Here Comes December

 

We have entered the twelfth month of the year. 2020 is about over, and we hope it will be a much better year next year. Again this month, during the first 25 days, the Church is doing the Light the World campaign. Every day, the Church will make a suggestion of what to do to focus the Christmas season on Christ.

It was pretty much an uneventful week other than BYU sports. BYU basketball played three games losing one of them. The first two games were played in Connecticut. The first game was a horrific loss to Southern Cal, 79-53, and it really was not that close. The next day, BYU faced off against St. John's. BYU played very well and won 74-68. BYU played MUCH better in the second game. If they would have played like that against USC, it would have been closer. BYU closed out the week with a game against Utah State in Logan. With 10 minutes left, BYU led 57-46 playing very well. I thought BYU would cruise to an easy win. However, the Cougars then started throwing up bricks and turned the ball over. In the end, BYU won 67-64, BYU's ninth straight win against the Aggies.

The huge downer of the week was BYU's football game against Coastal Carolina. BYU was ranked 8th and Coastal Carolina was 14th. Both teams were undefeated, and BYU set the game up on Tuesday. So the team dashed to South Carolina to play the game. BYU should have stayed home. They played horribly and lost 22-17. Any dreams of playing in a New Years Bowl were completely dashed.
