The Huntsman Meadows Massacre - BYU v. Utah 2011

I get that Utah played hard defensively but why isn't anyone, Ute fans that is, talking about Coach's unwillingness to press late in the game on defense and actually try to move with purpose offensively? I know it's been alluded to and even joked about by BYU fans but Coach K was literally playing not to win. How can you coach like that, especially on offense? No matter how bad your team is if you are down big in the second half why continue to use shot clock? Does it make your team feel any better to lose by 20 while taking a knee?

I am proud of the fact that the Running Utes continued to play hard the entire game. I understand there are some teams who quit when they fall far behind and then later use that as an excuse.

I know the players don't get to choose the game plan, but when down big (read the entire 2nd half), holding the ball every possession until there are 4 seconds left then chucking something up seemed a lot like quitting.

Unwillingness to press late in the game?

Didn't you see the last 19 seconds of the second half?

Yup, they pressed.

I did, and to be fair it was about a minute. Don't pile on. Remember: High road, DDD, high road.

Way to get the joke, McFlystripper.

Amanda Dickson is ashamed to be a ute:

Whew am I glad she's not a cougar.

[TripletDaddy]

that article is from 2008. She may no longer be ashamed. Or, perhaps she is ashamed for different reasons now?

I like to state the obvious. You will notice that about me. I am McFlystripper after Biff eats a fist.
