Not Too Early Big XII Hoops Predictions: No. 7, BYU
The BYU Cougars will probably be the deepest team in the Big XII, and outside of Houston, no other squad will have as much roster continuity. What they don't have, however, is coaching continuity. Kevin Young takes over for Mark Pope who was poached by Kentucky. Young has next to no college coaching experience but was the associate head coach of the Phoenix Suns in his last stop. Given that the difference between power conference college basketball and the NBA has narrowed dramatically, Young's NBA experience could prove beneficial. However, the college game is far more physical than the NBA--according to no less than Stan Van Gundy--and BYU's downfall last year was a lack of physical and mental toughness. I'm convinced much of BYU's softness traced to Pope, and if Young can instill some toughness in the Cougars, they could go far this season.

Puns, Pamphlets and Plenty More with SIEZE THE INITIATIVE
SALT LAKE CITY — Seize the Initiative is playing at the Fringe Festival located at Trolley Square, and I saw it on Friday, July 26th. Seize the Initiative was directed by Josh Patterson, and written by Yoram Bauman. The play is fundamentally a quaint piece of propaganda designed to educate the audience about clean air, democracy and the boundless enthusiasm for attempting to create change in Utah. There just so happens to be a lukewarm romance sandwiched between all the politics.
Get Truly Haunted at Salt Lake Fringe’s Lady M
SALT LAKE CITY — Lady M, produced at the Great Salt Lake Fringe Festival by Utah Valley University’s department of theatre, is billed as a retelling of the Scottish play from Lady MacBeth’s perspective. Because I’m about to venture to Scotland for the first time and because I’m no stranger to productions of MacBeth over the years, I was pretty excited about this fresh look at the Shakespearean tragedy.
