For Whom the Bell Tolls

BYU plays like that in the first round of the NCAA tournament and they will be the next 2/15 upset. Utah is pathetically bad and a midseason firing of Boylen may be appropriate.

I wish Ute fans peace and happiness.

come on, maintain your dignity.

Someone please punch Kupets in the mouth, please. Nothing like a career running his mouth after hitting a shot to cut it to 8 when the game is over.

Not trying to be a jerk, but was Kupets wearing make up? On slingbox the picture isn't great. On a couple of the close ups on him he appeared to be wearing eyeliner. Made me laugh, especially when he was trash talking.

Utah basketball.

Hey! We beat the spread!

I am deeply suspicious of any BYU fan post that begins with "Not trying to be a jerk but.... " Besides, the eyeliner was a trick, designed to confuse Jimmer. It worked for a while.

lol

BYU really played awful tonight and your competition in the first round as a 2 seed is going to be a team substantially better than Utah. That is how bad things are on the hill.

I don't blame you for your suspicions. I'm really not trying to troll. mp's post reminded me that something looked odd when the kid was trashing talking. I thought it was funny, but I'm pretty sure it was just the product of a bad MTN production compounded by viewing on a slingbox. However, if he was wearing eyeliner then all bets are off on the level of jerkiness I will reach.

I've made the mistake of hanging out on cougarboard. I am wondering if the more reasonable fans on this site believe there is a vast MWC conspiracy to deprive Jimmer Fedette of calls like the people on cougarboard believe.

I for one think he gets an appropriate amount of foul calls. He draws a lot of contact and goes to the line a lot.

[Jeff Lebowski]

Not only that there ranking should drop for letting us hang in the game. They play like this against any team in the top 100 in the country and they would lose.

It's a sad state of affairs when this is what passes for smack from our Ute friends.

[old_gregg]

what a poorly officiated game on both sides of the ball. yikes.

[Jeff Lebowski]

Losing sucks, but a satisfying consolation will be that lots of money will be lost by those who put money on BYU covering the spread. BWAHAHA! See what happens when you gamble?

I do think the past two games he hasn't got the calls he got in the first half of MWC play. I think it has to do with general sucky officiating (on both sides of the ball) than conspiracy. I think it is good for him to have to adjust his game to a variety of officiating.
