I watched the BYU-Utah game again last night to take a closer look at the youth on the team. It was an exciting win for the program. We don’t get those often enough in the current state of the program so I was forced to rev up my handy DVR.

A few of my impressions:
1) Maybe the Cougs should play 2 games in 3 days more often. It seemed that Coach Rose was preparing cougar nation for a loss by publically stating his displeasure towards the leagues scheduling. I sometimes wonder if athletes are over-prepped prior to competition.

2) Rose is making the right choice by playing his freshmen over the experienced players. BYU has struggled in past years and we don’t have the star players that deserve to be locked in the starting lineup. I do think that potential stars could come out of the freshmen class.

3) Brocker Reichner, although a walk-on, will be missed next year more than expected. His defense is impressive. I think BYU beat Utah simply because the Yewt’s leading scorer was shut down. Normally, BYU does not have the type of athlete necessary to be a “stopper” and it could be some time before we get another.

4) Plaisted and Cummard have the potential to be the real deal. Presently, I think Plaisted is much more of an impact player, but if all of the hype surrounding Cummard is warranted he could be a more valuable asset to the team in the end.

Overall, the game was a blast to watch, but I’m not predicting a Moutain West Championship by any means. I think the Flacons have this year locked up. After Air Force though the league is wide open. Could a possible 2nd place finish be possible for the young Cougars?

It would appear that I didn’t think enough about OverThinker.com. I’ve held onto the domain for the past year stewing over my intentions for it. Originally, my plan was to build something similar to To-Done with my own creative spin. It would have been something enjoyable, but I had to break ties with yet another domain.

My commitment to my current projects can’t be forgotten because I found my new domain for the day. Hey, I’m not afraid to admit it. I’m a domain junky. There I said it! Searching for quality domains has become a hobby and when I spotted OverThinker.com way back when I couldn’t help myself…very marketable domain in my opinion. Basically, it boiled down to the fact that I wasn’t passionate about my new idea. This in no way implies I won’t happily start additional projects. Maybe I’ll just take an additional minute to contemplate adding tomorrow’s domain of the day to my shopping cart ; – ).

In the end I decided an auction would be to painful. : – (
I simply posted that it was available for a low ball amount on my favorite webmaster forum and I had an offer within minutes. FYI…the new owner is considering building a conspiracy theory website. Could be interesting. So did we really land on the moon or what?
