Pride Commeth before the fall.

When KW is gone, Utah will be about as successful in the future as Wazzu.

Mister P

8/22/19 3:15pm

Feels like

Backcountry

8/22/19 3:16pm

Current WSU or pre-Leach WSU?

NorCal_Coug

8/22/19 3:20pm

Pre. But they'll have good seasons from time to time.

Mister P

8/22/19 3:41pm

And by Wazzu, you mean WSU sans Leach.

kccougar

8/22/19 3:21pm

There will probably be ups and downs but I sure hope they drop off for a while

BYU Fan

8/22/19 3:22pm

Or Mike Price. Wazzu finished ranked in the Top 10 four times from 97 to 03.

Gentleman Stan

8/22/19 9:11pm

they said the same when Urban left

Garn

8/22/19 3:22pm

Who is a feasible option to take his spot when he is gone?

MikeDitka'sStache

8/22/19 3:31pm

Mike Leach

hxmCougar2000

8/22/19 3:32pm

That would kill me

MikeDitka'sStache

8/22/19 3:33pm

We could pay him more than WSU.

displacedute

8/22/19 3:52pm

Andersen would easily be on their short list.

mudpupper

8/22/19 3:53pm

I'm not sure.

displacedute

8/22/19 4:03pm

No. Andersen would not even make the short-list.

Et Lux in Domino

8/22/19 5:25pm

This story is true with more to it too.

Cougstreak

8/22/19 8:43pm

Jay Hill would be a great choice.

UnicycleUte

8/22/19 4:54pm

Hill's possible, but I think he's behind Scalley.

displacedute

8/22/19 4:58pm

I think you're right.

UnicycleUte

8/22/19 10:38pm

Gary Anderson will always be in the running too.

CrimsonCardinal

8/22/19 10:39pm

I think so too, but I would still take Hill.

UnicycleUte

8/22/19 10:53pm

Hill, Scalley, Anderson - Any of them would keep the program rising.

CrimsonCardinal

8/22/19 10:54pm

Is he member? Could BYU ever end up with this guy?

puntersarepeople

8/22/19 5:10pm

He is a member, but there was significant discussion about him after Detmer

displacedute

8/22/19 5:17pm

A "prominent" P5 school would not look the Weber for a HC

mudpupper

8/22/19 8:13pm

Ohio State hired sweater vest from Youngstown State

displacedute

8/22/19 8:49pm

Probably not, but I'm starting a grassroots movement for Hill.

UnicycleUte

8/22/19 10:42pm

They've got a good pipeline of coaches that could keep them relevant. Anderson

BlueForLife

8/22/19 8:22pm

Uh, Wazzu owns Utah and has a better history.

Gentleman Stan

8/22/19 9:10pm

I sure hope

puntersarepeople

8/22/19 3:16pm

Funny because other than scoreboard over BYU, they've accomplished MUCH less

Mr. Scoobs

8/22/19 3:21pm

There is a case to be made that the games are close because it means much more

DoseOfReality

8/22/19 4:48pm

If Alabama plays Troy every year and the game means more to Troy than Alabama,

DJROSS

8/22/19 5:19pm

Great example

300BLK

8/22/19 7:29pm

Please. Utah plays BYU media clips in their locker room all summer long.

Richbyu

8/22/19 10:42pm

Honest Question: If the Big-XII called Holmoe this afternoon, and invited BYU to join beginning with the 2020 season,

Et Lux in Domino

8/22/19 5:34pm

DJROSS

8/22/19 5:36pm

TCU made the move and has had similar success/highs as the did in the MW

Mr. Scoobs

8/22/19 5:48pm

Okay, but you didn't answer my question. My question was about BYU, not Utah or TCU.

Et Lux in Domino

8/22/19 6:29pm

I do not. But I don’t think many fans are happy with current state football and

Mr. Scoobs

8/22/19 6:33pm

They’ve finished the year ranked in the CFP Rankings 4 of the last 5 years.

BrobaFett

8/22/19 9:33pm

Bill knows the rivalry is competitive. He is just baiting Utah fans

NacoCoug

8/22/19 3:42pm

Yeah, he's really good at baiting them. You might even say he's a master...

