Utah-BYU II

[Jarid in Cedar]

Well this is a shitty start

[Clark Addison]

Jimmer Frdette, obviously smarting from Indy's criticism of his defensive foul percentage, picks up two fouls in the first five minutes and is out of the game.

Thanks Indy.

[Brian]

when did haws get an eggplant implant in his forehead?

[Commando]

Loyd is beasting!

[LiveCoug]

Loyd is a freaking stud. The PG position is ok for the next couple years.

FWIW, at the time of this posting, no white guys on BYU's team have made a 2 pt FG. That's pretty impressive considering we're up 43-24. Useless stat of the day.

THe entire Ute team must have had stomach flu. I can't recall last time I saw a box score with NO ONE scoring double figures. 26% from the field. Good grief.

Take heart. Jimmer did not score 25 points.

Oh, no you don't! That is such a weak excuse! Stomach flu? Highly doubt it, pal.

Either that, or it was nerves that caused them to miss 3/4 of their shots. I doubt it was Jimmer's defense!

I know, I know. A good coach could help his team overcome nerves. But don't give up yet on this Boylen fellow. I like him and I'd hate to see the couldn't be prouder Ute fans turn on him.

That one is going to leave a mark. Jeez. For me, personally, I have never had two worse evenings in a row. Ever. That game made The Tooth Fairy look like Citizen Kane.

Several thoughts:

1. I heard the "Just like football" chant a few times. Uh, incorrect. That was not just like football. The Utah football team is well coached, plays fast, and is going the right direction. Also, the Utah football coach has never had a steal against SDSU.

2. Utah didn't "make shots" because BYU played something called "defense." BYU was quite prepared, which is shocking because Utah has such intricate offensive sets. They run, like, awesome offensive stuff that my niece hasn't yet mastered for Fairfield Junior High, so word to BYU for snuffing that out.

3. If Mike Loyd Jr. is that good, imagine how good Mike Loyd Sr is! Also, Mike Loyd Jr. could have played a terrific crack addict on the Chappel show.

4. Huuuuge props to Brandon Davies. His footwork was pretty freaking solid tonight, he creates space, and he seemed to have a pretty good stroke. He could end up being just beastly. If you say that word with a slight lisp, it's even better. BEEAASTHTLY. That's how beastly he could be.

5. For BYU to look like that with Feminine Fred playing like Jace Tavita, just wow.

6. Henderson did nothing tonight to silence the homers on CUF. Brutal. However, it's not like he stood out. In fact, when Tre Smith enters the game at the 8:00 mark and things are pretty much the same, it really makes me wonder. I'm not giving up, but boy howdy, I'd like to Men in Black this one from my memory.

7. I will remain firmly bolted to the Jim Boylen bandwagon until he is canned. I will. In the postgame presser, he gave Gordon Monson the what for. The last coach who did that at Utah was pretty good. Here's hoping there's a precedent here. If we can just get Boylen to lose all sense of hygiene and manners, and start teaching some sort of basic level of fundamentals, we are well on our way! Also, a lot of extra practice time doesn't seem to hurt.

8. Not so plucky tonight.

9. I sat near two shmarmy high school BYU punks wearing tight pink shorts. They were everything you would expect guys in pink shorts to be, if they also had popped collars and their name was Roxton or something. While I will cut them some slack due to their age and the disadvantage of being homeschooled, I would like to thank them for rekindling my hatred of BYU. I was getting a little soft, and I needed a wake me up. The only thing that could have been more effective as a hate promoter would have been an appearance by that neanderthal mouth breather, Nate Cooper. Sadly, the two little goobers in the pink shorts will have to due.

Very very funny. And I wondered who Boylen was yelling at. I'm tickled pink (but not BYU punk pink) that it was Monson.

Now I'm very intriqued. What happened to you last night?

Like all great poets, you thrive on suffering. The hard part about Boylen turning this thing around will be your writers block that seems to materialize when the Utes are having good times.
