It’s been a fun October.. excited to get to Halloween. Here’s a couple fun screenshots from this month.
I don’t know if Karey from Derry is real or not but, the picture on the left is from a very real man in Ohio.
I’ve stayed away from my mentions and DM’s this month since these back to back days but.. I’m sure if I went in there now, I’d find some wishes for and threats of death for me.
“Don’t read them.” They’re everywhere.
Annnd.. They still exist though right? I just don’t know the person is in Ohio then? That’s where I’m at now. So I do get a bit fucked up when a couple days after The New York Times releases a “WE ARE ALLOWED TO AND SHOULD HATE THIS GUY” piece, a University puts a video out from their own page, indicating “we think he’s a corny creep here.” It’s a weird time. The things that get said about what my daughter and son and wife deserve are all rather wild as well.
I haven’t talked to anybody about what the days were like leading up to Tennessee’s GameDay last year. There’s been some misreporting but in the ball park articles. Everybody in the “security” world was worried of a copycat incident potentially happening. GameDay was a few days out and we were the next huge gathering on a campus. The world, in front of the entire internet, just proved that we had gotten to a rather extreme place.
The FBI.. alongside, Disney security, Tennessee State Police, Knoxville PD, University Police, everybody in area, all had the very same goal to protect the shit out of the area. FBI snipers were sent down there, huge presence of police.. it was a surreal moment. The conversation about the death threats I had been receiving in life was definitely a huge topic. I don’t think it was the FBI that suggested the Bullet Proof Vest, but it was certainly an idea presented by one of the security groups. We had no idea what to expect. Nobody had been in that type of situation before. Everybody wanted the best for everybody. I never felt safer and never felt more appreciative of the people that were around me that morning including the students that came out and did WAY more than they could’ve ever imagined for my soul.
How’d we get here? I had to wrestle with that a bit. FBI’s sending snipers so me and the lads don’t get shot. That’s crazy. I don’t know if they teach how you’re supposed to handle these types of things in classes or something but, I was a bit rattled by the current reality of my World.
I think what I realized was, when I talked about the Algerian Olympic Gold Medal boxer, and then I was HEADLINE Quoted and Captioned by platforms with rather large influence over certain communities, they left out the massive empathy part of the conversation that I had about the entire subject. I was labeled and immediately targeted. Such is life I guess.. since then, every mistake, misstep or misquote relaunches A LOT of folks into a frenzy of me being the worst person on Earth who needs to be eliminated, and they gain more and more folks who want me unalived or as they actually say it “Kirked.”
I was created on the internet. I’ve been “cooked” and shit talked and criticized since I have memories. I am no where near perfect.. and there’s no way everybody is gonna agree with me but I had no idea that this is just what life would become.
I’m trying my best in real time but.. I am to talk about sports and care about the future of sports. I owe everything to sports. I’m grateful as hell to do what I do. I literally try to love every minute of the incredible opportunities I get to experience but.. it’s certainly all a much different life than I could’ve ever expected.
I try to give everything I have, all the time.. I am very sorry to those that despise me.
The video is how I opened The Tennessee show.. I put on a USA Sports Coat and celebrated Ball. I love sports because it’s unifying. That’s all I’m ever trying to be… actually.
& Connor.. I LOVE YOU BROTHER, I’m sorry I’ve brought you lads into all of this as well.

The last 3 days for the Mighty Utes of The University of Utah.
“Pat McAfee is cheesy and cringe.”
“Why doesn’t he like us?”
“Why don’t we get 3 Million Dollars for a kick? BYU got 3 million.”
“BYU talks about Jesus too much.”
A historic run for the guys up north. 🤡

Maybe the mormons aren't peculiar?
Sometimes I wonder whether the appeal of the Mormons isn’t their theology at all.
Maybe they just remind us of what America used to be.
It stood out to me watching the BYU Notre Dame game in Provo, the civility and the decorum in the stands, the clean cut look of the fans.
By and large, what Provo is today is what the majority of America used to be.
Mormons in the United States look a lot like what America probably looked like in the 1980s.
Even the modesty standard LDS women hold to now is just what American women wore in the 1980s. Nobody called it modesty back then. It was how people dressed, and you can still see it in how the Saints dress today.
And that culture of wanting to help people, of giving, of showing up, used to be the American culture, not a Mormon one.
I know because I lived in it. I spent years in a small mountain town in the Rockies. There were no Mormons there to speak of, but people had each other’s back. My wife got caught in a snowstorm once and couldn’t drive home, and a stranger drove her home and asked for nothing in return.
The town had complete cohesion. None of the social stratification we take for granted now.
When I went for coffee, the judge was in line at the same counter, and so was the rich man. There was one grocery store, and the rich didn’t shop somewhere else, because there was nowhere else.
People were welcoming and friendly, and they meant it. I made more friends and real connections there than I have anywhere else in my adult life since college. In a sense the whole town was a priesthood quorum. People just helped each other. It was our little Zion.
You still find that in Iowa, across much of the Midwest, in parts of the South. But it used to be the whole of much of the country.
So what I’m getting at is this. The Mormons, as a community, have encapsulated and preserved the American culture that was once simply predominant.
Which makes me wonder. If this were the 1950s, or even the 1970s, would the Mormons seem peculiar at all?
Set a Mormon kid next to a nice kid from Iowa and tell me which one is strange. I don’t know. I really don’t know. I think it’s an open question.
Maybe the Mormons never were a peculiar people.
Maybe the country just moved.

Very RARE AIR last night for Bear Bachmeier 🤯
He’s the FIRST FBS player in the past 30 years to throw, catch, and rush for TD against an AP TOP 5 opponent in the same game

Going to be a scrappy ugly game. But I have confidence in my team to get it done 💯

Big 12 teams beat Notre Dame and Oregon this year. BYU is about to be in the top five, and there are going to be three Big 12 teams in the top ten. Respectfully, maybe everyone can just shut the hell up with the Big 12 slander for a week.

BYU SHOULDN’T HAVE BEEN LEFT OUT OF THE PLAYOFF LAST YEAR.
BYU SHOULDN’T BE LEFT OUT OF THE CHRISTIAN CONVERSATION.
BYU SHOULDN’T BE DISRESPECTED FOR THEIR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS.
BYU SHOULDN’T BE LOOKED DOWN ON BY ANYONE.
BYU SHOULD BE THE #1 TEAM IN THE COUNTRY.
GOD’S PLAN!

Weird stat: No team in college football history has defeated BYU a year after turning down a Pop-Tarts Bowl invite to play BYU the previous season
