POLL: BYU or Utah?

cougarfanatic All-American

POLL: Kevin Young vs. Mark Pope

spoxjox

3:09pm

The "floor" team names are Golden Eagles or Grizzlies, if you can't top those...

Tygger

3:02pm

Great call on the U12.

777

3:05pm

I like the Golden Eagles for the history. Would be happy with that.

Eddie

3:07pm

Can't go "Golden Eagles" when there's already a "Golden Knights"? Non-starter

Kentucky= C- HaHa!

It's all a matter of perspective. Personally, I like this one better

BYUJoJo

3:03pm

Nice to have one that goes beyond, "hey, these former NBA players turned CBKB

dYrtbYkerYder

3:04pm

That's funny. Sports Illustrated rates KY as a C- hire and Pope as an A hire.

BYUMizzou

3:09pm

That one had a stupid reason for BYU's C- though.

dYrtbYkerYder

3:10pm

also true

BYUMizzou

3:11pm

BYU gets a C- (the lowest grade of anybody)
