Francis still seems to carry a grudge. Maybe I’m wrong, but lighten up Francis!

I stopped by practice to chat with #Utes LB Francis Bernard about returning to BYU’s LaVell Edwards Stadium, not losing to “those guys”, a progressing LB core, being named to the leadership council + more

Yes acting like a yewt gets you yewted.

Nah, he's where he needs to be. Wish it had worked out at BYU.

Meh, it seems to work. It’s passed down from KW. Maybe we should try it

Because Kalani’s not a jerk.

Halfway house? That’s a bit extreme.

There are a few for whom it fits...

TailgateU

Extreme? By definition, “halfway” is the least extreme possible. Plus,

You didn't hear him talk about Ty after the games then.

Occasional instances of jerkiness don’t make a person a jerk. However,

Nogi-oshi

Sure. We don't have to be as extreme as TDS, but 'uu' would work.

The answers were fine. KWitt is keeping the TDS thing alive.

Benfica1

He doesnt have the bulk to stop the run.. hate to see him try to hit Ty'son

8/19/19 10:07pm

He's bigger than every single linebacker on our roster.

Richbyu

8/19/19 10:13pm

They were undersized last year too

SUAVO

8/19/19 10:16pm

He is 20+ lbs bigger than Ty'son. I don't think your concern is valid.

BlueFrog

8/19/19 10:15pm

He looks very undersized in that interview.

8/19/19 11:12pm

240 pounds is pretty huge at linebacker these days

Dr T-bone

8/19/19 10:23pm

He's not 240lbs.

8/19/19 11:13pm

And that's the difference between how Polys carry weight and everyone else. I'd

I’d give dang near anything to have him on the roster.

RalphWiggam

You’re joking right? He’s perfect size.

SlantRoute

8/19/19 10:49pm

Looks the part, sounds the part, the transformation is now complete, he's a Yewt.

CLCougar

His journey is complete

his answers are fine.... I hear he's in great shape... too bad he's not wearing blue next week...

8/19/19 10:31pm

Yeah I guess you’re right. I’d do the same.

8/19/19 10:40pm

Sorry, I don't think his answers were disrespectful. Whit blanking out BYU for TDS is Whit's problem.

8/19/19 10:21pm

Didn’t mean to insinuate that he was disrespectful.

theozfam

8/19/19 10:26pm

Seemed to me like he was just answering the probing questions from reporter.

8/19/19 10:27pm

I didn’t get that at all. Seemed just fine.

The Dude Abides

8/19/19 10:33pm

That sounds like penis envy.

8/19/19 11:05pm

Am I wrong or did he start to say BYU and corrected himself quickly?

He's gone from passionate BYU player to angry bitter Ute

Interesting pick to put on your team leadership council

Mike Honcho

8/19/19 10:37pm

Judgmental much?

8/19/19 10:52pm

Get a DUI, threaten to strangle a guy, leave the team instead of redshirt, act

Mike Honcho

8/19/19 11:07pm

So stuff that happened 2 years ago that’s he’s moved on from?

SlantRoute

8/19/19 11:14pm

Give it a rest. Takitaki handled his stuff like a man and CB loves him for it

Mike Honcho

8/19/19 11:22pm

Different people choose different heroes. Jamaal and Sione are guys I'll cheer for, FB not so much.

CLCougar

8/19/19 11:28pm

FB seems to be in a better place in life now. I can respect that.

Great. So he sins differently than you. And over 2 years ago.

I think the point is pretty obvious...not a great choice for leadership council.

How do you think Ute fans react if Nick Emery was chosen for leadership council

TDS is so pathetic, grow up Whitt. You disrespect

Cougar86

8/19/19 10:49pm

Someone should go change Whit's Wikipedia page to say TDS.

8/20/19 6:25am

Wasn’t Urban the one to start that Whitt’s just continued it

franklyvulgar

8/20/19 8:12am

Yep, he did, Whitt needs to stop, it’s a bad look IMO

Cougar86

8/20/19 8:30am

Urban didn't attend BYU. It kind of devalues KWhitt's early credentials IMO.

Devalues his credentials? Haha listen to yourself.

Not really, but it seems a little juvenile.
