Doesn’t really change the discussion. The issue wasn’t whether it’s plausible a hold occurred, it was whether the call was ticky tack and if a foul would’ve even mattered. It’s a broader discussion about when and why officials should alter the raw outcome of a game. As some have pointed out similar fouls occur constantly, not a play goes by…[Read more]

Living right off the field.

I’m not even sure it really matters. Is anyone here expecting passable qb play right now? 3rd, 4th, 5th string… at that point nothings going well anyway.

The only real impact is that an actual person sustained an injury for this football season. That’s hard to justify

Huntley broke his collar bone, it was a season ender.

There are some terminally online people who actually replaced the images of their abusive father (texas and oklahoma) with us. But generally people don’t actually care that much. The anti Utah sentiment with subside because it’s not really based on reality

Nothing matters if you win, we can’t. A few years ago it started with bowl games, now in 2024 it’s games against Houston. The program can’t continue in the same direction as Whittingham any longer and the way forward is plain as day.

Oh my god I’m going to necro the fire whitt post again just for this

Both hockey and soccer have rules where the play doesn’t stop unless the foul creates an advantage for the offending team.

I’m all for common sense rules and these are just the types of things that can change.

Everybody kind of knows this. It’s just cool to shit on anyone blaming refs.

This Utah team doesn’t have it, last year’s didn’t have it. There’s no culture of winning and there’s no aptitude to back it up even if there were. We might win a game just out of randomness but there’s nothing left for anyone but someone who wants a shot at the draft to play for.

BYU thinks the rivalry is too nasty because they won and the people who are pissed are on the other side. You won’t see a fraction of that when it doesn’t go their way. The “too nasty” business an attempt at grabbing moral high ground when you don’t personally have anything to bitch about.

I also don’t think it’s become too nasty. The nastier and…[Read more]

“I also think it’s funny you guys are saying I’m a BYU fan as an insult or way to invalidate my opinion”

If you don’t understand how calling you a BYU fan IS an insult there’s not much we can do for you. Do you even remotely understand the matchup you’re talking about?

Didn’t the automatic bids begin in 2024?

I actually don’t mind being in the big 12, it has a lot of a good programs and I think it’s poised to be good watching due to the possibility for many teams in it to have breakout seasons. That’s really cool as a football fan. But there’s no wow factor in it due to there being no big names and the fanbase has no history with any of the teams (no…[Read more]

In semi recent history we’ve played a lot of blue bloods.

1. Alabama. self explanatory
2. Ohio State. Great game, we lost but not a single soul walked away thinking we didn’t deserve to be there. Probably one of the best games of that entire football season.
3. Penn state. Outclassed us
4. Texas. A mediocre Taxes manhandled an uninspired KW bowl…[Read more]

Ya you didn’t watch the game. Ohio state needed every yard to win that game. They fully deserved it but they needed to set records to win. I’ll take that loss any day.

Not in the least. Cougarboard wasn’t the first echo chamber. It’s best to just interact with the normal BYU fans and let the others rot in their spite, jealousy, and hate.

It’s weird how often BYU fans name themselves their first name online with an entire language full of possibilities. Matt, Dallin, you guys want to weigh in? I’m sure this is all just some coincidence though…

inferiority complexes from seeing Utah succeed over the last couple of decades

Yep. You must understand that it offends their value system. You haven’t seen the bottom of the barrel yet because there is none. They believe your misfortune is justice and their success is deserved. That believe that their misfortune is a mistake and that your…[Read more]
