He'll never say but I wonder how much Utahs reaction to BYU winning influenced Tanuvasa to transfer.

byuluvr On My Way

12:40pm

We were really hopeful when Gentry, Akana, and Tanuvasa all hit the portal

thewaterboy

12:40pm

The Ute fans are now getting Tanuvasas family involved…

4mack

12:37pm

Maybe he wanted to play for a kind, caring man

Huge Manatee

12:39pm

"Sent"

Mister P

12:39pm

I would expect nothing less. Ute fans just being themselves is wonderful for BYU.

Unibro

12:39pm

This is going to get ugly for utah fans

MajorZeus

12:39pm

What currency has sents? Also, did he just acknowledge that BYU is indeed their rival?

Malcolm Reynolds

12:40pm

Maybe he meant scents?

Maybe Kalani is the right guy for this new age of NIL/portal transfers. He isn't

mudpupper

12:36pm

Kalani's approach reminds me of the "Good to Great" business mentality...creating the flywheel effect.

Next years BYU team will be the most athletic team in BYU history. My prediction is we go 10-3 and have another awesome

HarlemCoug Intervention Needed

There is a small but not tiny group of fans who will not be satisfied until BYU

Polecat

Uh oh did anyone catch the hint on BYUSN today

Cooouuugs

12:35pm

I saw one or two Utes on X downplay Tanuvasa by calling out stats. That shows

anytime you have a defense like Utah did, and you lose starters from that defens

Interesting video on Spain using an area with very little water for farming. Seems like Utah and other states..

POLL: Who will have a worse season next year? (Honest opinions only)

Mister P

12:33pm

Unless Utah ceases to exist, it will always be Utah.

Baron

12:34pm

Kyle will have to keep coming back, hoping for a better year to go out on.

Brisco

12:38pm

Im not sure it will happen but BYU has a good case

UnoDoctor

I thought this gif of Kalani was appropriate for the occasion.

Blog: Shannon Sharpe Thought His TV Glitched on Parker Kingston's Punt Return Touchdown View

[Cougs Daily]

12:30pm

I love how he just runs around #31 who is half as fast and jogs behind him...lol

Cougarclaw

12:33pm

I rewound it and watched it again. #31 was not in the same universe athletically as Parker who in 5-7 yards made it so

kimdaddy35

12:34pm

I was dumbstruck by how fast Kingston was. Better/faster than Covey. PK to NFL?

The Glengary leads are for closers.

Kalani gets coffee....er um hot chocolate.

kimdaddy35

12:35pm

And the first person Kalani spoke with after the Alamo Bowl was Deion...

Duke Silver

Meanwhile, KW and his boss are berating officials.

Ray Shoesmith

12:38pm

The Ute takes on X are next level. I would like to express my appreciation for the entertainment

txblue All-American

I read his tweet as a joke. A light hearted way to say he is going to a rival.

Mister P

Your profile pic...

slappy

They really seem to love the phrase "chasing a bag".

Niiineteeen84

12:31pm

I love how unfair they think it is that they're small time compared to BYU

Belboz

12:33pm

Yep. They big-timed us for years. I got no sympathy

txblue

12:38pm

Tanuvasa: incredible!

YSMACK

12:27pm

+ the best LB corp in the B12

Blueto

12:28pm

It's possible our LBers next year will be the best BYU's ever had. And we've had some elite groups before.

HarlemCoug

12:31pm

Where did Bernard go?

Mister P

12:30pm

he aged out.

HarlemCoug

12:32pm

It was his 7th year at Utah. He ran out of eligibility. Signed Rising.

YSMACK

12:32pm

Spencer Fano was Utah's highest rated player in 2024

SV72 Sale

12:33pm

Don't count him out at BYU. There is still the spring portal.

CopperLix

12:35pm

Fanos would probably rather die than go to BYU.

Clegg, Ryan, Tanuvasa are the 3 I can think of...

HarlemCoug

12:33pm

Did we lose anyone to them?

Mister P

12:34pm

No.

HarlemCoug

12:38pm

It’s 3 to BYU

I'mBatman

12:36pm

Mangelson just sat down after the play

claw

12:23pm

Does he have another year of eligibility too?

Cooouuugs

Today, this GIF just needs it own thread.

DirtyWater

12:21pm

Was really nice to see Jack Kelly look fully healthy against CU. He seemed to be

rivercitycoug

12:19pm

Our linebackers are phenomenal.

pittsburghcoug

12:22pm

He looks and moves like a guided missile.

DeepCCoug

12:23pm

Is he for sure back next year?

Huge Manatee

12:24pm

Yes

pittsburghcoug

12:26pm

He has eligibility left, but did he announce for sure that he isn't going pro?

cwilke1

12:27pm

Tanuvasa tweets.

crazY

12:19pm

I'm glad he could still love BYU after they despitefully used his old team.

DirtyWater

12:20pm

Utes and non-ALUF are going to blow a gasket

MajorZeus

12:20pm

He is all class. I could profit from his example.

Sandstone Cougar

12:22pm

Could tell when he picked up trash his fans had thrown on the field postgame

fulano

12:24pm

That sounds exactly like Kalani Sitake. Love and learn FTW

Belboz

12:22pm

Oh man, utah fans aren't going to react well to that.

Mister P

12:22pm

Sounds like he's coming to exactly where he should always have been.

DeepCCoug

12:23pm

That is just perfect.

realtall

12:24pm

This will be good. I'm sure Utes will take that in the way he meant it and respond rationally...

byuluvr

12:25pm

Awesome. Especially considering Kalani's post-game Utah speech in the locker room.

