What you saw on Saturday is Harlan partially saying the quiet part out loud.

Bingo. Those days of getting artificially inflated preseason rankings are over

Well they were artificially ranked to start this year...

Pac 12 hangover. That will be gone now. No one is going to defend Utah after

What about the best defense we will face all year?

It's not just their preseason crowd noise that's artificially inflated.

A fourteen year head start all erased in one season. They no longer have the advantage. It’s a great time to be a Coug.

9:10am

Actually we have a 1 year head start on the P4...it is only their first year 🙂

In before BigUte. Ackshually, they had a 12-year head start.

Harlan is probably really bad at making lemonade out of lemons

Totally and completely agree

He's still operating under the belief that we are partners.

The Board of Directors wants to be and thinks we should be partners

No he’s not. He knows exactly what’s up, but he’s a representative of Christ.

Yeah, there's no way Holmoe doesn't understand exactly who they've been

This looks like the narration script for a video clip showing preseason hype,

Exactly who I pictured, too.

Or Dennis Haysbert. Maybe we can get Adam to ask his brother to narrate for us.

Final straw: learning they are still BYU's little brother

It's amazing how a little delusion built up over time can derail your future

Mitty

A lot of truth there, but some things a little overstated, if you'll pardon me

12:14pm

I agree they had success. I'm just saying, it was fueled by using BYU as a

Some good insights - I feel like we learned some hard lessons this last dozen

If Utah is smart, they get rid of Harlan and kindly encourage Whittingham to

Thomas Hardy is vindicated again: "Character is Fate" - 12th grade English class

11:56am

Plus they used that advantage to try and marginalize BYU's program

fan_byu

12:00pm

The cherry on top is that they're now not only despised by the Big12

YOHONOMOTO

12:00pm

Absolutely 100% spot on.

Hawk Talons

12:04pm

Do you think they really expected a Big10 invite forcoming?

JuicyJam

12:10pm

Yes, they really think they will be in the conversation for next teams

Throw in an upcoming basketball season with BYU getting buzz and Utah not.

Wow, well said. Someone should make this post into a movie.

Nice post mac. Good job. I think you're on to something there!

Borg

12:40pm

pretty much sums it up. They're mad they're losing, & that'll happen more in B12

12:44pm

I was going to write a post like this one.

12:47pm

It was not just a lack of Big XII excitement, it was a general lack of respect

Feels to me like a last ditch effort to save face.

I still think they were probably going to announce Kyle's retirement

I'm convinced (they thought) there was something much bigger at stake which is

Still there is zero excuse for doing what he did. It's a huge embarrassment to the school and program.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Big 10 gave them some goals to hit and maybe then

Cougarite

Yeah I'd rather stay in the Big 12 than go to the B1G

SoggyBB

Kyle coming back is a risk. They play it off like it was a string of bad luck

YOHONOMOTO

3:02pm

I think Kyle only came back this yr because he thought he had a championship

Cougarite

Idk. What a brutal way to go out.

YOHONOMOTO

3:29pm

Very few go out on top. Most retire a shell of what they once were.
