Agree. It almost seems more professional not to mention BYU's name.

Maybe he signed an NDA where he is not allowed to reveal who their biggest rival is and who they think about the most.

It is almost more respectful to BYU's brand not to bring them up in Ute press conferences directly. Like, maybe he doesn't want to look like he's using BYU's name and brand to boost his own profile.

I have seen this in industry with certain well-known relationships that get alluded to obliquely.

Also, I love that his wife gives him crap about it. What's up with that?

It's dumb because they offered him the job after Crowton.

I will get “lam-baes-ted” but I wish he would have taken the job.

Honor Code

Sep 10, 11:38am

Did he ever want the BYU job, or did he use it to get better pay at the U?

Sep 10, 7:26pm

He was going to accept the job but the U counter-offered and he accepted that

Pretty sure he used it correctly, but have heard it both ways

Captain Stubing

Sep 10, 11:24am

jokes on him, he's being lambasted for saying lambaested

here's to hoping

Sep 10, 1:49pm

At least he acknowledged that BYU-UU is a rivalry game

Sep 10, 9:19am

Only because he's been forced to. He's still an idiot

mobius

Sep 10, 9:21am

I assumed when he mentioned the "guys down south" he was referring to USC.

cougarfan84

Sep 10, 9:23am

That's a good point, USC are UU's true rivals.

Sep 10, 9:25am

that would be "guys down by the coast" or for their other rivals

Avery

Sep 10, 9:28am

Colorado.

What a petty man he is.

Sep 10, 9:22am

I simply can’t respect someone who treats their Alma mater with such disrespect

You're assuming kw is going to the same place LaVell is in. 😉

ManicBlue

Football heaven?

Refugee

Sep 10, 11:50am

Come on - he just referred to BYU as the team down south.

ImaFBfan

Sep 10, 9:52am

Calling them their name isn’t a promotion

BYU '80

Sep 10, 10:32am

No, it is not. But, why do your guys worry about it so much?

ImaFBfan

Sep 10, 11:08am

I've heard him make derogatory comments to mock BYU and its ties to his faith.

Sep 10, 11:52am

But that wasn’t what I was responding to

BYU '80

Sep 10, 2:40pm

He constantly belittles BYU by not showing enough respect to even say the name.

here's to hoping

Sep 10, 2:03pm

Not this argument again. He may not say anything overtly against BYU but he has

AlexKnight

Sep 10, 5:53pm

He is playing to his crowd (Utah fans). It is for fun not horribly derogatory to us. Why be offended?

Cougstreak

Sep 10, 12:51pm

IIRC, it all started when LaVell didn't hire his dad back as a assistant coach after his stint with the Raiders.

ManicBlue

Sep 10, 9:25am

He had no trouble getting hired back at Utah.

Jeffacka

Sep 10, 9:52am

It was probably following his first stint in the NFL with the Rams.

ManicBlue

Sep 10, 10:08am

I don’t think it is that offensive. It has become equivalent to us saying USU is

Groym

Sep 10, 9:33am

Agree. It almost seems more professional not to mention BYU's name.

RoboKayne

Sep 10, 10:11am

That is a fan thing, but coming from your head coach? Would you see any of BYUs HCs say USU is in Ogden?

Sep 10, 10:32am

Except we aren’t BYU’s coach

BYU '80

Sep 10, 10:33am

Agreed. KW was self deprecating about it too...seemed almost friendly

MaximusMeridius

Sep 10, 10:46am

Yeah. He might be able to gin up true hatred when it's useful, but he might

RoboKayne

Sep 10, 11:21am

It’s clear he has pathological issues

stoils

Sep 10, 12:10pm

The key is that Twittingham thinks it’s offensive, so he does it.

Y'sAsterisk

Sep 10, 12:09pm

Oh my nobody cares if BYU trolls say USU is in Ogden

I think he just trolls you guys for fun now.

CrimsonCardinal

Its motivation to keep doing it when we act like we are UT and got horns-downed

KW shows once again he is an ungrateful, arrogant tool. BYU and Lavell set him

BleedCougarBlue2

Sep 10, 11:54am

Will you have an issue if Jay Hill refers to Utah as the "team up north"? Is it disrespectful to Utah?

Cougstreak

Sep 10, 12:52pm

He was being playful. Whit is a close friend of Sitake and he idolizes Lavell.

ALUF 1990

He and Kalani aren't close friends

If he really hated the vitriol, why wouldn't he show some class

MaxxPower

He is behind some of that vitriol and this adds to it.

When people ask where he did his undergrad, do you think he still says that?

momowagon

Sep 10, 4:34pm

He thinks he is so funny saying that to the point that he now pauses in press
