Aren't you guys putting the cart before the horsey?

RE: Aren't you guys putting the cart before the horsey?

CougarGuy84

3:08pm

I heard that Ryan Smith and Pope were

SageOwl

3:05pm

I know that it is not currently true.

brj8

3:06pm

Thanks anyway, my question did not involve, ‘current’.

SageOwl

3:08pm

Ish

palangi

3:07pm

Yes, when Pope first moved back to Provo. They removed the gate between their yards to give their kids more space.

3:07pm

I wore my BYU tie to the Temple this morning, as I pulled in to park, Sports

Y'sWoody

3:03pm

Excited for Bronco? New assistant coach to Young, in charge of defense?

Les IsMore

3:05pm

This helped Bronco’s unbelief.

Q-grr

3:06pm

He’s excited for Bronco because of the KY hire?

3:06pm

BYU wants to continue the NBA style of basketball in the BIG 12

First-n-10

3:03pm

Now we have to wait to see who is on his staff and what players are coming in.

Archaea

3:04pm

That coach was Bill Self of KU...he should know what he's talking about

3:06pm

Luis Enrique...

shoganai

3:02pm

When is the Kevin Young press conference?

3:02pm

From what I can tell he will be with the Suns almost full-time while they are in the playoffs

jvr7

3:03pm

Whoosh Kevin!!!!

Q-grr

3:05pm

After Phoenix gets bounced from the playoffs. Pray for an early exit.

John Doe

3:05pm

Pope to KY, How Unfortunate. We’ll see. KY to BYU, How Fortunate. INDEED!!

Q-grr

3:01pm

Not bad to get a POTD for your first and only post to CB. Nice work blue22royal.

Chandler is not a program changer. Very good HS player, but BYU needs 2-3 dudes

Thrill

3:00pm

I do not know why we act like this. BYU is not in a position to lose highly touted recruits, program changer or not

Baron

3:02pm

Amen. I’d say a top 5 recruit ever could be a program changer. Big loss

insanobueno

3:06pm

I’m not saying I wouldn’t love him on the team, but some are acting like it’s

Thrill

3:07pm

Get old and stay old. I still want him but if his goal is 1 and done it’s

palangi

And to think I almost spent minimum $300 to go to that Barca vs PSG game. Dodged

babycarrot

3:00pm

Can we limit to a 24 hour all the “KY” jelly jokes/innuendo?Get it out of system

SwanSong

2:59pm

Let's be honest. It's a slippery slope.

jacobugath

3:01pm

Great idea. Kind of like telling someone not to "look over there." Never works

Bob Vance

3:02pm

We can call it “KY Purge Day’ It would reduce all the friction

SwanSong

3:05pm

Too many married men on this board for that request.

Oh I thought it was all the teenagers with AP undies making the KY jokes

what do you want to use it for?

Mainly for travel to Europe, but probably for use at home as well.

KY specializes in offense

mjmill All-American

2:56pm

I expect us to score 116 ppg too!

CougarGuy84

2:57pm

or 97 ppg (adjusted for the length of college games) 🙂

ManicBlue

3:04pm

He did have Devin Booker and Kevin Durant, two of the best scorers in the league

SoBlueitHurts

2:58pm

Gotta have the horses and also the system for them to thrive

mjmill

3:00pm

What pope did with regular horses was amazing. I really hope Young gets some

SoBlueitHurts

3:06pm

Which is why we really need Berrett (sp?) as asst. he brings defense

Bluforever

2:59pm

In the NBA especially, offensive output has way more to do with the Jimmies and

Digital Gangsta

3:01pm

NBA teams employ far more advanced X’s and O’s than college

mjmill

3:03pm

And jelly. Meaning the Utes gonna be jeally.

Ron Mexico

3:02pm

Some good posts today, but this might've made me laugh the hardest of any I have

SoBlueitHurts

3:08pm

As a Suns fan - I don’t really see strong X’s and O’s. It’s simply, make space for Booker and KD 🙂

cougXor

3:03pm

This is quite the introduction to CougarBoard (linked post).

2:55pm

Will miss Aly if he doesn’t come back but let’s face it. His fasting really hurt

Cougz19

2:55pm

So, convert to the Church?

CougarGuy84

2:56pm

Still has to fast once a month.

Benfica1

2:58pm

In KY we trust. He knows enough about player potential and development.

Archaea

2:56pm

We could have used 2 pts from him in the Duquesne game

Moab Rising

2:56pm

I don't know if that's true. He had some other games where he wasn't on, right?

Tricky

2:57pm

And it seemed like he struggled when the refs let the defense

Tricky

2:59pm

Same thought came to me when I saw UK on his list. I thought those guys will

Just turned the MBB category back on ... y'all still demanding a goodbye letter?

Most people just think it's weird. And it is.

It's amazing to me how sore some are about this.

First day here?

He has 16,000 posts, Is it your first day?

Zoobieman

Now we’re demanding he reads our goodbye letter to him.

BW84

RE: Just turned the MBB category back on ... y'all still demanding a goodbye letter?

