It has been a pretty good little stretch for BYU athletics.  The BYU men’s basketball team is on a winning streak, including a pair of road wins.  It is shaping out to be a pretty good season.  Today’s game against Air Force was exciting.  It was pretty obvious that AFA was a good team, and I’m glad BYU came out on top.  There were a lot of fans there, and the noice level was pretty high.  The officiating was slightly better than it has been the last couple of games that I’ve seen.

Speaking of officiating, how does a ref at mid-court see a foul near the baseline when the ref just a few feet away didn’t.  Either way you look at it, some one wasn’t doing their job.  Either the closer ref isn’t seeing things that he should be, or the further away ref is making something up.

I didn’t see the volleyball game, but I heard it was pretty good.  Especially since we are number 2 ranked, and we beat, in 4 games, number 1 ranked Pepperdine.  If we can beat them again tonight, then we would have a pretty good reason to take their number 1 ranking.

The women’s basketball team beat the New Mexico team, who was three places higher than our team in the national rankings.  This means the only team we have lost to all season long, is NC State, who is currently ranked in the 20s somewhere.  We should see some improvement in the rankings, and maybe we can win out the season.  That would be cool.

Finally, I saw that number 23 Iowa upset number 21 Michigan.  While a upset like that is not that adnormal, the score of the game certainly upset a lot of people.  Iowa killed Michigan 94 to 66.  How do you blow out a ranked team by almost 30 points?
