Getting a kick out of the BYU fans here saying Langi's running style is going to doom him.
I guess you guys didn't want him anyway...

Yeah, but you saw the link, right? Its not just byu fans, its ute coaches (well, A coach).Originally posted by Portland Ute View PostGetting a kick out of the BYU fans here saying Langi's running style is going to doom him.

I'm sure it was as much of a concern for BYU fans when BYU was recruiting him.... and USC... and UCLA....and Stanford....and Washington.Originally posted by falafel View Post
This must be a recent concern.
Also, I don't see Utah coaches here taking some sort of satisfaction in his poor running style. Just BYU fans. So I'm addressing them. The ones posting in this thread.Comment

Sure. Add Utah to the list of concerned parties.Originally posted by Portland Ute View Post
I'm sure he's loaded with talent -- that's why he had all those offers. But apparently he needs to work on his technique. The same can probably be said to one degree or another about every HS recruit.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Oh, sure, but how many times do you see "rival fans" making bets that those same HS recruits will have 2 concussions during the upcoming season?Originally posted by falafel View PostComment

Calm down dude. That's what rival fans do. Tear you down and build themselves up.Originally posted by Portland Ute View PostAin't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Dios mio, I hope Harvey has a long and successful career followed by a fruitful post football life. Mentioning that his current running style, which was not an issue due to his relatively exceptional athleticism in high school, is not suited well to college football should not be confused with me crucifying a Harvey Langi voodoo doll at night. This is a silly thing to be upset about, and it's nuts to assume that any reasonable BYU fan did not want him in Provo is year.Originally posted by Portland Ute View Post
It's not like this is an uncalled for character assassination. Langi's running style needs reform for him to be effective. Your coaching staff agrees with me. Shakerin was the same way, and LSU recognized that when they pulled his offer after watching him play at Alta.Te Occidere Possunt Sed Te Edere Non Possunt Nefas Est.Comment

You can also feel free to "calm down."Originally posted by falafel View Post
What do you expect fans to do when opposing fans tear down their team? Nod and say, "Absolutely..."???

I'm pretty calm. Your meltdowns are pretty well documented over several different boards. This is a very minor criticism, one that you could have let roll of your back. Instead you chose to "refuse to roll over." I like you PU and I don't want to see you get worked up over random posts that have nothing to do with a player's actual talent.Originally posted by Portland Ute View PostYou can also feel free to "calm down."

Bias is evident in media -- sports and non-sports -- everywhere. The idea that the local sports media is somehow not biased is hilarious.Col. Klink: "Staff officers are so clever."
