And it didn’t make BYU look better for being Gonzaga’s only loss.

It made it look like a complete anomaly. A slip up on Gonzaga’s part.

At media day, Kalani said he hopes Utah wins every game except the first one

Kalani is the bigger man.

Too classy. Wish he would invest in some block U urinal cakes

1, why would it bother you, or anyone. 2, why can't you see the value in that

Lip Gallagher

So why did you bash me saying Utah looks worse if they lose to BYU and then

DraperCoug22

I don't recall doing that or how it relates

Lip Gallagher

1. Never said it bothered me. 2. Just curious is all.

SlantRoute

If you thought of it and wanted to ask... it bothers you. 😉

Lip Gallagher

I’ve never heard any coach publicly wish their rival wins all 11 other games.

SlantRoute

6/23/19 10:45pm

What was the comment in response to? Was it provoked?

Lip Gallagher

6/23/19 10:49pm

The reporter asked him a question and that’s how he responded.

Recruiting--better for BYU for Utah to tank

Incentivize

6/23/19 11:04pm

Eh. I don't know how much evidence there is to support that.

Lip Gallagher

6/23/19 11:26pm

eh. Common sense. Recruits do care about winning. BYU and Utah do go head to

Incentivize

6/23/19 11:33pm

Sorry, it's just not as big of a factor as you think.

Lip Gallagher

6/24/19 12:51am

which part? Utah gets worse recruits, wins less and stinks worse? Or BYU will

Incentivize

6/24/19 8:29am

nope. Just purely assumption on your part. It doesn't do much

Lip Gallagher

6/24/19 10:50am

It would probably help if they were Rutgers bad

6/24/19 7:35am

I agree with this

kiyoshige

6/24/19 9:30am

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Utah's success does not improve our recruiting prospects.

OlanchoCoug

6/24/19 9:37am

Its roundabout reasoning for sure. Just a theory.

Huh?

Ya know, we recruit against them. Them

I can see the value in it to beat a 12-1 team, but I see way more value in

If Utah loses game 1 then wins all others, BYU looks better. Theoretically.

DraperCoug22

6/23/19 10:33pm

If Utah goes 12-1 and BYU goes 7-5 but beats Utah, doesn’t make BYU look better

SlantRoute

And it didn’t make BYU look better for being Gonzaga’s only loss.

SlantRoute

6/23/19 10:49pm

This is a joke, right? This can't possibly be a serious comment.

Sure it doeS. Even if your scenario

cougarfann888

It's all relative, and you're presenting a new scenario. Different conversation.

No. Whitt is only cordial to people with nice leather pants

6/23/19 10:35pm

Don't coaches think this way about every opponent??

nephicoug

6/23/19 11:19pm

It does not bother me at all, I like that he is honest about Utah

USMCdad

6/23/19 11:38pm

Even if he feels that way, I don't think he always needs to say it to the BYU

SaintGeorgeYFan

6/23/19 11:44pm

He’s likely not talking to us, he’s likely preparing for the day he returns

USMCdad

6/23/19 11:46pm

I definitely think that is true

vegas guey

6/24/19 1:30am

Then screw him. BYU deserves a coach who is fully committed to succeeding at

OlanchoCoug

6/24/19 9:06am

He won’t

6/24/19 11:32am

Not when it’s your rival and you recruit the same kids.

Traveshamockery

6/24/19 12:01am

Yes - it’s annoying.

antiyewt

6/24/19 6:52am

As a former coach at Utah, he has to be cordial. Imagine there uproar here if

6/24/19 7:22am

No it doesn't bother me and I could care less what KW says about BYU

RockyBalboa

6/24/19 7:34am

How very SEC of him to say that. This is typical SEC banter. It is a way to keep

DJROSS

6/24/19 7:35am

Yes it bothers me. I wish Kalani would just not talk about them

YIsForBrigham

6/24/19 7:53am

Kyle is a bit of a jerk. Kalani is not. That's all this really means.

Eddie

6/24/19 8:00am

That's right, KS treated Detmer with nothing but respect after losses.

coolblue

6/24/19 8:28am

Oh Geez

shakarocks

6/24/19 8:35am

Kyle's got some weird inferiority complex that comes out at times.

Eddie

6/24/19 8:50am

Except when it comes to BYU football.

No, next question.

Quite frankly, I think that deep love and respect is changing.

Eddie

6/24/19 2:15pm

It wouldn't bother me if he beat them. Just seems dumb when we keep losing.

Mr. Scoobs

6/24/19 11:24am

It worries me that he won’t change. Hasn’t learned?

Dr MoBYU

6/24/19 12:00pm

uh, won't change what

Lip Gallagher

6/24/19 1:12pm

Good for Kalani. He's a bigger man than most of us. I hope they lose out
