Falcons obliterate Cougs
BYU falls behind 19-0, never poses a threat
Deseret Morning News
AIR FORCE ACADEMY — Once upon a time on this side of the Rockies, folks publicly cried over the age advantage of BYU athletes. It was the mantra of coaches, media and players in locker rooms, almost a cliche.
Air Force's Marc Holum drives against Brigham Young's Mike Rose during the Falcons' surprisingly easy 70-39 win over the Cougars on Monday night.Kevin Kreck, Associated Press Now, they're silent on that issue. Instead, Cadets at the Air Force Academy yelled from their seats to the Cougars: "Our cheerleaders could beat you guys." And the gals with pom-poms grinned big as Pike's Peak. Air Force used the old steal and dunk play on BYU Monday night and raced to a convincing 70-39 victory. The Cougar loss concluded a road swing in preparation for rival Utah in which they were outscored by 50 points in two games. In the press room, Falcon players joked about record dunks on the Cougars and who had the best one. Age was not a factor. "That was the most embarrassing 40 minutes of basketball we've had since I've been at BYU," Cougar coach Steve Cleveland said. Pointing to himself, Cleveland continued: "You are going to play poorly some nights, but tonight I felt we did not compete. And that is my fault. I am responsible. We just did not give them a game, and I feel bad about that." The win lifted AFA to 16-10 and 7-4 in the MWC. BYU dropped to 9-18 and 3-9. The first score of Monday's game set the tone. Air Force guard Antoine Hood swiped the ball from Austin Ainge and raced in for a thundering slam. On the next Cougar possession, he tried it again and earned a foul, but he got the ball and was on his way. Minutes later, Hood dribbled down the lane and slammed the ball on two Cougars. "No question our defense was outstanding; you saw that from Hood on that first basket," said AFA coach Chris Mooney. "Obviously BYU is down and has had injuries, but I thought they played hard to the end." Debatable. The 39 points was the fewest every scored by a Cleveland-coached BYU team. It was the worst Cougar MWC loss ever, or since the Cougars were here a year ago. The 13 points at half were the fewest by a BYU squad since the shot clock. It was AFA's first sweep of the Cougars in Falcon history. The Cougars came out flatter than the salt flats. They looked uninspired, uninterested, intimidated and emtionally unplugged. If the 19-point whipping at New Mexico wasn't embarrassing, this was a BYU pants pull down. On the other end, AFA, fresh off getting tagged by Utah, was cannabalistic. Hood called AFA's defense "animalistic," and on the sidelines, his coach wanted it to continue for the game. It just about did. BYU's leading scorer was Sam Burgess (9 points), a guy who took off his sweat bands in disgust just a week ago at home when he knew he'd never get in. The Falcons were led by Hood's 14 and Nick Welch's 11, but no Falcon starter played more than 23 minutes. AFA outscored BYU 16-0 on fast-break points, 22-7 off turnovers, 38-6 inside the paint. Or in other words, cardboard cutouts may have done a little worse than BYU. AFA led 37-13 at half. The 31-point beating was BYU's worst league blood-letting since New Mexico got 41 on the Cougars in Provo in 1997, the old WAC. When BYU's guys weren't missing shots, they had their tries blocked.When they didn't carelessly turn the ball over, they were having it stolen as they watched Falcon players race in for lay-ins and dunks. On defense, BYU's men weren't close. "You guys in this room could have made 3-pointers at that distance," Cleveland said. It got so bad at 19-0 as BYU clunked and clanged around on zip-for-10 shooting, the AFA crowd in Clune Arena started chanting for the Cougars to score. Falcon players were administering the ultimate insult by just laughing. "When you're down 19-0, you have to reach down deep," BYU's Brock Reichner said. Reichner got his first career start — a matchup issue. He held his man, Jacob Burtschi, who had 15 against Utah, to 2 points, and that wasn't his fault. Burtschi dunked on Terry Nashif after stealing the ball from Mike Hall and going the distance. Austin Ainge scored BYU's first field goal after the third TV timeout at 9:20, a long 3-point shot that brought applause from Falcon partisans. Trailing 32-8 after Mike Hall got a layin, AFA cadets started chanting "double-digits, double-digits." Suspense grew on BYU's next possesion. It ended when Burtschi got his steal and sprinted untouched for a slam dunk and 34-8 lead. To that stage, the Cougars were 2 for 17 from the field and Ainge's bomb was the only make in 8 tries from beyond the arc. Jared Jensen, who had 9 of 10 against New Mexico on Saturday, got off just one shot in the first half, and it was blocked. BYU ended up shooting 28 percent on 14 of 50 shots, 6 of 22 from beyond the arc. AFA finished with reserves on the floor, hitting at a 56-percent clip. But Cleveland said the stats didn't begin to tell the story. His guys barely showed up. "Except for two or three guys, we didn't have it tonight."

