A few thoughts:
– BYU fans were as surprised about the football team as everyone else was. We were bad our first in the Big 12. We expected more of the same. So I don’t think you’re seeing arrogance there as much as elated shock.
– On basketball – We expected to be good, BUT even the most hardened Ute has to admit that hammering Kansas, winning…[Read more]

He’s a dufus. He knows BYU and Utah fans will click so that’s all he talks about. He’s not stoking the fire with Tech or Baylor. Stop clicking and listening.

My gosh. You’re taking all our favorite guys.

Micah Simon’s best highlight as a Cougar v Tennessee.

Ute fans with PAC 12 tattoos and car wraps 😉

There is a guy in my area in my neighborhood in Herriman with a Dodge Charger wrapped in a Ute logo and a massive PAC 12 logo. I always chuckle

It is weird to me that your attendance is so low. It’s not like you’ve been awful (like BYU in the late 90s when we had multiple seasons under 10 wins). It does feel like you need one amazing season to turn it around.

We filled the Marriott Center for 12 years in the WCC, spare me that argument.

And as far as NIL…your QB1 this year made more than any single BYU athlete has or does.

My overall thoughts on BYU/Utah and NIL: https://www.utehub.com/forums/topic/thoughts-on-nil-from-a-byu-fan-i-come-in-peace/

I agree. There’s a level of physicality in the Big 12 that simply isn’t allowed in the NBA. It’ll be interesting.

Well that’s a giant question regarding the Church and their operations at-large.

But, I would say…Jesus isn’t paying AJ Dybantsa. Boosters are.

You beat us last year. I was at Huntsman for that game.

BTW, Pres Randall came around and shook every BYU fan’s hand he could find. Good gesture.

I’m with you on the overall take about NIL. It’s ruining/changing college sports. But again, Ute fans loved it when Ken Garff showed up with new Dodge Rams.

And I will say, it is a bit disorienting for BYU fans who are used to our AD being SO cheap–like famously cheap–to suddenly have endless resources (and btw it isn’t just Ryan, it’s several…[Read more]

I’ve had that thought. My understanding is he can’t have much direct contact with prospects due to his ownership status, but IDK. All of this stuff for every school is done through 3rd parties anyway, so it may not matter.

Big 12 basketball is completely insane. It’s fun, but literally every game is losable in conference. I was convinced that we’d win like 2 conference games last year. Godspeed. Big 12 basketball is a different beast.
