Yep — the headline was accurate but totally missed on the emotion, decisiveness, and impact of the game

I don't see how anyone with even a neutral perspective could watch that game and then go with such a bland-to-slightly-negative headline.

Maybe just my blue goggles getting the best of me :), but I honestly just don't see it.

Harper’s a great guy and loves BYU. Not sure about his seed being used for

Harper is a stud. I use to hit the old BYU chat boards on Facebook in 2007.

I don’t know, that seems like a fair description

Could also say, " BYU four missed 3's and a FT away from embarrassing defeat"

The point is that this is not some bias against BYU

Your point easily goes the other way…

I guess if someone is looking for something to offend them, they’ll find it

I just fundamentally disagree that this is somehow a dig at BYU

Dude using Isaiah as an argument in this debate is weird.

You seem to take offense at the assertion

If it was Utah the story was about, the headline would be about what an amazing comeback Utah made.

To a hammer everything looks like a nail, and to certain CBers everything looks like BYU being picked on

Umm…that’s exactly what they did. I was afraid of the letdown after Kansas.

Why would Mitch Harper be upset BYU won?

Because he didn’t write the headline some Ute intern did.

I can 100% guarantee that’s not true but you can tell yourself that.

Sounds about right. Major letdown game in the 1st .

FB teams do it all the time. Big win followed up by horrible loss is common.

lol anyone who seeks out KSL’s opinion on anything. What’s wrong

Swish

From the KSL perspective, BYU is looked as the "glass half empty". Utah is looked at as the "glass half full".

Not if you want to appeal to the BYU fan base.

Just for the record, I'm not "offended" by the headline — it just made me laugh 😃

I was watching the game and literally said out loud to my wife the words

That's totally fair — curious if you would have led with that in a story about the game, though

Bobber

Mar 3, 10:13pm

Yeah maybe. Coming off arguably one of the great wins in BYU history. A letdown

Especially considering the first half. Many on here turned it off because

Seems appropriate to me... would've been a huge letdown, but we avoided that
