Why should anyone go out of their way to excuse or defend anything done by a part of their most hated rival?

I hate Utah just as much as anyone else on this board,

Dennis Nedry

There are literally no bad reasons to hate Utah.

I literally hate anyone who even lives in Utah. Could you imagine having to say

Board name does not check out

Agreed, it's dumb

So I have a different take....if a BYU coach had said what Scalley did...

This is true but we can let it go and let him move on. He is also welcome to

Because...

To let him move on? It seems that way to me.

Courtimedes

Both your post and OP can be true

vagabonder

1:35pm

In fact, what the Trib does and what is right feel far from being connected.

Courtimedes

1:39pm

Not true at all local and national writers, sports radio… discussed extensively

True, but that’s not Scalley’s fault. Somehow I am now standing up for a Ute

BYU-Laie

2:44pm

It definitely received national coverage…

Remember when the media thought a random fan said the same word at a BYU women’s

Don't you have a million lines to code?.......

It makes us look incredibly bad.

shakarocks

1:28pm

Remember when he came on to CB to apologize for something different? That guy

Iman23

1:30pm

I remember it well.

shakarocks

1:37pm

What most don’t know because I deleted his original apology post is that he included his phone number in that post.

Cougar Jazz Fan

1:45pm

Truetrue also sincerely apologized for his mistakes and will make up for them in any way he can. No jokes about him?

shimmy

1:59pm

That’s the same thing. Nice logic jump.

Cougar Jazz Fan

2:25pm

They both sincerely apologized.

shimmy

2:27pm

Wait, was it a mistake, or was it just banter?

Trinity

1:51pm

Shaka said white coaches call players the n word regularly. He obviously knows Scalley so it’s a personal blind spot so

shimmy

1:58pm

Shaka did not say that.

shakarocks

2:02pm

I mean you said this:

shimmy

2:07pm

I did

shakarocks

2:24pm

Then you didn’t answer my question. I know players say it to each other.

shimmy

2:26pm

Question?

shakarocks

2:31pm

RE: Question?

shimmy

2:37pm

Some do

shakarocks

3:09pm

Ahhhh, you're one of those....

shakarocks

2:00pm

So why did you call it a mistake? You obviously think it wasn’t and it’s ok.

Trinity

2:03pm

It's not ok.

shakarocks

2:09pm

Agree 100% with take, but believe it was incident more recent than 20 years ago

Bandersnatch

1:28pm

My bad--I guess I was mixing it up with his apology from 20 years ago

Dennis Nedry

1:47pm

20 years ago? It was 2013. SHAME ON THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH.

TCuz

Should have fired him rather than rewarding him with the "HC in eaiting" title.

foofcoug

1:32pm

It’s good to say he’s apologized and I forgive him. But don’t do what some here have and say it was OK.

spinner

1:34pm

Link to someone in this thread saying it was ok?

I guess TrueTrue should also benefit from the same treatment as he falls into that same demo...

foofcoug

1:44pm

That doesn’t say what you said

NYC and Japan

2:45pm

Yes it does

spinner

2:48pm

Keep trying. He does not write what you wrote. No one said it’s acceptable.

NYC and Japan

2:52pm

sorry, I didn’t realize you required a verbatim quote, and that multiple posts clearly conveying that was insufficient

spinner

3:06pm

He said it as recent as 5 years ago. But I agree. Using a word doesnt make you

chismoso

1:45pm

It doesn't not not make you one either.

foofcoug

1:50pm

I don’t care that he said something stupid but it highlights

WizeGuise

1:45pm

I dont know if he is racist. I do know he called a recruit the N word. Wonder if he got caught the first time he said it

shimmy

1:50pm

And it only became an issue because he was an idiot and accidentally texted it to the recruit and not to whom it was

foofcoug

1:58pm

According to his friend he definitely would have felt bad and apologized even if he didn’t get caught! Bad luck for him!

shimmy

2:09pm

Highly unlikely someone uses that word for the first and only time and doesn’t

cougfanz

2:11pm

He’s not. Please Stop it.

Dr MoBYU

3:16pm

You are correct. It’s a stupid jab. We need to treat others how we want to be treated

Dr MoBYU

3:15pm

How someone wants vs deserves to be treated are very different things.
