BigBrotherUte Walk-on

as a critical point... Utah battles USC for more recruits than they do BYU... Why no mention of the most important thing in football: WINS?

Utah won two more games than BYU this year, and BYU almost beat them.

If BYU played Utah's schedule this season, they would have beaten North Dakota

SJSU was bad, but don't be so sure BYU would have taken care of business there.

we didn't "almost beat utah". that game was not nearly as close as the

We had the ball in the 4th quarter with the chance to WIN the game

Yeah BYU really threatened on that drive, lol.

'Hifo pick play" SMH...

How does that even change anything?

Mr Blue

12/7/17 9:43am

That's your opinion. Here's a fact: We had the ball. We score, we win.

PGVikingDad

Please. Any Ute in the room would have said something like:

reddead

We were a couple plays away from winning....

BYU lost. 7th in a row. The If games is stupid.

Turnpike Lane

and?

Mr Blue

Utah won two more games than BYU this year, and beat BYU.

coldcoug

12/7/17 9:46am

That makes no sense.

Mr Blue

12/7/17 9:49am

Because you're all yay that "we almost won."

coldcoug

12/7/17 9:53am

Actually I am not. Not at all. I am just saying there is not a cavernous

Mr Blue

12/7/17 9:55am

We lost 7 in a row to them. In one of their worst years they still beat us.

coldcoug

12/7/17 10:02am

So as long as BYU beats them, it is worth whatever sacrifice. That's it.

Mr Blue

12/7/17 10:13am

Seven in a row?

Cougtruth

12/7/17 10:07am

Yes, seven in a row.

coldcoug

12/7/17 12:56pm

That's true. It's a long streak. But every game but one was decided by one TD or less. Thewin/loss record is obviously

mvtoro

12/7/17 4:08pm

Yes it is. Don’t try to fool yourself.

Sweetness

12/7/17 4:50pm

Huh. So all this time when we thought it was Utah that was able to get more fired up and prepared for the rivalry game

mvtoro

12/8/17 12:41am

Head to head matchups prove my point well enough.

Sweetness

12/8/17 9:27am

You'd think that if the gap between the 2 teams wasn't so wide that Utah

BigBrotherUte

12/8/17 4:54pm

No. I just think that an overwhelming advantage wouldn't produce the closest games between any two teams in the country.

mvtoro

12/11/17 10:18pm

I don't know that the gap is overwhelming, but it is somewhat wide. Utah is

BigBrotherUte

12/12/17 1:06pm

Maybe this year they are closer to USC. Generally they aren't.

mvtoro

12/12/17 6:09pm

Utah has a lot more in common with USC the last 4 years than they do with BYU.

BigBrotherUte

12/13/17 12:50pm

In what possible ways do you think Utah is closer to being where USC is at vs

Mr Blue

12/12/17 9:41pm

Tell me the head to head record between Utah/USC and Utah/BYU the last 4 years..

BigBrotherUte

12/13/17 12:48pm

How is that even an answer to the question? Seriously.

Mr Blue

12/13/17 10:20pm

Let's see you make an argument that shows Utah is closer to BYU than USC. By

BigBrotherUte

12/13/17 11:14pm

1. Location/climate. 2. Recruiting pull 3. Central fan base 4. atmosphere.

Mr Blue

12/14/17 9:54am

Lol, you know you're reaching in a sports argument when you're using climate

BigBrotherUte

12/14/17 12:11pm

You obviously have never lived in a warm weather state. Look where they talent

Mr Blue

12/14/17 5:16pm

Look at Utah's last couple recruiting classes and tell me what State we're

BigBrotherUte

12/14/17 7:01pm

All schools get players from all areas, but the top talent prefer warm areas.

Mr Blue

12/15/17 9:32am

Even in that regard, Utah had 4 - 4* recruits from warm climates last year,

BigBrotherUte

12/15/17 10:33am

actually, 4 is much closer to 0 than it is to 16. But that would be using math

Mr Blue

12/15/17 11:36pm

Haha. I'll gladly take 25% of USC's 4* recruits compared to 0% of my rival. Nice

BigBrotherUte

12/16/17 5:31pm

You have no ability to use reason or logic.

Mr Blue

12/16/17 11:13pm

You left out that BYU had to play an extra game this year to get to 4 wins...

BigBrotherUte

12/7/17 10:32am

Oh pullllleazzzeee.

Worked out didn't it? How many yards on that last drive? Lol.

Dolph

12/7/17 12:47pm

BYU did not almost beat them. Utah shot themselves in the foot numerous times.

grosven

12/7/17 12:49pm

True. And I sure hope BYU aspires to be more than a PAC-12 cellar dweller

cougarnw

12/7/17 1:36pm

If BYU has played Wazzu, Washington, and Colorado the final three games

Sweetness

12/7/17 2:48pm

Twisting facts doesn't make it better. BYU lost to UMASS, ECU, UTAH ST, and 20-6

12/7/17 2:52pm

I honestly don't think you have any idea what the point of the the thread was

Mr Blue

12/7/17 4:41pm

Ha ha, I understand your confusion. Sorry, that was for the main post.

12/7/17 6:13pm

BYu was nowhere near as good as Utah this year

They also didn't get destroyed in their losses to good teams or lose to really

Almost doesn't count.

BlueForLife

12/7/17 7:46pm

And how is that a response to this post at all?

Mr Blue

12/8/17 3:18pm

You said we almost beat them as if it is a moral victory. Still a loss bro.

BlueForLife

12/8/17 5:38pm

It wasn't in any universe a way to claim there was a moral victory.
