Yes, you're right on UA's last decade. I was wrong. But so are you in accusing

me of justifying, which I never did. I didn't mention BYU being anything. You introduced that.

Be careful in falsely reading something that wasn't said. I'm very comfortable saying I was wrong, and I was wrong...except I personally don't feel it's a premier destination despite the success you referenced. But I didn't suggest on any level that BYU was anything. I was just disparaging UA. 2016-2017....good years. Since then....meh

Of course, but Pope loves challenges.

Being offered $10M to coach is a great job.

Over how long. U/A was a great job while Lute Olson was there. It's not now.

U of A is offering 10 million? Nope. Sean Miller was making 2.4 million. Link:

I'm estimating a 4-5 yr contract, obviously not $10M a year lol

Okay, makes me feel a little better. I think Nick Saban is close to $10 million

U of A is one of the best jobs on the West Coast

That’s all fine. Much truth. But he’s diminished the many things he’s said

I admit I'm unfamiliar with Pope saying he will stay at BYU forever, link?

Nice try. He’s never said forever but if you haven’t heard his constant barrage

I would appreciate a link. Also would like to know if you think he was lying.

But he said all those same things about his vision for UVU and his role

Fact: A BYU player holds the single game scoring record at McKale Memorial

First 3 basketball schools in the west that come to my mind...UCLA, UofA, Zags

BYU won the NIT twice, and back when we won it, the NIT was more prestigious

You're hilarious! 2001? That's like saying BYU football is a premier destination

5 elite 8 appearances since then. 3 in last decade. BYU? 0

I made no claim about BYU being a better destination.

4/15/21 10:43pm

So? You did say UofA hasn’t been of consequence for years. 3 elite 8s in last

Ok. Read what you just wrote and apply it to yourself. I never said UA was pre
