And what the hell is this crap about a lack of remorse. There was a formal apology from Nick Emery, issued through the school. What on earth did he want?

Are you being honest or just snarky? I repeat again, that I think Krystkowiak is stupid to be pissed off. However, Britton Johnsen explained his perspective on it during a Jazz game.

Britton stated that while he likes and respects Dave Rose, Rose and the BYU bench failed to control Emery immediately after the punch. Emery was allowed to disrespectfully yell at Krystkowiak and point at him and tell him to sit down. Disrespecting a college coach wasn't tolerated when Britton played.

Britton then mentioned that if Majerus ever found out that he disrespected an opposing coach or visiting player, he would have been forced to go to opponents locker room immediately after the game and apologize in person. He mentioned that several Utah players he played with had to do this and the next week of practice for those guys was complete hell they were immediately in Ricks dog house.

Incredible. And all this time I never really though Krystkowiak was such a Wuss. It was all just mocking for such a lame excuse. Box Outs? No apology (except one in the line by Rose and one issued by Emery through the school)?

[Jeff Lebowski]

Funk, just stop. You are embarrassing yourself.

[Jeff Lebowski]

Well, if the series is going to end, this is perfect. Coach K just handed BYU fans a gift that will keep on giving for years to come.

[MartyFunkhouser]

Funk, just stop. You are embarrassing yourself.

Explain how I'm embarrassing myself? I'm just passing on Britton Johnsen's perspective. Did you see where I've repeatedly said that I think that Krystkowiak is being stupid?

[SCcoug]

Remind me again, how many games Taylor missed?

Now we're mad about Emery yelling? Does it make you mad when 80K yells at the opposing players? Because that's what he does.

He came within "inches" of being out for a week. Just ask Coach Kry.

[Shaka]

Did he really call it an unprovoked attack at the presser or did I hear that wrong?

If so what a load of crap. Taylor was very chippy during that game.

How many times do I have to say this? Would it help if I yelled it?

I THINK THIS DECISION IS STUPID. I DON'T SUPPORT IT. I THINK THE REASONING IS FUCKING STUPID. I DON'T THINK EMERY NEEDED TO APOLOGIZE. I THINK UTAH SHOULD KEEP PLAYING BYU.

All is was doing was passing on Britton Johnsen's perspective on the situation. I thought it was interesting and maybe explained how Krystkowiak arrived at his stupid decision, which then Hill manipulated to get what he wanted.

I don't get why Utah doesn't just tell the truth and be transparent about their motivation. These types of comments are going to invite all types of scrutiny of their players and lead to who know how much nonsense from the press about every physical play their players are involved in. Why expose yourself and your players to wasting so much time on such a stupid subject that dumb people love?

Attempting to package your intent with an appeal to moral highground is just dumb, IMO.

The matter of fact is that there is nothing wrong with their intent. It is Chris Hill's job to do what is best for Utah and he should explain it in those terms. It is clearly dickheadish and arrogant but and I would think most Utah fans would want to play BYU, but the reality is he doesn't need BYU so just state it like it is instead of injecting a dose of viagara into the off the field rivalry that is re-injected each time a Ute player does something emotional, stupid or can be referenced as dirty.

Can someone explain why he is taking this approach then just being done with it?

Saying that you think its dumb to cancel the rivalry and then agreeing with Special K on his reasoning, shows that you are dumb.

If so what a load of crap. Taylor was very chippy during that game.

Unprovoked, he talked to Brandon and Brandon said he did nothing.