PJMort

2:57pm

The time for a goodbye letter has passed, doing it now is stupid

Zoobieman

Pope envies, Kevin Young, he's KY jelly

Digital Gangsta

2:59pm

Thinking of tons of followup jokes, Freaking Mods ruin everything!

Zoobieman

3:03pm

Not now, that window has closed. Pope needs to enroll in some classes that teach

Rocketman

3:07pm

Over $4 mill a year is big for a BYU coach. Does anybody know how much Kalani

Cougz19

2:53pm

Based on last year, too much. Kalani, it's time to perform.

Archaea

2:55pm

Because of Ryan the basketball staff has been fully staffed. Not so for football

travelcoug

2:57pm

Football played last year with 4 specialists. TCU has 16

travelcoug

2:58pm

So what gives?

Archaea

2:59pm

Tom has rejected the budget for the hires. Probably because he didn’t use them

travelcoug

3:00pm

Based on any year, too much

Bluforever

3:01pm

That's a ton. It makes him the 4th-highest Big 12 basketball coach.

So does Dallin and Richie come back?

CougarGuy84

Hope so 🤞

PJMort

2:53pm

Hope so. Love them both, but not going to sweat it. If they don't think BYU

LV Mike

2:53pm

Think Richie for sure. Hall might depend on NIL. He had one foot out the door before Pope leaving.

Soupie

2:57pm

PSG beating Barca at home in front of their stunned fans is icing on the cake.

Malcolm Reynolds

2:51pm

Araujo is a cursed man in my book.

HingleMcCringleberry

2:52pm

So Paris probably gets one more shot at a CL final before Mbappe peaces out.

shoganai

2:54pm

Pope HAS to be shocked by this

VinnyBYU

2:51pm

He’s moved on. We should too

Zombre

2:52pm

Nah, he'd made up his mind long before the Kentucky job became available.

RockyBalboa

2:52pm

Seems like they wouldn't have given him the same deal

ryebrye

2:52pm

He'd need to string a couple good to great seasons together. He's had 2 of 5–

Benfica1

2:53pm

And they shouldn't have. This is a strict upgrade for us.

tacallaway

2:54pm

He went to a dream job. Why would he care?

Thrill

2:53pm

Pope has been focused on UK for his whole coaching career. It's evident in how

AF_Puma

2:54pm

My guess is that he is happy for BYU but nervous about getting/keeping BYU recruits.

PJMort

2:54pm

He’s a Kentucky guy. Always has been. He’s a coach at his dream school, a blue blood program and is making more money.

2:56pm

No way, he got his dream job and still makes more $$$ - he's perfectly content.

NorCal_Coug

2:57pm

Both can be true

Bob Vance

3:03pm

The moment you step onto campus at Kentucky you are on the hot seat.

Corn

2:58pm

He would have taken the UK job with a pay cut if necessary.

kccougar

3:02pm

MP couldn't get out the door fast enough but I wonder

2:47pm

Seems like Kentucky is where is heart is.

Preppy

2:49pm

Probably he has just moved on and not thinking too much about it.

Zoobieman

2:49pm

True but just the thought. I don't know if he'll ever

2:51pm

Doubt he cares. He got his bag 💰

texbird33

2:49pm

Looks like both sides will benefit

MajorZeus

2:50pm

He probably doubled his multimillion dollar contract. I think he’s content.

Cougz19

2:51pm

He has too much to worry about at Kentucky to consider BYU right now. It's

Archaea

2:52pm

If he coaches like he's coached at BYU he won't be successful there. Even in a..

Team Chaos

2:56pm

I believe he's a better coach than you do. We'll see. I liked Pope and believe

Archaea

3:03pm

I'm sure it will take him a few years of continuity to get going.

3:06pm

Getting used to these acronyms. In my head MP=military police or mission President and KY = Kentucky.

PJMort

2:52pm

He's getting $5 Million +incentives year 1, and $250k increases each year on a 5

Gente_Boa

How funny would it be to beat Pope in the tourney next year.

marinact

2:47pm

Well, Pope let UVU do that to him

mudpupper

Hopefully we play them. Pope in the postseason is a free win

BlueFever

2:46pm

BYU has never followed the Pope. Why start now?

Bob Vance

2:49pm

So when are they going to have the welcome for Coach Young?

CougarGuy84

2:46pm

Probably tricky with him staying on at Phoenix for the playoffs.

BYUHawk

2:50pm

Yeah, I didn’t think of that. I’m stupid.

After the playoffs are over?

Zoobieman

aaronmania

2:46pm

We would love to have him. Assuming he doesn't reconsider, he is gone, and

Archaea

2:47pm

Agreed. If he were to do a 180 and come back to BYU I'd love to have him.

Tricky

2:54pm

I agree with everything you say except

Archaea

3:07pm

No he wouldn’t. Not close. Great player. Not an extreme outlier player.

Wasn't he #33 in his class?

ryebrye

that's what was said about Jabari Parker at Duke and he ended up with $60 mil

Buffalo

And Frank Jackson. I would have been happy with Jabari and Frank playing at BYU

Parker could have been a BYU legend. I don't know why these LDS guys want to go
