They complain about the fouls against them when they were trying to foul Lovering and Asur. 4-12 in overtime I wish they wouldn’t have called any fouls. The fouls benefited them yet they blame the loss on the refs.

Great win. Smith coached a good game and we matched up athletically with the cougars. Might be the only other team in the Big 12 we match up with. Our bigs played physical and caused them problems. Hopefully this win will shut them up for a day or two. Haha

Your most athletic players give you the best chance to win. Play them and let them develop. If they make mistakes sit for a few minutes then put them back in.

I agree utesbyfive. I think after the last two years of dismal offense Whitt let Scalley get involved with the new offense. Scalley has talked before of wanting a spread offense. Nothing is a guarantee but a step in the right direction.

Whitt has earned the right to turn the ship around. I hope he is successful!!

I thought Whitt would retire regardless of record. Something has changed in his thinking to make him stay. He must think he has enough talent to turn things around and not start a rebuild. First time in years he comes in as an underdog which he seems to thrive on.

Take the most athletic players and let them play. Height doesn’t matter if you can’t guard the other players or get a rebound. Recruit athletes and develop them.

Recruit some athletes and develop them. Height means nothing if you’re not athletic. Big 12 is athletic and physical. Hard to score against those teams. Our ski team isn’t going to cut it.

2024 was a disaster. Picked to finish first and Whitt wanted to retire a winner. It seemed to motivate Sitake more after a losing season. We will soon find out.

The coaching staff (Whitt in particular) will be highly motivated. Hopefully that will transfer to the remaining players from last year that want redemption. A new simpler offense will help the new recruits and transfers. We go from front runners to underdogs.

ASU win would have been a good argument for 2 Big 12 teams next year. Now back to square one.

The Big12 top teams are middle of the pack SEC. Until the money and exposure gets on a level playing field nothing will change. Too much discrepancy in talent and depth. $$$ = talent. Imagine the NFL without caps and rules. Owner with the deepest pockets would win.

Yep Miami it’s southern BYU (the devil cougs) One good year and they start chirping. Good teams let their play do the talking.

Thanks Miami I almost had that video blocked out of my mind for good.

As Majerus once said “we look like the ski team”

Winning matters. We poached them when they were down now it’s their turn. They have an advantage with the LDS kids especially the RMs. We have an advantage of non LDS kids. Money can trump both.

Good post krindor. BYU must have a better political science program. He might have a future in politics. He can be bought and is all talk. He said all the right things to win the fans over at Utah then sells out to the rival.