Hold On Toasty!
Stop the insanity! Here is the blog we will be discussing today: (See it yourself at www.toasthabit.blogspot.com)
Whoa whoa whoa. I was recently attacked by an ill-informed citizen of the United States. It would be wrong of me to assume that this so called "Garlic boy" is even a U.S. citizen, since it says nothing about his citizenship in his user profile. For the record, I AM a U.S. citizen. Here is the article to be discussed today:
Driving is a Right!I was checking out the Toast Addict Chronicles this morning and I noticed that Toast-Addict had an entry in his blog defending an auto parts store. Here is the entry that we will be discussing today:
I am not sure if I like or dislike Pep-Boys yet. The fact that every time I have been to The Boys' place, I have had to wait for over 4 hours to have something done to my car. I realize that a car is a real privilege and that 4 hours isn't that bad to wait for a car repair.While on the subject, I think Pep-Boys should change their name to Pepe-Boys. I think that they would look a lot better wearing sombreros and that one guy already has a really cool moustache. Good work Pepe-Boys.
There are 4 main problems with this short blog entry.
First, owning a car and driving it on the public roadways is a right. Everybody knows that. Driving a car is a practice so deeply rooted in the traditions and history of the people of the United States that to deny it would be to deny the people of this country justice and liberty. To deny a United States citizen of the right to drive his car would shock the conscience of all English speaking people.
Second, the Pep-Boys don't actually exist. They never did. They are a marketing device that the evil auto parts store uses to manipulate you people.
Third, how can you wait 4 hours for them to do something to your car? They aren't mechanics. You buys stuff from them and then you take that stuff and you do stuff with that stuff to your car.
Fourth, this sentence doesn't make any sense: "The fact that every time I have been to The Boys' place, I have had to wait for over 4 hours to have something done to my car." It should say, "The fact that every time I have been to the Boys' place, I have had to wait for over 4 hours to have something done to my car has caused me to seriously injure over 349 Pep-Boys employees." Or maybe, "The fact that every time I have been to Pep-Boys, I have had to wait for 4 hours to get the part I need makes me so mad that I quit eating toast altogether."
Anywho, before you defend them, remember, Toast Addict, that auto-parts stores have been sued over 500 times in the United States alone for fraud, murder, satanic worship, and racial discrimination. Mostly fraud though. Peace.
I can't even believe that I have dedicated so much time to such rubbish. Let me first say that I admire Garlic boy with all of my left foot and wish the best for him and his loved deprived law school students wife. I can just imagine him. Lonely in law school. The only thing sadder than his short stature is his sad face and long greasy hair. His pudgy fingers miss the keys on his keyboard sometimes and so he has to satisfy his frustration by taking it out on others poor grammar. I can see him now, entering his minivan; his resentful tooshie on 3 phone books so that he can see over the steering wheel. Poor Garlic boy. I feel for you.Allow me to explain, my dear friend, that for me, driving is a priveledge. Here in Not-so-pefect-ville we have an evil Car Czar that reigns with an iron fist! As we are not so priveldged to have our own cars, the Car Czar uses the bit of pity he has left in his heart to lend us his boss' cars. I can only hope that some day you will find me, Garlic boy, and take me away to your perfect law school world. Until then, please do not assume that I support the Pepe-Boys. I only want to keep the car that I have. With all of my left foot....

First of all, this blog entry doesn't make any sense. What is a privel-edge? Is that a new fangled razor blade? Second of all, my hair isn't greasy, it is luxuriously moist. How would you know if my face is sad? The only time we've ever met is at the "Garlic Toast Convention USA," held in Tyler, TX. I was only sad that day because I met more toast aficionados than garlic lovers. My fingers are a little swollen, but how dare you mock them as pudgy! Everyone knows that eating large amounts of garlic causes swelling in the extremities and the thorax. I have to sit on phone books when I drive my mini-van because the padding on my seat was eaten away by the powerful corrosive fumes that my body emits. (Another side effect of the massive amount of garlic I consume daily.) I am a U.S. citizen, I am not Transylvanian as some have suggested. And for your information, Toasty, the benefits I enjoy as a result of garlic's amazing regenerative powers, such as the colossal strength of my immune system, far outweigh the loneliness I feel as a result of the odor I now emit. Besides, my doctor said that if I quit eating garlic now it would take years for the remaining odor to work its way out of my system. Anyway, stop being such a toast elitist and try some garlic you cinnamon-sugar pansy! Then maybe you could be colossal like me. Forget about it!
P.S.
Mrs. Garlic Boy actually ENJOYS having her very own wing of the "Ajo Ranch House" as we like to call it.
