BYU doesn't need that football game. It doesn't have problems getting good opponents in early September.Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

Twitter has been funny. K/Hill just handed BYU fans years worth of material and the reactions/spinning/angst from ute fans have been hilarious."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Totally agree with everything, except that GoMo had a good take on anything.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostGoMo had a good take on this thing in the SL Trib last night. He said that Coach Krybaby and Hill are messing with 100+ years of tradition over stupid reasons. You just don't do that.
Last year when Utah come down to the MC, the place was packed. Sellout crowd in a huge arena. BYU crowd was intense and lots of red in the audience. We had a fun chat with Hot Lunch before the game. We also unveiled the SeattleUte fat-head in the BYU student section (and SU was a great sport about it). Really fun, amazing atmosphere. This year, we went to the BYU/Utah game at the HC. Same thing: sellout crowd, fantastic intensity. Utah fans were good to us and in spite of the loss, it was a fun experience and we looked forward to doing it again. These two thin-skinned knuckleheads have destroyed that. A ton of fans on both sides will now miss out on a fantastic sports experience. That is a damn shame.
Sounds like a toxic environment.Originally posted by SCcoug View Post
Great post!Originally posted by jay santos View PostHolmoe sounded desperate in the interview during the game, poor guy. In the last ten years, Utah has lucked into the best situation they could dream for, and our situation has gotten worse and worse, and there's really nothing he can do about it. Sucks for us.

Just imagine the conversation as they concocted this silly plan.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostTwitter has been funny. K/Hill just handed BYU fans years worth of material and the reactions/spinning/angst from ute fans have been hilarious.Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

I assume this is hyperbole. BYU's situation has not gotten worse over the same time. I believe BYU's football situation has improved in the big picture. Maybe not access to NY6 games or playoff, but lets be real. These would be unlikely anyway. At worse the Basketball situation has stayed the same. The MWC was an incredible basketball league when BYU was in it but it is nothing special right now.Originally posted by jay santos View PostHolmoe sounded desperate in the interview during the game, poor guy.

I have nothing to add other than saying that if you're going to chicken out, you need a better excuse. And I've enjoyed following this train wreck.sigpic

Poorly written as usual, but his main point was right.

How many single sentence/sentence fragment paragraphs did he have in his column this time. Is he still striking that 1986 Miller's Outpost levis ad pose?Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostPoorly written as usual, but his main point was right. Blind squirrels, broken clocks, yada yada.Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

And when interviewed about that game just a few years ago, he called it "just a good, old-fashioned basketball game."Originally posted by Bo Diddley View PostThis just showed up in my facebook feed:
