Except don’t believe it was a knee-jerk reaction to Utah.

BYU was making plans to leave the MWC well before Utah went to PAC. Them leaving simply helped with determining the timing. The broadcast bldg was nearing completion with ground work laid for a couple outcomes.

When KW is gone, Utah will be about as successful in the future as Wazzu.

Feels like

Current WSU or pre-Leach WSU?

NorCal_Coug

8/22/19 3:20pm

Pre. But they'll have good seasons from time to time.

Mister P

8/22/19 3:41pm

And by Wazzu, you mean WSU sans Leach.

kccougar

8/22/19 3:21pm

There will probably be ups and downs but I sure hope they drop off for a while

BYU Fan

8/22/19 3:22pm

Or Mike Price. Wazzu finished ranked in the Top 10 four times from 97 to 03.

Gentleman Stan

8/22/19 9:11pm

they said the same when Urban left

Garn

8/22/19 3:22pm

Who is a feasible option to take his spot when he is gone?

MikeDitka'sStache

8/22/19 3:31pm

Mike Leach

hxmCougar2000

8/22/19 3:32pm

That would kill me

MikeDitka'sStache

8/22/19 3:33pm

We could pay him more than WSU.

displacedute

8/22/19 3:52pm

Andersen would easily be on their short list.

mudpupper

8/22/19 3:53pm

I'm not sure.

displacedute

8/22/19 4:03pm

No. Andersen would not even make the short-list.

Et Lux in Domino

8/22/19 5:25pm

This story is true with more to it too.

Cougstreak

8/22/19 8:43pm

Jay Hill would be a great choice.

UnicycleUte

8/22/19 4:54pm

Hill's possible, but I think he's behind Scalley.

displacedute

8/22/19 4:58pm

I think you're right.

UnicycleUte

8/22/19 10:38pm

Gary Anderson will always be in the running too.

CrimsonCardinal

8/22/19 10:39pm

I think so too, but I would still take Hill.

UnicycleUte

8/22/19 10:53pm

Hill, Scalley, Anderson - Any of them would keep the program rising.

CrimsonCardinal

8/22/19 10:54pm

Is he member? Could BYU ever end up with this guy?

puntersarepeople

8/22/19 5:10pm

He is a member, but there was significant discussion about him after Detmer

displacedute

8/22/19 5:17pm

A "prominent" P5 school would not look the Weber for a HC

mudpupper

8/22/19 8:13pm

Ohio State hired sweater vest from Youngstown State

displacedute

8/22/19 8:49pm

Probably not, but I'm starting a grassroots movement for Hill.

UnicycleUte

8/22/19 10:42pm

They've got a good pipeline of coaches that could keep them relevant. Anderson

BlueForLife

8/22/19 8:22pm

Uh, Wazzu owns Utah and has a better history.

Gentleman Stan

8/22/19 9:10pm

I sure hope

puntersarepeople

8/22/19 3:16pm

Funny because other than scoreboard over BYU, they've accomplished MUCH less

Mr. Scoobs

8/22/19 3:21pm

There is a case to be made that the games are close because it means much more

DoseOfReality

8/22/19 4:48pm

If Alabama plays Troy every year and the game means more to Troy than Alabama,

DJROSS

8/22/19 5:19pm

Great example

300BLK

8/22/19 7:29pm

Please. Utah plays BYU media clips in their locker room all summer long.

Richbyu

8/22/19 10:42pm

Honest Question: If the Big-XII called Holmoe this afternoon, and invited BYU to join beginning with the 2020 season,

DJROSS

8/22/19 5:36pm

TCU made the move and has had similar success/highs as the did in the MW

Mr. Scoobs

8/22/19 5:48pm

Okay, but you didn't answer my question. My question was about BYU, not Utah or TCU.

Et Lux in Domino

8/22/19 6:29pm

I do not. But I don’t think many fans are happy with current state football and

Mr. Scoobs

8/22/19 6:33pm

They’ve finished the year ranked in the CFP Rankings 4 of the last 5 years.

