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

But then, off in the distance, a Knight approaches

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! 🙂

It's been pretty amazing what's had to happen for him to 'keep that promise'-

You make it sound like Utah’s performance had nothing to do with

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

whitey1980

4/18/19 1:36pm

I agree.

Jdoc

4/18/19 1:40pm

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

The Dude Abides

4/18/19 1:52pm

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

Cougar TD

4/18/19 2:51pm

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

Cougar76

4/18/19 1:40pm

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

The Dude Abides

4/18/19 1:22pm

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

DryFlyUte

4/18/19 1:27pm

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"

crack

4/18/19 1:48pm

Fair enough - he has been respectful

DryFlyUte

4/18/19 2:41pm

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

4/18/19 2:33pm

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

Cougar76

4/18/19 2:17pm

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

ironman1315

So arrogant and delusional.

Cougar76

4/18/19 1:41pm

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

The Dude Abides

4/18/19 1:45pm

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

Underrated reply. Almost all fans severely discount the role of randomness in

It's easy to forget that the U has only been relevant when KW was in the picture

Maybe do a little research about the reasons why Kyle

Out of curiosity, where did you read this?

The Dude Abides

4/18/19 1:34pm

I can’t recall. It’s been a long time. There are probably others

Jdoc

I don't need to research it young padowan, I lived through it. But your insight

NOCAL_YFAN

I really don’t care if you don’t believe me.

Jdoc

4/18/19 1:43pm

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

The Dude Abides

4/18/19 1:49pm

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

4/18/19 2:00pm

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

Jdoc

4/18/19 2:08pm

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

The Dude Abides

4/18/19 2:14pm

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

Jdoc

4/18/19 2:22pm

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

4/18/19 2:40pm

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

Not everything makes it into the paper.

Jdoc

4/18/19 2:10pm

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

TheWoodman

4/18/19 3:19pm

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

chinngiskhaan

4/18/19 3:36pm

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

Yes, that is one way to look at it, but going back before the modern era of

Lol! Modern Age. Hilarious. As long as it fits what you want

When BYU was an academy, all games played in SLC, and leather helmets? Cool.

Cougar76

4/18/19 1:55pm

Really, that was the point? Not the PAC invite?

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

I know a good psychologist you can see to help you get over it.

Didn't we have ZW last year? (vs. Utah w/o their starting QB and RB) It gives me no real pleasure to state that Utah

whitey1980

4/18/19 3:11pm

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

puntersarepeople

4/18/19 3:21pm

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

whitey1980

4/18/19 3:48pm

My point wasn't that we were better. It was that P5 status isn't the only reason

From your mouth to God's ears. Here's hoping Whit stays for many years to come.

It was a Bronco problem

And Crowton and Sitake. Although Crowton did get 1 of 4.

ochobeeguy

4/18/19 5:40pm

Crowton and Sitake haven’t had there struggles confined to the Utah game

puntersarepeople

4/18/19 6:46pm

Well, we need to get rid of Bronco and get someone who understands the Utah game

BeardedSpock

I think Sitake pulls it off this year
