You guys are great. Do you remember your football teams from the 70s/80s?

Or do you have excuses for all those times you guys ran up the score or set records when you were way ahead of other teams?

I have no problem with the Yewts RUTS as long as it wasn't because the starters weren't in all game.

The Utes has a game?

Romex

What they did will go down in history

BigYfan

Comparing them to the US women, eh?

11/9/19 8:42am

Nah. Not a 90 point win. If it’s 40 or 50, whatever. But when you’re

I disagree, this isn’t a game with kids in Little League

Medute

11/9/19 8:48am

That is basically what they were playing. Worst D1 program and totally outmatches all the way around.

Turnpike Lane

Then why play the game at all?

Medute

11/9/19 8:53am

90+ point win dude. I mean come on.

Did BYU set the largest win margin in modern era in that time frame?

Turnpike Lane

11/9/19 9:01am

I wasn’t aware that there is a threshold for running up the score

Medute

11/9/19 9:04am

Avg score through all of the 70's and 80's was 31-19

BYUFam1

11/9/19 9:11am

Ooh, can we use average score to prove we didn’t RUTS?

Medute

11/9/19 9:43am

There certainly were times where RUTS seemed like it happened

BYUFam1

11/9/19 10:02am

Or bringing a player back in a game that was a blowout so he could set a record

Medute

11/9/19 10:42am

Interestingly enough that actually could have happened in our bowl game last yr

Some people just don’t think their own crap stinks

Medute

Did somebody say "West Concourse"?

If your coach can’t get more meaning out of practice than beating a crap team

idcougarfan

11/9/19 9:09am

I agree with you about playing your game as long as you’ve cleaned the bench out

Junior Deputy

11/9/19 9:15am

I get what you’re saying but, dude, 90 points. You can play your guys and

The Dude Abides

11/9/19 8:53am

This time of year coaches are trying to figure out what they have

Medute

11/9/19 8:55am

Okay man. You’re not getting anything valuable from a game like that. If the team you are playing

The Dude Abides

11/9/19 9:04am

Nothing wrong with having differing opinions on a subject

Medute

11/9/19 9:07am

Utes took 17 threes in the 2nd half.

BuckElk

11/9/19 8:59am

They obviously didn’t run down the clock. They scored 73 points in the half. 40 of which came in

The Dude Abides

11/9/19 9:06am

They weren't pedal to the medal

ReyOso

Medute

11/9/19 9:05am

I don’t think anyone is outraged. I know I’m not. I’ve said a couple times I’m the last

The Dude Abides

11/9/19 9:14am

Yeah, you accidentally can win by 90 points sometimes

BigYfan

11/9/19 11:38am

Of course you don't see anything wrong with it. You're a ute

Goliath

11/9/19 8:57am

Curiously, it turns out the utes have a history of RUTS on little league as well

Goliath

11/9/19 9:02am

I'm okay with it.. but only because it gives me one more reason to despise them.

unctoothman

11/9/19 8:59am

They painted a giant target on themselves by doing that...

UberDeek

11/9/19 8:34am

No they didn’t. It’s already forgotten by all involved. It was poor form but

The Dude Abides

11/9/19 8:37am

you're right... an opposing coach attempting to rile up his defense won't point

UberDeek

11/9/19 8:52am

Yeah, I’m sure PAC12 coaches are going to inspire their teams based on this game

Medute

11/9/19 8:57am

MVSU cares. They just got embarrassed in a way no team has in forever.

Turnpike Lane

11/9/19 9:07am

If they'd cared. . .

ReyOso

11/9/19 9:13am

Yep. It’s not going to mean anything to any coach. In fact, the first half is really all

The Dude Abides

11/9/19 9:19am

Some day. . .

ReyOso

11/9/19 9:26am

A couple years ago I saw Kentucky do the same thing Utah did and everyone forgot

KG123

11/9/19 8:38am

Except maybe Louisville Fans

ReyOso

11/9/19 8:59am

Lol. "REMEMBER MVSU!" Spoken by no Div-1 b-ball team ever.

superdoo

11/9/19 9:07am

All people here are saying is it is poor form. It’s the U posters defending it.

Turnpike Lane

11/9/19 9:12am

Agreed. I dont see anyone riled up by it at all.

The Dude Abides

11/9/19 9:20am

Well it was because their starters were in the game.

travelcoug

11/9/19 10:15am

I don't think that matches up with what I saw... fwiw
