won’t balance on the recruiting/talent front unless there are seismic shifts in college football in ways that benefit BYU — and I would hold my breath for that to happen for the same reason BYU has historically been left out.

It hurts to see Utah being so successful and with better athletes at almost

They’re at a different level.

Barely winning nearly every game against BYU is a "different level?" The good...

To me it's not about Utah but about BYU upgrading talent like at DE & OL

PortlandCoug

11/16/19 9:16pm

They graduate a ton. We’ll see next year about never catching up.

Turnpike Lane

Always next year with BYU fans

Backcountry

Well... what else is there?

rtNelson

Next year will probably be our best shot to beat them in a while

Byu_1988

I pretty much thought 2016 was our chance. Super-senior QB and RB.

This is how it felt to be a Utah fan in the 80's.

eddog

If by saying a P5 invite isn't on the horizon...

TrueBlue67

11/16/19 9:38pm

Exactly how it felt.

CrimsonCardinal

11/16/19 9:54pm

Not exactly. In terms of the rivalry yes. But Utahs inclusion in the Pac 12

Maybe I’m being a BYU homer, but all teams rise and fall.

JohnnyComeLately

BYU doesn't have a name brand anymore, don't fool yourself.

Find the ute board , it’s pathetic you’re here

I know. On paper Alabama is completely unbeatable. Never, ever going to change

I said Utah will ebb, and I'm not a Utah fan

superdoo

You lost me at I’m not a Utah fan

gmoney7

11/17/19 7:33am

Get off this board.

shammy

11/17/19 4:29am

BYU certainly still has a brand...it’s a major part of what gets under

The problem with this argument is all of those programs you named

Traveshamockery

11/17/19 1:00pm

You do realize my reply was about Utah right?

JohnnyComeLately

11/17/19 1:04pm

Yes, I did. But you compared Utah to other P5 teams.

Traveshamockery

11/17/19 1:13pm

Much too dramatic

Gustav

11/16/19 9:35pm

Haha! I'll have what you're drinking.

Well said.

11/16/19 9:50pm

No. You are being realistic. But the insecure doofuses on CB whos self worth is

Backcountry

11/16/19 10:09pm

We'll "never" compete with Utah again? Are you sure you're a BYU fan? SMH....

BleedCougarBlue2

11/16/19 10:21pm

They have won 13 out of the last 16 and 9 straight and the recruiting gap

Backcountry

11/16/19 10:27pm

Utah’s success has more to do with Kyle Whittingham than it does

Pelican

11/16/19 10:36pm

I mostly agree, but Kyle has built that program up to the point where I dont

Backcountry

11/16/19 10:48pm

Kyle isn’t the reason

SC-Zoobie

11/17/19 11:34am

Primarily because of Kyle

Backcountry

11/17/19 11:38am

I just don’t get this mentality.

JohnnyComeLately

11/16/19 10:38pm

You seem like a great dude. Dont be one of these CB idiots that does the stupid

Backcountry

11/16/19 10:50pm

“ it is unrealistic to think BYU will ever compete with them again.”

PJMort

11/16/19 11:43pm

It's only been the closest-scoring rivalry in CFB for a few straight decades ...

Gustav

11/17/19 10:45am

0-9

run26

11/17/19 10:45am

Mostly close games ruined by bad coaching and player decisions

Gustav

11/17/19 10:54am

Many of the same who complain about how we only won by 4 scores over ISU

JohnnyComeLately

11/17/19 11:00am

Well don't look at the score from today's UCLA game, then. I would call it a...

11/16/19 10:21pm

Ive been around long enough to hear BYU fans say the same thing after 2004 and

Backcountry

11/16/19 10:28pm

And...they were right.

Pelican

11/16/19 10:36pm

No. Just enjoy what we are. Don't get up in arms over their success.

IronPotato

11/16/19 10:34pm

It's basically what you have to do.

eysikal

11/16/19 10:40pm

It took me a while but I’ve finally reached this sentiment.

Traveshamockery

11/17/19 1:04pm

To me, it's not hard. If Whit had come to BYU, it'd have been different..

byujdmba

11/16/19 10:46pm

You have no idea of the restrictions/changes that are in place now vs then.

Cnation

11/17/19 2:55am

Enlighten me.

byujdmba

11/17/19 8:32am

Do you think Jim McMahon could get in and stay at BYU?

Cnation

11/17/19 10:18am

That's not an answer, it's a question.

byujdmba

11/17/19 10:42am

Answer the question.

Cnation

11/18/19 4:19am

You first.

byujdmba

11/18/19 8:40am

Point proven!

Cnation

11/18/19 8:56am

Kyle would struggle at BYU right now

SC-Zoobie

11/17/19 11:40am

I disagree. Every time a G5 and BYU beats a P5 team, it proves they can compete

byujdmba

11/17/19 12:13pm

There’s a reason he turned the job down..

Cnation

11/17/19 12:13pm

Little Brother syndrome. Who cares about the Utes except when we play them...

Jasbo

11/16/19 10:54pm

yes, over dramatic. USC has superior athletes to utah and BYU beat USC.

BYURider

11/16/19 11:01pm

You are not wrong.

UNHuskerCoug

11/16/19 11:09pm

They have some lower hurdles and have big money now

D.T. Survivor

11/16/19 11:20pm

Couldn't disagree more. Have you actually looked up their recruits vs ours?

Coug Dude

11/17/19 12:19am

Whittingham and staff are great talent recruiters/developers though.

SMITTY

11/17/19 11:31am

Wrong board.
