Coaches #10, AP #11 BYU Cougars against unranked, last place Utah Utes (in Salt Lake)

[TripletDaddy]

When did the Marriot Center become not a dump? It was a grotesque barn when it was new. Does it still have all those fugly bleachers?

Listen up, if Utah and BYU were publically traded companies, Utah would be a buy right now and BYU would be a sell. The future belongs to Utah.

You may be onto something, Utah would be a great Buy right now: nobody wants it.

Syracuse passed on him... other than that, just some no-names. Oh-- some Utah fans tried to convince some message board peeps a while ago that they were in the mix for Jimmer. HA!

Utah never recruited Jimmer. I think Rose was ahead of the game on Jimmer and he wasn't heavily recruited at all. A lot of schools missed on him.

[MarkGrace]

Jimmer nothing like Damon, on or off the court. I think he has a similar game to Luke Ridnour.

Luke ridnour? We're just grasping for comparisons now. They play nothing alike. They are, however, both white and that seems to be enough for most people to make a comparison.

What does WCAC stand for? I don't even know. All I know is it's a bunch of crappy overpriced private schools that baby sit stupid rich kids. Whatever happened to Gonzaga?

[MartyFunkhouser]

BYU fans really should enjoy this while it lasts. Things will not always be like this in the rivalry. There will be a time when the Utes are up and BYU is down again.

BYU will be fine when Jimmer graduates, but that is a once in a generation player and it will be tough for BYU to ever replace him.

Calling the Huntsman Center a dump was crossing the line. Especially from BYU fans. If you want to see me put on the brass knucks just call the Huntsman Center a dump.

Oh brother, MP. Pulling out the "BYU fans should enjoy this while it lasts"?!?!? And frankly, our enjoyment of Jimmer as a player has nothing to do with how well Utah is doing.

Absolutely. I'm just glad I was along for the ride.

The huntsman center is a dump. The concourse is dark and narrow.

My FIL is an engineer. He wondered aloud if the ceiling still contained asbestos. Lol. FIL with the Ute trash talk.

Ps Is that carpet that lines the hanging scoreboard? It is a sweet setup, much different than most arenas.

Only saw the first part of the first half. Looks like the game went about as I expected. Utes kept it close for 10 min or so and then the wheels came off. I thought the final differential would be in the high-teens. Jimmer is unbelievable. He is in range as soon as he hits half court. He can get his shot off whenever.

Utah hoops has a long way to go. Boylen is done. He has no answer to coach this team. There is some good young talent but it's raw. It needs coaching and Boylen doesn't seem to be able to develop players or bring in enough depth. Hopefully the next coach can turn things around.

Huntsman Center = a dump.

The Huntsman Center is a dump.

Whatever happened to Gonzaga?

They are 11-5 and only lost to SDSU by 3. Why do you ask?

[Jeff Lebowski]

Rose wanted to give Ute fans another chance to give Greatness the ovation he deserves. They failed.

Yes. This.
