Not every coach needs to have a Utah connection. Branch out. That is how Urban was found.

Matt replied to the topic How is Oklahoma State not picked first? in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago
That 88 game was the first time I experienced the Utes beating BYU. I was torn a bit that game because I was a high school classmate of Scott Mitchell at Springville. That was a butt whooping. The next year BYU put 70 on the board.
Utah has had the P5 advantage for 12 years and the talent gap has been large. As long as Kalani is our head…[Read more]

That was the 2019 game. BYU got boat raced that entire game from the first drive that was a turnover. Zach Wilson was not good in 2019. He looked better as a freshman.
Yes, I know many od our fans on CB make some outraged excuses against yuu guys. The only games I felt we may have out played you was 2016 where we lost by a failed 2 pt…[Read more]

It wasn’t 10, it was 9. Just like byu’s 9 game streak from 79 to 87. Almost all blowouts though in the 80s.
Most of your 9 wins were close/could have gone either way. With the exception of 2011 and 2019. 2012, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18 were all right down to the wire. The 2018 was the one that got away from byu. Up 26 to 6 at the end of the third.

Good lord, what a ridiculous statement. BYU was terribke last year. I am saying OK state struggled with them as well as a shitty G5 team, stressing the fact they weren’t that good. I was inferring that Utah will be better than them.
Take a compliment that I was giving yiur team for eff’s sake.

Matt replied to the topic College Football Addiction's TJ Pittinger on Utah to the B1G in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago
There will never be a Power 2 that is limited to 40 teams. The P4 could break odd into their own division 1, but it will include ALL the current power teams, plus several more like Washington St and Oregon St, Boise St, SDSU, Memphis. I’d put the number around 80 teams.
If you make it too few teams, yiu are going to lose ratings. Even if I’m…[Read more]

Oklahoma State wasn’t that good last year. Sure, they had a decent record, but they lost to a bad G5 team at home early in the season.
BYU had them dead to rights until they got conservative in the second half and played not to lose, and still it took a byu fumble in double overtime for OK st to win.

Matt replied to the topic Question: Would Jay Hill take the USU job? in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago
Even if no NIL, a MW job is never better than a Big 12 job. Jay can succeed at BYU. He’s a much better coach than Kalani.

Just heard it’s Sean OC O’Connell. He is very good. Loved when him and Hans were on in the mornings at the old 1280.

Gonna miss Bill, even though he will still be calling games. He was a nice alternative to the zone when all they talk is the Jazz.

Matt replied to the topic Blake Anderson on leave, likely out at USU in the forum Football 4 months, 3 weeks ago
Wow, Bovee was the fb coach and athletic director at Weber earlier in his career. Sounds pretty bad. Hope they don’t take Hill from BYU, but I could see Jay being successful in logan. Maybe they bring back Matt Wells.

What is the issue with blake anderson? We know why Gary Anderson was let go. Could this be something similar?

Matt replied to the topic Utah picked 1st in Big 12 media poll in the forum Football 4 months, 3 weeks ago
As the resident zoob fan on here, that’s about where I expect BYU to finish. We play the top 5 teams, so brutal schedule. They need to win their home games if they have any chance of winning 4 conference games. Who knows, maybe I’ll be surprised like the basketball season when we were picked 13 and finished 5th.
Utah is definitely top 3, but…[Read more]

Matt replied to the topic Help an old guy out … in the forum Football 4 months, 4 weeks ago
You guys will only play 1 game on espn plus, and that is SUU. All the big 12 games will be on a major cable channel if not on big FOX or ABC.
ESPN plus is great. You can see just about any game from weber st, suu, Dixie if you are into following local schools.
Don’t miss your team play for 10 bucks a month.

Thank you. I thought it may have been something related to that.. Probably played a role in his USU firing.

Matt replied to the topic Help an old guy out … in the forum Football 4 months, 4 weeks ago
If you don’t get espn plus, you will miss 80% of your basketball games. When I first subscribed it was only $5.99, but they keep jacking up the rates.
Still, at 10.99 it’s worth it if you love your team. I just pause it after basketball season and then turn it back on when football starts.

As a zoob fan, I didn’t think I would like ESPN +, but it has been great. You will only have one football game on it, which will be your fcs opponent, SUU. All your other games will be on one of the following: ESPN ESPN 2, Fox, ABC, FS1.
BYU had a lot of basketball games on espn plus, but the quality was very good for the most part. ByU will…[Read more]

Matt replied to the topic EA rankings for toughest stadiums in the forum Football 4 months, 4 weeks ago
Unless you are in the SEC or big 10, stadiums that get refurbished are getting less capacity with nicer seating. Like ASU. No doubt Utah could fill a 60k seat stadium. I just don’t see it going that direction.
My team down south needs some serious stadium upgrades, per B12 brass. They put in a new grass field this year. A nice big screen in…[Read more]

I have heard that Gary Anderson has some major issues in his personal life, but I’ve never heard what the issues were. Anyone that know care to elaborate without getting too personal?
And yes, he was a fool to leave Wisconsin. I am glad to have him in a limited role at BYU. Kalani is so disorganized, he could use someone like Gary. Jay Hill has…[Read more]

Matt replied to the topic Utes to the BIG or SEC in the forum They So Poo Poo 5 months ago
I made the comment to emphasize the BYU overall fanbase is much larger than Utah’s. Just annoyed by the arrogance of your fan base when it came to being invited by another power conference and to not appreciate the life line thrown so they didn’t end up like WSU and OSU.
I am actually supportive of Utah being back in the same league as byu…[Read more]
