In an Orwellian turn, BYU is cracking down on thought crimes among faculty. So far they're refusing to hire folks, or firing them, for their views on things like marriage equality and feminism. Women are particularly targeted.

Is a new September Six coming? Or do they know from that decision that mass excommunication crosses a PR bridge too far?

The Salt Lake Tribune · Dark days: BYU professors are running scared as premier LDS school steps backwardUnder the LDS Church's new education boss, many BYU faculty members feel demeaned, disrespected, powerless — and afraid.

It was satisfying to watch #BYU football players tackle hard, stopping players at the point of contact.

But also, what an amazing ending. #OklahomaState scored a TD with 1:13 left in the game, deflating the fans. It looked bad when the Cougars were on 4th and 7 with 42 seconds left, but they made it. On their last two plays on offense, they went 62 yards to score a TD with just 11 seconds left.

The renewal of the #HolyWar with #UtahUtes is going to be a special game.
