PortlandCoug

He was done wrong by BYU back in his player days, I think we all agree there

Heath Squashwell

How was he "done wrong" by BYU? He was offered a scholarship and went

Why shouldn’t Burgess have made that Reid story public?

scootsy

Apr 14, 9:12am

Yeah that story deserved to be told.

JoeExotic

Apr 14, 9:12am

Fine. But Burgess was not “done wrong” because he chose to publicly call out

LV Mike

Apr 14, 9:27am

He called out BYU as an institution?

SJS

Apr 14, 9:28am

He took a private conversation and made it public to humiliate BYU.

LV Mike

Apr 14, 9:38am

He did exactly what he should have. That needed to be exposed.

JoeExotic

Apr 14, 9:43am

LV Mike

He called out Roger Reid, who overestimated the number of disappointed Mormons

ledfoot

Apr 14, 3:27pm

Yes. So Burgess was “wronged” by BYU because its coach privately whined to him

LV Mike

He was done wrong by Reid, who represented BYU as the HC

JoeExotic

Didn't see this before I posted, but it's almost word for word my thoughts

krindorr

Didn’t BYU basically fire Reid bc of that though? Which separates them.

Dr MoBYU

Apr 14, 2:54pm

No, Reid was fired for losing and not being able to recruit well, but he was

Threw and Through

Burgess was done wrong by Roger Reid, who was acting in his capacity as a representative of the University

krindorr

Apr 14, 11:44am

Don't recall Burgess repeating it

mindzeYe

We cannot all agree there. Roger

I think we can all agree that we don't agree on that - at all

Do Robbie and/or Randy have sons that could possibly be recruited to BYU?

If Utah had Men’s BBall fans, it would be reminiscent of KWhitt in Football in

I'm sorry, but making the NCAA tourney > winning in the NIT

jreid191

Apr 14, 9:20am

Not if you are one and done and your coach bails

Utefaninenemyland

I've thought about that a lot the past couple days.

"redemption for BYU"? I don't understand how BYU can be "redeemed" if it hires

LV Mike

Apr 14, 9:07am

I liked Roger Reid in general, but the Burgess thing was a huge embarrassment.

WVU_Prof

Uh. Madsen doesn't have years of track record. Neither did Pope.

That's a very inaccurate and poor response to my post

Cougrrrs Roll
