  • A couple of thoughts...

    1. I was hoping that, in a closely contested, physical game, Chuck Abuououou would lend Luca Drca one of his vowels. I was disappointed.

    2. I was hoping that Luke Nevill would continue to use BYU games as the greatest evidence as to why, on the Chris Kaman - Ramon van de Hare scale, he is closer to Chris Kaman. I was disappointed.

    2a. On a related note, if you are an NBA team, and you are drafting a white guy over 7' tall after pick #10, what in the hell are you thinking? Really. Every white guy over 7' tall that should be in the NBA will be drafted prior to #10. After that, there's a reason, man. With some, it's general doofiness (Curtis Borchard). With others, it's incurable acne (The Koof). Anyway, the point is, don't draft Nevill. Look, I like him. He gets winded faster than Rosie O'Donnell at a celebrity softball game, but I like him. He's much better, and he's really become better, and he's also improved, and he's better. But he's not an NBA guy. He was guarded effectively by Mareceo Freaking Rutledge for about 12 minutes. I like him, but there's a reason. You have been notified.

    3. I was hoping that Tavernari would chuck it a little more. He's like the bizarro Nevill in his performances in rivalry games.

    4. I was hoping Lee McBeal would have graduated by now.

    5. I was hoping Chris Miles would continue to play like a clydesdale. He moves really well for a guy with his svelte girth. He looks silly when he tries to create from 17 feet, and he had an almost Drca-like move where he bounced, spun, jumped, and threw an underhand pass all at once, but I'm to the point where I can forgive him for kicking Andrew Bogut. I'm over it. Nate Cooper, on the other hand, should die of gonnorhea and roast in hell.

    6. I was hoping Luka Drca would pick the BYU game as the one to turn down the suck.

    7. I was hoping that Utah fans would stop making fun of Jimmer's name. It's not that "Jimmer" isn't worthy of a little hardy har har, it's that Fredette is ripe for ridicule but totally ignored. I mean, Fredette is the female version of Fred. It is what Mr. Flintstone would have named his second daughter. It will also make a great female name for Jimmer in his future alternative relationship. I have always said about Jimmer, "He would make the best lesbian of all of the current BYU Cougars." Past holders of that award include Matt Montague and Reno Navratilova Mahe. Plus, Jimmer can flat out ball.

    So anyway, a Saturday full of disappointments for me. Now the Utes have to win one in the ShPit for the outright title, which is about as likely as Luke Nevill eclipsing Dwight Howard in the NBA.

    I would like to add, however, that I would not be disappointed in the slightest by a shared title. That's just peachy for me. Plus, I'll always have the Sugar Bowl.

    Nice post senior. However, the weekend could be described so much more succintly with 4 little words, followed by three little exclamation points : Deseret First Duel Champions!!!

      Was that you who offered the invocation before Saturday's game? Although it incurred the wrath of the less hospitable fans, I think it opened the door for some great prayer smack down the road; by throwing in a shout out to the Utes, the dude bought a free pass for the next five supplicants to go nuts about BYU, Bronco, Max Hall's eyesight, whatever. Not to mention the commercial potential... "And please bless the refreshments of which we may partake, including the mouthwatering California Pizza Kitchen BBQ Chicken special currently on sale next to portal L."

        If we get even a share of the title this year it's a freebee. Our team isn't very good. I'm anxious to see Boylen's own boys.

          Amen. That's kinda what I was saying, but more to the actual point.

          I prefer the scenic route.

            So you are not worried about next year at all? Losing 4 senior starters and by far your best player?

              I will enjoy the ride watching all of our young stars develop and see what Boylen can do with them, anticipating a strong future.

                Thats will be his 3rd year, when is the future?

                Serious question which of Boylens recruits are currently contributors? I honestly dont know.

                  Two of them are redshirted. One of those is a center who's the highest rated Ute recruit since B. Johnsen. Two of them are currently role players in the 7-8 man rotation; Tavita and Cyphers. HIs best recruiting year is coming up. ESPN says Utah is no. 3 among mid-majors for 2009.

                    Actually none of Boylen's recruits are contributing to the team right now. Brown and Kepkay were Giacoletti recruits that Boylen held onto. This is not meant to be a criticism of Boylen at all. He is currently has a 7-man rotation that consists of 1 Majerus recruit and 6 Giacoletti recruits.

                      I was looking at the conference recruiting list today.

                      After getting over the fact that BYU is beating the hell out of us in Utah County and particularly at Lone Peak, I was intrigued by some of the players on the list. Looks like the top rated guys are transfers. Matt Read particularly seems to be the highest rated new player in the league and over all the class looks very nice.

                      What do people know about Read? Also, what is our Texas connection? Seems like that was very fertile ground this year.

                        It's a good thing Rose can't recruit.

                            If you have that page bookmarked, will you post it? I'd like to see where they have BYU.

                              Looking at that link, UNLV must be one and SDSU two. With New Mexico tied with Utah at 3 in terms of top mid-major classes.
