Maybe do a little research about the reasons why Kyle

took the Utah job. Money played a part, but there were other factors as well. I have heard from a few people close to the situation that President Oaks told Kyle he could do a lot of good up at Utah in the lives of young men. I don’t know if that, in fact happened, though.

Wittingham owns us - I feel dead inside thinking about the Holy War

As I was reading that, I thought about this picture from earlier this morning.

Finally, BYU about to return the backup QB treatment to Utah

None of us can deny what you’re saying but this is a new year man

9 years- 8 games. You have no idea the physical toll that 8 straight losses can have on a person! 🙂

The talent gap might not be huge, but it exists. However, the "depth gap" is MASSIVE.

whitey1980

I agree.

Jdoc

Utah has a depth advantage. I don’t think it’s MASSIVE. And yes, if it was massive,

The Dude Abides

It's not massive, but if you compare the 1 and 2s Utah has the advantage overall

Never said that at all. Utah has been better. But luck has been with them.

All excuses. Bad calls were made against them also. Injuries happen to them too. Heck, we played them

The Dude Abides

BYU players going out in the 2nd half probably affected things, but...

DryFlyUte

With all due respect, players were not sat during that game because of the P12 championship.

The Dude Abides

4/18/19 1:32pm

Hey DryFlyUte - you can't give him a thumbs down. He said "With all due respect"

4/18/19 1:48pm

Fair enough - he has been respectful

DryFlyUte

I am using info from somebody who posts on UteHub

DryFlyUte

4/18/19 2:02pm

Did you watch the game? That’s one reason to not believe him. All the starters played the whole game.

The Dude Abides

4/18/19 2:11pm

I appreciate you being balanced towards Utah

DryFlyUte

4/18/19 2:30pm

That’s fair. No need to try to convince you. We’re good.

The Dude Abides

The same guys who had 'inside info' that Utah wouldn't accept 4* top DB recruit

No. It’s one guy. Utehub wasn’t around during the lake commitment.

Just a fan. It’s always funny to me how fans see games. We all see what we want to see.

You can tell this is true by how great Utah played in the championship game!

I know the story pretty well. Maybe his bishop gave him some counsel? But no “high ranking” church leader

President Oaks. Don’t know this for a fact, though.

Jdoc

4/18/19 1:54pm

Was this written somewhere? I’m pretty comfortable saying I’m in the know on the story and

The Dude Abides

I don’t believe it is written anywhere, but I heard from 3

Okay. Well I guess I’m one person who can tell you I haven’t heard that and probably would have if it happened.

I wasn’t there so I can’t say for sure. All I know is that these

Just saying, I’d pump the brakes before sharing that story as a fact.

The Dude Abides

4/18/19 2:28pm

Fair enough. I shouldn’t represent it as fact. I will revise the posts

Jdoc

Nah. No need to change any posts. That’s more work than a message board is worth. 🙂

Let's say this is true, it's such a conflict of interest.

The reason he chose Utah is because he went to the temple

Actually, the Holy War has always belonged to Utah with the exception being the first 20 years of Lavell's tenure.

Whittingham has owned the Holy War since he became a coach at Utah in 1993. Utah is 18-7 since.

Not being P5 doesn’t mean BYU is a worse program

Worse? Worse than what? Worse than its past self? No. Worse than USU? No. Worse than Utah? Absolutely.