Phasor

8/22/19 3:56pm

It's true. BYU's fall has been going on for years now.

CrimsonCardinal

8/22/19 4:49pm

But we actually won something of meaning y'all don't have.

AlphaCoug

8/22/19 6:19pm

If the only thing of significance is a national title...

DocPimp

8/22/19 6:42pm

How would you know what a title of any kind feels like?

BYU '80

8/22/19 7:27pm

How would you?

DocPimp

8/22/19 7:59pm

BYU has won tons of conference championships

BYU '80

8/22/19 8:20pm

Haha I thought we were talking about how national championships are all that

DocPimp

8/22/19 8:47pm

And they never will again. Keep living in the past.

CrimsonCardinal

8/22/19 10:12pm

But do they have a League of Indy Conference Champ?

DocPimp

8/23/19 9:59pm

Better to be old and have a title than be young and not have enjoyed a title

puntersarepeople

8/22/19 8:22pm

Uhhh....because we have one and I was alive then.

BleedCougarBlue2

8/22/19 9:43pm

A few more years, and most of BYU's fan base won't know anything about it.

CrimsonCardinal

8/22/19 10:14pm

Then I guess you won't care about not winning a Nat' Champ this year, right?

BleedCougarBlue2

8/22/19 9:42pm

Yeah of course, that just isn’t a realistic expection.

DocPimp

8/22/19 10:20pm

Having national writers fish over you is the only thing that will happen on that

puntersarepeople

8/22/19 10:23pm

Losing to Boise in the Vegas Bowl would be a postseason step up for BYU.

CrimsonCardinal

8/22/19 10:38pm

Vegas still >>>>> Idaho bowl. I think even BYU fans can agree to that.

DocPimp

8/22/19 11:44pm

Wake me up when Utah wins a National Championship in a major sport.

Richbyu

8/22/19 10:43pm

I guess lording over the fact that BYU won a NC 50 years ago

DocPimp

8/22/19 11:48pm

And Utah fans strike me as losers who create accounts in their rival' fan board.

Richbyu

8/23/19 7:31am

We have already discussed this topic ad nauseam.

DocPimp

8/23/19 10:03pm

Classy.

Cougstreak

8/23/19 8:12am

Sorry. My post really is directed just at the OP.

DocPimp

8/23/19 10:00pm

I'd still take our overall history over Utah's. We may not be where we want, but

BlueForLife

8/22/19 8:45pm

And we'll get back to our standard of winning. We're just in a slump right now.

AlphaCoug

8/23/19 8:46pm

That slump has a name: Independence

RE: I'd still take our overall history over Utah's. We may not be where we want, but

Et Lux in Domino

8/23/19 9:15pm

More stats

BlueForLife

8/23/19 11:19pm

You should totally count the NC. There's no asterisk whatsoever. It counts.

Et Lux in Domino

8/24/19 12:53am

See what you can do to make that happen, will you? Or at least let Holmoe know what to do.

Soupie

8/24/19 7:47am

Very well said. Independence is a huge catch 22.

BlueForLife

8/24/19 9:54am

Except don’t believe it was a knee-jerk reaction to Utah.

Soupie

8/24/19 12:56pm

I don't believe we were making plans. We were thinking about it. Only when Utah

BlueForLife

8/24/19 6:25pm

Thinking about it means millions of dollars for a state of the art broadcast building nearly completed

Soupie

8/24/19 7:26pm

I guess?

DocPimp

8/23/19 10:01pm

You have scoreboard on us about every year, but overall we've got you beat...

BlueForLife

8/23/19 11:22pm

Indisputable that those are all fantastic achievements, BYU has a prestigious

DocPimp

8/24/19 10:42pm

Get real. Any "arrogance" BYU had has been surpassed long, long ago by....

BleedCougarBlue2

8/22/19 9:41pm

Look. Utah is a better program right now.

Future_Tacos

8/22/19 5:44pm

Until you prove you can win, the rivalry is pretty much a gimme
