    funk, you've got to think bigger. If Rice were not the absolute best thing for Utah hoops, would BYU fans be singing his praises for the job? Come on, now!

      Pretty much equivalent of where the U is at right now.

        Look, I know you can do better than that. Hey, we beat Boise State!

            Do people really call where Utah plays home games the "Hunty"? That seems like a misspeak waiting to happen.

              Let me see if I can set the correct sarcastic tone here...here goes...(you let me know how I do here LAUte)...

              The Utes are the best program in the nation and deserve the best coach.

              How'd I do?

                Utah fans don't have dirty minds. You're projecting again.

                  Sadly, this post is reflects a hidden truth: many Utah fans legitimately consider their basketball program to be of a comparable caliber to UCLA.

                    But Dave Rice is that fucking good man, he shouldn't be somewhere like Utah. Did you not hear he recruited a bunch of really good LDS players to an LDS school, he is certainly going to steal all those players from BYU once he goes elsewhere. He also has been the top assistant at BYU for 4 years, I don't think Utah can do better than that. I don't even think we should pursue him because he will just turn us down. We would be lucky to get a high school coach, we could never get someone like Rice.

                          We aren't on the level of UCLA by any means, but we aren't Big Sky/WAC level like BYU fans think.

                                The irony in this is that Utah's heyday was in the WAC.
