Classless Utes
Written by: steel_cougar
Just an observation….Kyle Whittingham has no class and no brains. I quote from the Salt Lake Tribune: ‘The coach doesn’t see much difference between 5-5 or BYU’s 6-4.
“It’s two teams playing that have had mediocre seasons,” Whittingham said. “That’s the bottom line. Six-and-four, 5-5. That’s mediocre on both counts.” ‘
Okay, whatever…..we win and we’re 7-4, after starting the season 1-3. I guess when you’ve been at the top the last couple of years like them, and lost four of your last five, you’re pretty pessimistic about 5-6 or 6-5. We, on the other hand, haven’t had much to be excited about at the end of the season the last few years. But now we’ve won five of the last six, and when you’ve climbed up all the way from the bottom, you’re much closer to the top, so you’re gonna be pretty dang excited about where you’re at.
Look what’s on the line if we win….locking up a bowl berth, a shot at an 8-4 season with this and the LV Bowl, and to top it all off, not only do we beat our hated #$%@^$ rivals to the north, but we shut them out of the postseason. Then they get a better idea of exactly how we’ve felt the last few years when they beat us. Go Cougars!
Excellent post. I guess Whittingham will have to learn one more thing in his inaugural coaching season. Keep your mouth as shut as much as possible the week of the BYU vs. Utah game. At least Crowton on the post game show last week was asked if he would mention the name of the Utes to which he responded that he would treat them with respect and call his next opponent the University of Utah. Thankfully on this site we don’t have to worry about that part and can mock Urban’s refusal to say BYU as much as we want(respectfully of course).
Now BYU just HAS TO win.
