Jim McMahon replied to the topic Honest question that I know I’m going to get murdered over in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
I think you’re probably right. I look at the video and as a clearly biased BYU fan, I see Jake look to Jojo and see him stumbling. He then looks to his next read and it’s over.
I also agree that even if Jojo had created separation here it likely would have been a tough throw with the safety over the top.
So from that standpoint, it was ver…[Read more]

Jim McMahon replied to the topic Honest question that I know I’m going to get murdered over in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
I’m sorry, that’s just not accurate. And I’m not trying to be argumentative. Watch the play again. Jake looks to his left and sees that Jojo isn’t open during the hold. Then he looks to the middle and gets sacked. Utah got pressure really fast, but there was a window to make a throw to Jojo on the left.
Again, I don’t know if he would have been…[Read more]

This looks like a pretty blatant hold that definitely affected Jojo’s route.
When you watch the play, Retzlaff initially looks to his left in Jojo’s direction and can obviously see that there is no separation. And then he looks to the middle of the field and the play is over and he gets sacked. I don’t know if he could have made the throw or wh…[Read more]

Jim McMahon replied to the topic I'm Not From Utah or LDS in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
I’ll take a stab. I think Jay Hill is an elite recruiter and being in the B12 (compared to formerly being Indy) is a huge plus. I also think our NIL has stepped up.
The real miracle to me was that we ever got any decent recruits with Tuiaki as our D coordinator. No offense, but we joke that Utah is where QB’s go to die. Under Tuiaki you cou…[Read more]

How dare you, sir. I followed the honor code to the T 😉

Jim McMahon replied to the topic Sorry for the idiotic BYU fans in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
I don’t know, that seems pretty tame to me considering the context. We just snatched a last second win to preserve our perfect season, against our rival. It was also the first win there since 2006.
I can understand BYU fans being excited and cheering for their team. If they were cussing in your face and being belligerent that would be s…[Read more]

Jim McMahon replied to the topic Sorry for the idiotic BYU fans in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
I had the exact same feeling when we won. I had been so sick to my stomach the entire game that I basically did not even enjoy it. It was just relief.
I’ve had crappy Utah fan exchanges too. Both fanbases have idiots.

Jim McMahon replied to the topic Sorry for the idiotic BYU fans in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
That’s a perfect response.
I am so torn on this rivalry. I know that you hate it with a passion based on your experience growing up.
But for me, it was always a great memory with my family going to the games, win or lose. I have mentioned that my brother-in-law played for the U and is a really good guy and we have a super respectful r…[Read more]

I can only imagine how last night felt. I won’t get into the controversial call.
I will say that your D played lights out and your stadium was electric. I knew this game was going to be a nail biter.
Sorry for idiotic fans running their mouths over a last second one point win. Ugh. We can be elated that we survived without being d-bags about it.

I say you ban the idiots. You guys have a respectful site and we have always had great dialogue.
Sorry for the morons.

“BYU thinks they are going to crush us”
No BYU fan I know thinks that. We are all super nervous for this game. We haven’t beaten Utah convincingly since 1996, and we haven’t won in RES since 2006. I’ll be happy if we win by one point. Utah’s defense will be the best D we play this year. And our D line has been pushed around a few times this…[Read more]

Jim McMahon replied to the topic Rivalry Smack in the forum Football 1 month, 2 weeks ago
As a BYU fan, I can actually laugh at when your yell leader beat up our fan who was running his mouth. That was pretty funny and I would have loved that as a Utah fan. Jake Heaps tripping all over himself and giving up 7 points on the first play of the game was also hilarious looking back on it, despite how bad it hurt at the time.
This one is…[Read more]

Jim McMahon replied to the topic Favorite and least favorite rivalry moments? in the forum Football 1 month, 2 weeks ago
So painful as a BYU fan. Just look at all those wins in the 2010’s. Ouch. We were close in many of them, but could never get over the hurdle. So many brutal losses.
Thanks God for 2021 haha. 10 in a row would have done me in.

Jim McMahon replied to the topic Favorite and least favorite rivalry moments? in the forum Football 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Classy post about your friend in 2006. That’s awesome. That is my favorite memory and why this rivalry game means so much to me. I remember watching that game at my brother’s house and all of our family was there. It felt very much like 2005 and that we were headed for a similar outcome. Then that ball hung in the air and when Harline caught it,…[Read more]

Jim McMahon replied to the topic Thoughts on NIL from a BYU fan (I come in peace) in the forum Football 1 month, 3 weeks ago
It’s a valid concern.
However, if there are several uber wealthy LDS families that are bankrolling this, then that’s their choice. I would get your argument it if it were the institution of BYU or the LDS church using tithing money or something. But that’s not the case here. You have several LDS families who have probably already paid millions in…[Read more]

In the words of Michael Scott: “Why are you the way that you are?”
Don’t be an idiot. Don’t come on their board and talk like a ten year old. You’re embarrassing our fanbase and you just sound dumb.
Sorry, Utehub. He’s an idiot.
And real BYU fans aren’t talking smack because we know no matter how good either team is, this game is ALWAYS clo…[Read more]

Jim McMahon replied to the topic BYU-p vs okie state in the forum They So Poo Poo 2 months ago
No way BYU goes undefeated. And if we are fortunate and enough to make it to the conference title game, I bet we lose to Iowa State.
But IF (and that’s a big if because there is a lot of football left) we somehow make it to the playoff and get blasted… who cares. Because like you said, based on preseason expectations, we are playing with hou…[Read more]

If you are a fellow BYU fan, you’re an idiot. Don’t come to a rival message board and talk trash when they’re venting on their own board. We hate that on CB, so don’t do the same.
Just delete your account.

Jim McMahon replied to the topic I just want to give Tony you all on here a ton of props in the forum Football 2 months, 4 weeks ago
Go to Utefan.net and see the crap Ute fans talk about BYU and our religion and how we’re all hypocrites.
CB has a lot of idiots because it has a lot of traffic. This site is highly curated and different. CB is more similar to Utefans with more idiots on both sites IMO.
