Utah rates higher because viewers want to watch Utah play reguardless of fan base. BYU is lower because nobody outside their fan base and church affiliation want to see them play. Point is their viewership is still an advantage with church affiliation.

2nd and 10 run up the gut out of the shotgun… I just don’t like his playcalling sometimes. It’s predictable. If there’s anything I look forward to when Morgan eventually takes over it’s hopefully having his own offensive philosophy and a new OC. JMO.

Nice post DB. Very well stated. Of the 17 million members worldwide they still have a number of viewers to bolster their tv audience especially if they are playing on the road against a team that has a large LDS population in that city. Tv viewing is still an advantage even if those team by church affiliation only watch a couple games a year.

I don’t understand any shade being thrown at Ludwig. When the players execute it works really well, and when they don’t it doesn’t. That is indicative of a execution problem, not a “play calling” problem. The difference in the 2nd quarter on was that the players were executing and making plays. The receivers were balling out for Isaac and it showed.

Bashing a program so similar to Utah is a weird flex. Utah has more conference championships, OSU has finished ranked in single digits and won some NY6 bowls. While you’re complaining about rather playing in a bigger game like USC, OSU could say the same about playing Texas and OU instead of Utah. None of us want to be in a non SEC/B1G conference,…[Read more]

I was raised Catholic in the Midwest. I was never a Notre Dame fan, in fact my parents went to another Catholic university that was local, so we were fans of that school. Notre Dame was just another team on the schedule, they had more affinity toward other schools that were run by the Jesuit priests (.e.g., St Louis, Creighton, Marquette,…[Read more]

“…but the fact the LDS religion is world wide gives them a much larger fan base.”
Actually, the fact is, they don’t. There’ve been some common misconceptions that’s been perpetuated by TSPP:
(1) That “LDS” = “ybu-p fan”
(2) That “worldwide religion” = “worldwide fan base”The last estimated “fan” count listed the Big 12’s fan base as…[Read more]

There is probably some truth to this, but I believe this “worldwide” following by members of the church is way overstated. My guess is that the large majority of members of the church might consider themselves BYU “fans”, but probably not loyal BYU sports followers, but are more “supporters” of BYU the institution, thus not really making them BYU…[Read more]

B12 is the best stop gap right now for the super conference beauty contest. From a fan access perspective for those of us living West of the Rockies, it’s a hell of a lot easier and more attractive traveling to the original P12 locations. From a talent show perspective, B12 is the optimal short term place to be as long as Utah contends for B12…[Read more]

He also said that he didn’t really know Coach Whittingham personally but the Utes are a team he had followed, even when the Utes were not in the same conference, because he likes to pay attention to teams that get the most out of their players — the ones that don’t get the high-end recruits like those teams that have 6-7 players drafted in the…[Read more]

Gundy is more social and shares more opinions and emotions. Whitt is all business and keeps everything internal. Both great coaches different styles.

Face it if BYU wasn’t a church owned school and depended on Provo and surrounding area for support they would still be independent or in the mountain west.
Yes they have their hard core base of students and locals but the fact the LDS religion is world wide gives them a much larger fan base.
BYU football has had no respect nationally since t…[Read more]

I get tired of the coach speak, but Coach is who he is and Gundy is who he is. They actually seem pretty similar in many ways, but Whit definitely holds more back. I’m not too concerned about it though.

I watched both coaches’ press conferences yesterday. I wish we’d get a little more out of our press conferences. Gundy’s press conference was 36 minutes long and included him fixing a bad compressor on an air conditioner, or something. Whitt’s interview as 16 minutes.
Then again, 20 more minutes of coach speak that isn’t super informative may…[Read more]