IdahoCoug

12:25pm

Could take these three ways.

Cougarclaw

12:29pm

I think it's all 3. Sitake's "love and learn" atmosphere seems perfect for him

Belboz

12:31pm

I see this as a direct response to the way that Kalani approached the rivalry,

Pangare

12:34pm

Jake leads Marion by 2 feet instead of having to slow down

claw

12:19pm

Marion catches the ball that’s hits him in chest may have been a TD too.

mulletino

12:19pm

That ball was knocked down by the DB

puntersarepeople

12:20pm

It wasn't, it looked like it though

wildeone

12:21pm

Made much harder to catch by DB. Needed a better throw there for sure

fulano

12:26pm

I think he was thrown off because it looked like for a second that the defender

wildeone

12:21pm

point is, if he leads Marion properly, it's a sure six

mindzeYe

12:21pm

Blaming Marion for it is silly.

spugeddy24

12:22pm

Agreed. I thought the defender knocked it away at the last second. Either way

RalphWiggam

12:24pm

A 40 yard bomb to a target at full speed is a tiny bit harder than it looks

darkcoug

12:23pm

I love when people say CBers couldn’t do it so we can’t expect it of a college level athlete.

spugeddy24

12:24pm

If the average college QB could hit guys perfectly in stride 40+ yards down

Ghost of Peanut

12:29pm

Didn’t need to be perfectly in stride. Just not as behind as it was. And Jake has missed too many downfield passes this

spugeddy24

12:31pm

No way half of CB makes that throw better than Jake did. It was not perfect

fulano

12:27pm

Are there any quarterbacks at any level who are 100% accurate on those kinds of

SoCalCoug

12:24pm

No, which is precisely why the likes of Payton Manning have preached for years that the QB’s job is to get the ball in

Zach Morris

12:38pm

He has been pretty inaccurate all year throwing down field. He hit a couple guys

Duke Silver

12:24pm

BYU getting a $20 mil raise soon.

Longseason

12:18pm

Oh good, more Utah players. We need back-ups.

deliciousmocha

12:20pm

For so long, BYU and Utah couldn't poach each other b/c the transfer rules

DirtyWater

12:18pm

Also I recall KW was petty and didn't release people to certain schools earlier

Rhubarb

12:26pm

I like our running backs but I wouldn't mind a speed back

Archaea

12:17pm

We had one in Miles Davis but speed is the least important

I'mBatman

12:22pm

He also ran too erectly. Power and vision are important but if we

Archaea

12:25pm

I had hopes for Davis, but his vision was not great. More importantly, he didn't

LifeLongLakerFan

12:33pm

He was a converted wide receiver, and never got the hang of running back.

Archaea

12:34pm

KVN with a much deserved shout-out.

IdahoCoug All-American

12:17pm

11 and 1/2 sacks?!?! WOW!

DeepCCoug

12:20pm

incredible to do that as this point in his career after losing a roster spot.

Cougarclaw

12:31pm

Seems like KVN has always been the type to thrive in the right system.

Junior Deputy

12:36pm

Some TSA lady just shamed the daylights out of some dude for littering when going through security and I’m all for it.

spugeddy24 AOC #1 Fanboy

12:16pm

Littering is a great sign of a terrible person. Especially when a trash can is so close.

byuluvr

12:18pm

Dude acted like she was the crazy one and she lost it. She was mildly annoyed before and then she unloaded. It was great

spugeddy24

12:20pm

I don't recall any kudos from the team up north for us beating up on their RIVAL

Cougs'16

12:14pm

Upon some reflection, the only bowl sponsor brand that has truly, fully leveraged their sponsorship is Pop Tarts.

Sandstone Cougar Your true friend

12:14pm

The key is not taking themselves too seriously. It's kitchy and fun.

Mister P

12:16pm

Captain obvious here - Getting the caliber of DT as Tanuvasa by itself is

Rhubarb

12:14pm

He'll be downgraded to a 3 star by EOD

niqmadu

12:15pm

Utah fans already saying he’s overhyped

1984coug

12:16pm

Which is silly because he has proven himself as a top level P4 DT with a good

88Coug

12:18pm

He was a 3 star the whole time

Viva Campeche

I saw that but that evaluation is just flat wrong - dude might play in the NFL

Anyone know if Papa John’s byu50 deal works after the bowl win?

dday84

Yes, today only

CougarTwins

CougarCanuck76

Tanuvasa signing reminds me of this (in relation to Utah fan reaction)...

oryguncoug

A-Rod shouldn't be getting the type of heat he gets on this board

whoneedscorners?

12:11pm

Two 10-win seasons and one 11-win in the last five

Greg4BYU

12:18pm

When he stops consistently calling run in 3rd and long plays, the heat can cool.

Cosmos-beard-card

12:25pm

I've heard this type of complain against every.single.BYU.OC ever.

Cougarclaw

12:27pm

The riskiest down and distance for turnovers is 3rd and long

Why? Other teams do the same thing and for good reason.

We need more Ferrin love on this board. I did not realize he had set a record

Ycrazy

12:07pm

Ferrin should eat for free in Provo for the rest of his life

ldssdl

Considering his game winner vs Utah, he is already a legend in Provo

Jericho

Cougar Jazz Fan All-American

It should be the last game but I get the negative impact it could have

If BYU had one loss and then lost in the CCG, they still make the playoffs. Two good losses.

Only downside is fewer students because of Thanksgiving.

Fine, do it the week after, I don't care.

Mitty

During the conference championship?

chilawcoug

Upside is lots of fans travel to Utah for Thanksgiving. It will sell out.

It will sell out, but generally our post-Thanksgiving games are less attended
