They may take votes, but then they “compile” the rankings. They’re a joke. I’m not sure a single player on BYU would start at Utah this year, and I have no idea who plays at USU nor do I need to because they aren’t competitive. Utah State beat Utah once in the last 20 years.

I think they painted themselves in that corner. Unpaid media are ad delivery systems. Now the advertisers they can sell ad time to are businesses selling to BYU fans. Self fulfilling prophecy. But again, maybe there just aren’t a lot of Ute fans to sell to on daytime AM. I know how to check stats on websites but don’t know how to undercover for radio.

I would too. Usually it’s ten minutes buried in two hours of BYU practice reviews and BYU fan ego satiation, high school inside jokes among station staff, and shilling for male hand creme or truck dealerships or on site promos with free popcorn in Layton or Orem. It’s a chance to be the best x and o talk on Utah sports but it’s just too much noise…[Read more]

My big takeaway is that BYU fans listen to AM radio and Utah fans don’t. I also think BYU fans get more involved in sports talk because it links closer to tribal identity than my fandom of UofU sports, but that’s only a theory.

I don’t know how else to explain why 1280 etc. do what they do.

The 2014 and 2015 teams were among my favorites.

Have your upvote. You earned it.

Thanks!

Hey me too! Jk.

Alternate BYU and USU each year. Make them equal and pants them both. Done.

I think the play after that was the last play of the blockee’s career.

The point being that our TEs can block if they want to.

We used Ippolito as a blocking fullback a la Shawn Asiata last year. Hopefully we’ll have another. That is who we are.

That block was bad. Here, have an anecdote.

Thumbs up all around

Huntley hands off, and Falemaka hits his target. Those things alone would have sustained 6 of those dead drives. We are going to look so much better.

I believe Shaw released him. Isn’t he good to go? Conference something something?

He has turned down bigger jobs. His renewal included a desk job after retirement and other stuff. I don’t think he goes anywhere else.
