Originally posted by NorthwestUteFan View PostI stated as much above. Utah needs AQ funds and increases from donors to come up with stuff like that while byu historically was able to shuffle the accounting books to get the church to pay for improvements. Church or State, in the end it all comes down to whose teat you suckle and how politically expedient the improvements are(whether at 350 N. State St or at 50 E. North Temple St the issue is similar).
And it isn't exclusively 'catching up to byu' so much as it is greatly improving the overall game viewing experience to meet what is becoming the norm nationwide.*Banned*

I didn't pay for the new sweater my wife bought over the weekend either.

Originally posted by NorthwestUteFan View PostAnd you are saying they don't own the new mall downtown. I didn't say 'tithing' paid for the improvements directly. But church support in other areas allows the athletic program to use incoming funds directly to pay for improvements.

Originally posted by NorthwestUteFan View PostI fully realize it will take an extraordinarily SPECIAL year to go 13-0 or even 10-3 in the league. Call me a masochist but I prefer the parity. I just hope the up/down cycles for both of our teams are somehow levelled a bit. The bipolar quality of play needs to end, and my hope is we will both be able to recruitLast edited by Flystripper; 10-03-2011, 02:07 PM.Dyslexics are teople poo...

Every team in the NBA has separate practice facilities and your same question could be asked of that. I've never understood it for basketball, truthfully. The arena is big enough to house training/therapy/meeting/film rooms, as well as offices, I would imagine. Maybe not.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

Originally posted by cougjunkie View PostActually the indoor practice field and new student athlete building were paid with donations. Not church funds. Donations from high level donors specifically for those two buildings.

Originally posted by NorthwestUteFan View PostNot that it matters to any of you, but I agree with Lavell. Despite the 1 loss to a decent Baylor team, 1983 was a stellar year. They beat UCLA, Bowling Green, Air Force, and Missouri, all of whom were ranked higher than everybody they beat in 1984.
1984 was almost an afterthought by comparison, as their best win was against Hawaii.
Those were some special years for the state as far as football goes.
Same with 1996. Was that really a "championship caliber" team? In other words, did BYU really have a shot at a MWC?
I only bring this up because in the Big 12, if BYU puts together a similar team like 1983-84 or 1996; then it will have a conference schedule that will allow the Cougars to earn a better shot at a MNC/BCS title game. But then it will have a much tougher schedule to navigate to get to that point. Same with Utah in the PAC-12. If the Utes go undefeated, then they will most likely win a national title. A one-loss Utah may still not be out of BCS game consideration.“Not the victory but the action. Not the goal but the game. In the deed the glory.”

Originally posted by WashingtonCoug View PostThe issue with the MC isn't for scheduled practices. The issue is when players want to come in early, stay late or on an off day. I don't care if other schools have a b-ball practice facility. If they don't, which I suspect most of the top tier programs do, let's be the trend setter. Anything that gives a recruiting edge, I'm all for. A dedicated practice facility would be a big deal if I was a recruit. That states emphatically that we are serious about basketball at our school.
Also every player can have his/her own hoop if desired. Stuff like this would seem to be huge in the mind of an 18 year-old.
PARABLE: It is like unto the kid who was the bishop's son and had the keys to the church. He would practice late at night and early in the morning when nobody was around. It probably didn't help his game much while he was in high school, but he certainly felt 'empowered' by having his own personal basketball gym.
The end.
