I think we have to always keep the chip on our shoulders.

BigHouse Coug

Kirby does this. He claims disrespect when Georgia is only a 10 point favorite

88Coug

2:49pm

To be honest, it's what Kwhitt does...but he's ridiculously petty. But, ya, seems like the best competitors like Kobe

POLL: Should Saquon Barkley play in Week 18?

DKN

2:45pm

Beating the record in 17 games is meaningless, he should sit.

Baron

2:49pm

But he will likely break it with less carries.

allaboutthegainz

2:52pm

They don’t ask how, they ask how many

DKN

2:53pm

No. Because it will force the whole offensive line to play.

allaboutthegainz

2:53pm

Hurts will probably play to keep from going 3 weeks without playing.

DKN

The need for him to play ended when Minnesota beat GB yesterday

There are so many BYU/Utah ties...there are so many ways players and coaches can reach out to each other and be within

Preppy

Extremely hard to prove, but technically there shouldn't be any contact with a

Ghost of Peanut

2:51pm

Can you give an(y) example of BYU doing that? I mean in the NCAA not Ute sense

Brandoblueblood

2:53pm

Two types of Utah fans:

1984coug

2:42pm

The third is: BYU haters. Utah is the only choice that isn't affiliated with the Church, so they "cheer" for that team

Preppy

2:51pm

Type 1: Utes…nice guys who just cheer for the wrong team, like ‘MedUte’ & ‘TFL’.

Utah’s legal brain trust weighs in.

Abe Froman

2:39pm

“Tampering” is the Ute word for recruiting legitimately when BYU does it

Brandoblueblood

2:43pm

If by tampering you mean BYU beat you on the field, then I’ll agree. Tampered all over you.

BW84

2:43pm

'Tampered' is not what happens when you have tampons in the men's room.

Cougarclaw

If someone enters the portal and doesn't get an offer, can they come back?

rockhound

Yes. They can but BYU has to offer them again.

They try so hard to downplay BYU. Gotta sting so bad that whatever gap they created by going to the P12 was eviscerated

The lack of self awareness is comical

Blueto

“The coaches don’t care about it.” Someone forgot to tell KWhitt.

RalphWiggam

Someone forgot to tell Mr. It Was Stolen From Us! He seemed to care.

BlueKarma

Right. And who was the guy tipping over chairs after the press conference?

RalphWiggam

What does this have to do with Colorado?

Why work once there is sufficient money?
