The day we lose a short white kid to utah, and it creates an uproar, is a sad, sad day. It isn't that he is a can't miss kid, it is that there is no reason why BYU should be missing these kids. The PAC12 offers what we can't and there is enough LDS influence at the U that you can still have a great religious experience if that is important to you. BYU has its own brand, but it is dying. Too much mediocrity. Too many silly issues, whether it is Bronco's lack of PR, terrible coaching decision making, or even worse excuses that is adding up. Yes, other programs make those mistakes, but other programs have a conference to fall back on.
I will always be a Coug, but right now is a hard time to enjoy it. If we stay in this stay decline, we will become irrelevant.
