I’m definitely envious of their recent success. They have won some big time games and it must be fun to be a fan of a good team like that.

But I’d still rather be a Utah fan at this point because we are still solid in football and it feels like basketball could be making a big comeback.

Good for BYU and their fans. They’re finally tasting…[Read more]

Don’t forget Utah is 3rd in NCAA tournament appearances in the western US, behind only UCLA and Arizona. Nationally, we rank 20th.

I’m definitely wishing it on them. With all that arrogance, how can you not hope they lose every game?

At least the attempt was made

The bigger they are the harder they fall. Not wishing it on them, but the massive BYU pride, arrogance and ego is out of control and they bring upon themselves. They act entitled because of backing from their so-called billionaire donor or donors. Like I said, pride cometh before the fall

Glad we earned the win in January that is looking to be the most impressive (including Kansas) this season and that we had the home game first in the series. We likely don’t win that one in Provo and not sure we could have beaten them in Salt Lake last week. Have to credit Cougars for playing their best ball of the year right now. They possibly…[Read more]

Agreed. I am backing away from it more and more. I’ve blocked tons of BYU fans on the X platform. Just tired of them.

He started college in 2021, didn’t redshirt during any season, and because of that, he’s not eligible for any Covid-19 extension. It’s the same issue with a guy like Lawson Lovering in the MBB.

I am surprised by how optimistic many of you are about our D. Our linebackers should be fine. But, we have holes in all of the other positions IMO.

I certainly hope our offense is MUCH better. It would be hard to be worse.

If I had to predict, I would say we will win 6-8 games. This is an improvement from last year, but it is not where any…[Read more]

I’ve been going back and forth on X with some byu fans over your second point.

The Kevin Young “NBA development” myth is real. Egor has been a nonfactor this year and is sliding down draft boards. Catching doesn’t even play and by some accounts will transfer at the end of the season after falling completely out of any mock draft.

Keba is the…[Read more]

BYU’s basketball team has played great the last month. No one can deny that. However, they may be the highest-paid team in college basketball.

As far as basketball history goes:

Utah has been to four Final 4s – BYU has been to zero.
Utah has one national championship – BYU has zero.
As bad as Utah has been in basketball the last 15 years, Utah…[Read more]

Wasn’t expecting him to, but booo anyway.

I feel like I’ve heard a lot about the lack of talent on this team. But I feel like I saw RM take teams with less talent than this to the tournament, and win at least one game as he always did.

While I think Craig was a better coach than Larry, and certainly better than Boylen or Giac, he was just not good enough. We’ve all carped to some…[Read more]

Butterball Jones?

I don’t think the media is to blame here. Utah shuts them out of practice, only letting them see a few meaningless minutes, and coach/player interviews give them nothing tangible to work with. They’re forced to project optimism because that’s all they’re given.

That said, I agree the real issue is Whittingham’s handling of the QB position.…[Read more]

This is the first year since 2000 that I’ve missed a men’s bball conference tournament. Significant withdrawal. I love watching 4 games a day in the early rounds. The tourney being hosted in KC had a lot to do with it.

A bare cupboard post-Majerus and a bare cupboard today are very different. NIL money and transfer portal rules make a turnaround…[Read more]

I apologize to all for a poorly worded post. I changed the wording after I posted and reread. Thanks Narfute for the corrections. I’m not a Majerus hater by any means. The post was meant to look at how we got to this point in Utah basketball. I have been a faithful follower of Utah BB since my dad took me to games at the old Einar Nelson field h…[Read more]

I’m by no means a BYU apologist in any way, but we are exaggerating their NIL deal with Dybantsa.

Their donors are paying $3m to Dybantsa, not $8m or $7m noted above. Endorsement deals with Nike and Red Bull will pay him $5m next year.

Why is this an important detail?

1 – BYU’s coffers aren’t $7m to $8m deep for one player. Their buying power…[Read more]
