Utah cancelling series vs BYU thread

[Jeff Lebowski]

Even [twits] can be right now and then.

In some cases it is possible to be "technically right" and completely disingenuous at the same time.

Andrew Andrews with the flagrant foul late in OT on Kuzma, I'm curious to hear how Larry feels about Washington after the game.

Call reversed. Everything looks good for the Huskies return trip to SLC this year. And for the foreseeable future.

Just the opening they need to bolt from the PAC.

Brandon Taylor capped off a fantastic evening. Thank you Brandon.

If I were making the decision for BYU, any negotiation with Utah for restarting the series has to start with Utah visiting Provo in the first game of that series. And add in a hefty buyout clause. That has to happen before any game can be played at Utah or a neutral site. Unfortunately, I don't think the fake doctor on the hill has any intent of ever playing in Provo again. I don't think anything will be agreed to under the current cast of characters. It could easily be at least ten years before the two teams play again in the regular season.

Pretty sure Dave Rose said those exact things. That any series would start in Provo and that the buyout would be increased.

Seriously, I'll be angry if they make any deal that doesn't involve the very next game being played in Provo.

I remain disappointed that the game won't be played. The rivalry game is consistently one of the most interesting non-conference games on Utah's schedule. I'm not disappointed that BYU has lost one of the few quality opponents that will sign a home/home with them.

Dave Rose is taking the right stance, but that stance will ensure that the game isn't going to be played for a long time. I'd prefer the Utes take those terms, but they aren't going to.

I will miss kicking BYU's ass in basketball. It is a shame it won't be happening anytime soon. I guess I'll just have to enjoy beating BYU in football every year.

Georgetown and Maryland had the exact same issue from a series where one of them "owed" the other a home game. That finally ended this year and it was the first time they played a true home and home since the 1978-79 season.

Utah will play the football game in 2016 and then cancel the rest of that series also.

I wouldn't be surprised.

[Blueintheface]

Have I mentioned that Utes are bitches? If not, the Utes are a bunch of bitches.

Even with Kyle's new contract, I don't think he would pony up to buy that one out.
