seats first.
More seats for the rest of us.
Just thinking about going to the games this year, has me excited excited.
I was never an athlete although if I may be tried to practice, I could’ve been but I doubt it, I get super excited for the games and totally invested in doing my12th man duties and often leave the stadium with a slightly sore throat from all the yelling.
Justin Kirkland might be the single most important player to get healthy right now. If he can get and stay healthy, this defense will be iron against the run.
The beat digger BYU logo is the best. I’m so glad that byu is leaning that way more
Get Reggie more involved. Wanna know more about him. Also Tei Nacua and Waller would be cool to have on. Or Cody Hagen or Sione Moa. Jatta, Wyelin, or the new line backer would be sick too
Please fill in the corners, at least with something like a giant BYU logo on a giant sheet or something, but those corners need to be filled in
Love hearing from these guys
