    I seem to do it well at Chevron stations. The others are not as user-friendly.

        Before Max Hall there was Lenny Gomes. In 1993, Gomes offered up one of the most infamous quotes in the history of the BYU vs. Utah rivalry. Speaking of the Utes, Gomes declared, “All those guys think that’s all there is to life...

                Just for comparisons sake here is Jimmers sophomore year vs Carlinos freshman year. The only reason I am using his sophomore year is because he didn't receive the minutes as a freshman I'm cherry picking stats to improve my argument.

                Jimmer:

                Minutes: 33/ FG% 48/ 3pt% 38/ PPG 16.2/ APG 2.57

                Carlino

                Minutes: 26.5/ FG% 55/ 3pt% 55/ PPG 17.3/ APG 4.75

                How about for fun we compare Andre Millers senior season:

                Miller

                Minutes: 33.1/FG% 49.1/ 3pt% 26.5/PPG 15.8/APG 5.2

                    That makes no sense. If I was cherry picking stats I would have included Andre Millers freshman or sophomore seasons but they were putrid so instead I used his senior season which shows that he still is not as good as Jimmer and Carlino as freshman or Sophomores.

                            Meh. Comparisons between a great college PG who graduated over 1O years ago with another great college PG who just graduated (didn't he?) have nothing to do with BYU's new status as PG U. It's kind of a weird discussion.

                                Disagree. It's significant that BYU has two point guards in a row that compare favorably to the best point guard of all time for a national, historical basketball power like Utah.

                                    Apparently he wasn't so great. But you are right. Fans who continually look back to the golden years of 10 years ago are pretty delusional, like the guy who shares the same mission stories to score dates even after he's become too old for the singles ward. Forever alone.

                                    Hell, as far as I'm concerned, the U has no basketball history. Glad to see you at least are on board with this.

                                        You guys need to get your stories coordinated.

                                        But let's get back on topic: Why are people going to think of BYU whenever the subject of point guards comes up?

                                                        I wonder that too. BYU fans make many claims about BYU teams, some more spurious than others. Why would a declaration of Point Guard U enrage ute fans?
