(Trent Nelson | The Salt Lake Tribune) BYU Cougars head coach Kalani Sitake as Utah hosts BYU, NCAA football at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City on Saturday, Nov. 7, 2026.

You can tell everything about a person by the way he loses. BYU coach Kalani Sitake sprinted across the field to U. of U. coach Morgan Scalley, bear hugged him and spoke a long time to Morgan despite BYU’s loss in the “Holy War.” Every person watching witnessed the integrity of coach Sitake.

On the other side of the nation a few days later, the White House inhabitant sulkily acknowledged the blue wave of the midterm elections as he promised to work with the Democrats. Shortly after, he named Stephen Miller chief of staff to “crack skulls” in the continued reign of terror seen in our nation these past two years.

The man of integrity stands tall while the coward stands behind a yes-man enacting an inhumane agenda.