BrobaFett

8/22/19 9:33pm

Bill knows the rivalry is competitive. He is just baiting Utah fans

NacoCoug

8/22/19 3:42pm

Yeah, he's really good at baiting them. You might even say he's a master...

Phasor

8/22/19 3:56pm

It's true. BYU's fall has been going on for years now.

CrimsonCardinal

8/22/19 4:49pm

But we actually won something of meaning y'all don't have.

AlphaCoug

8/22/19 6:19pm

If the only thing of significance is a national title...

DocPimp

8/22/19 6:42pm

How would you know what a title of any kind feels like?

BYU '80

8/22/19 7:27pm

How would you?

DocPimp

8/22/19 7:59pm

BYU has won tons of conference championships

BYU '80

8/22/19 8:20pm

Haha I thought we were talking about how national championships are all that

DocPimp

8/22/19 8:47pm

And they never will again. Keep living in the past.

CrimsonCardinal

8/22/19 10:12pm

But do they have a League of Indy Conference Champ?

DocPimp

8/23/19 9:59pm

Better to be old and have a title than be young and not have enjoyed a title

puntersarepeople

8/22/19 8:22pm

Uhhh....because we have one and I was alive then.

BleedCougarBlue2

8/22/19 9:43pm

A few more years, and most of BYU's fan base won't know anything about it.

CrimsonCardinal

8/22/19 10:14pm

Then I guess you won't care about not winning a Nat' Champ this year, right?

BleedCougarBlue2

8/22/19 9:42pm

Yeah of course, that just isn’t a realistic expection.

DocPimp

8/22/19 10:20pm

Having national writers fish over you is the only thing that will happen on that

puntersarepeople

8/22/19 10:23pm

Losing to Boise in the Vegas Bowl would be a postseason step up for BYU.

CrimsonCardinal

8/22/19 10:38pm

Vegas still >>>>> Idaho bowl. I think even BYU fans can agree to that.

DocPimp

8/22/19 11:44pm

Wake me up when Utah wins a National Championship in a major sport.

Richbyu

8/22/19 10:43pm

I guess lording over the fact that BYU won a NC 50 years ago

DocPimp

8/22/19 11:48pm

And Utah fans strike me as losers who create accounts in their rival' fan board.

Richbyu

8/23/19 7:31am

We have already discussed this topic ad nauseam.

DocPimp

8/23/19 10:03pm

Classy.

Cougstreak

8/23/19 8:12am

Sorry. My post really is directed just at the OP.

DocPimp

8/23/19 10:00pm

I'd still take our overall history over Utah's. We may not be where we want, but

BlueForLife

8/22/19 8:45pm

And we'll get back to our standard of winning. We're just in a slump right now.

AlphaCoug

8/23/19 8:46pm

That slump has a name: Independence

More stats

BlueForLife

8/23/19 11:19pm

You should totally count the NC. There's no asterisk whatsoever. It counts.

Et Lux in Domino

8/24/19 12:53am

See what you can do to make that happen, will you? Or at least let Holmoe know what to do.

Soupie

8/24/19 7:47am

Very well said. Independence is a huge catch 22.

BlueForLife

8/24/19 9:54am

Except don’t believe it was a knee-jerk reaction to Utah.

Soupie

8/24/19 12:56pm

I don't believe we were making plans. We were thinking about it. Only when Utah

BlueForLife

8/24/19 6:25pm

Thinking about it means millions of dollars for a state of the art broadcast building nearly completed

Soupie

8/24/19 7:26pm

I guess?

DocPimp

8/23/19 10:01pm

You have scoreboard on us about every year, but overall we've got you beat...

BlueForLife

8/23/19 11:22pm

Indisputable that those are all fantastic achievements, BYU has a prestigious

DocPimp

8/24/19 10:42pm

Get real. Any "arrogance" BYU had has been surpassed long, long ago by....

BleedCougarBlue2

8/22/19 9:41pm

Look. Utah is a better program right now.

Future_Tacos

8/22/19 5:44pm

Until you prove you can win, the rivalry is pretty much a gimme
