    If he's going to go anywhere I'm glad it's BYU. They fucking sucked even with a top 2 NFL draft pick at QB, and they'll be further irrelevant with him gone.

    But Christ, this is just one disaster after another. There's plenty of rumblings going around that Puka was like an odd right-wing Dante Pettis with some strange interests, and a combination of that and his political beliefs led to him being somewhat alienated in the locker room. He was also allegedly patient zero for covid - so I'm sure that didn't make him many friends when the season got cancelled. Shitty if true, but probably not something Lake himself could do much to influence. ATBSJLSS.

    I'm patiently awaiting the random guy on the team tweet of something like "how u gon giv the whole team covid and cost us the championship and then be like that?"

    I have not gone through his Twitter feed, but didn't someone say that he removed all UW references?

    That's not the sign of gratitude toward his brothers.
    Terrible and lazy take.
    He wrote the proper send-off, but it's not fully authentic. Something drove him from here.
    In hindsight, after what he said on KJR, and after committing to BYU with his brother, it's hard to blame Jimmy/Junior for this one. I'm gonna take Puka on his word.

    Sounds like he just needed to find the Tug.

    One of the "insider" guys on dawgman is saying someone in the program told him that Puka was injured yet again (wearing a boot all offseason) and that other guys were passing him up. "Wasn't putting in the work" was also thrown into the conversation

    He posted a text exchange

    Sounds like WDWHA.

    It's just one more thing adding to all the free, shitty pub.
