A Message To The Unbearable Yewts That Frequent This Board:
Let’s put something to rest once and for all shall we.

For a decade I have endured comments like this from Utah neighbors and co-workers:

“BYU just can’t keep up with PAC 12 speed and talent.”

“The BYU football program will probably go away just like it did at Ricks.”

“You guys don’t have the money or resources to be competitive.”

“If BYU had to play a PAC 12 schedule you’d get destroyed.”

“Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.”

Now let’s establish a few facts:

1) As it currently stands BYU is still an independent.

2) We beat Utah as an independent soundly 26-17. Our best went up against your best (minus your QB, that’s on Whit) and we destroyed you in the trenches on both sides of the ball. This wasn’t a fluke, you guys got worked.

3) We ran the table in the PAC 12, not only in football, but in our basketball matchups too. This also wasn’t a fluke. We had 3rd stringers in our USC game that were matching up and beating 4/5 star recruits on the other side. I know you’d like to use the “you got lucky” excuse because it kills you to realize that we’re establishing a pattern of depth that allows us to compete and defeat your precious PAC 12.

4) BYU has a phenomenal athletic program PERIOD. I’m sorry but it takes nothing but determination and tremendous skill and talent to go undefeated across the entire month of November in all sports. Not sure of other schools that have ever done this but it has to be pretty small.

5) We worked your conference as an independent, not a member of the Big 12. You can take your superiority complex and shove it. BYU’s not just “as good” as the PAC 12 this year, we’re better than it.

Get used to it. We’re soon going to be in the Big 12 and your comments that “we have nothing to play for” will no longer be relevant. We’re here to stay. We’re going to recruit all the good LDS players back to BYU. We’re going to compete at the highest levels and have a continued fanbase you can only dream of.

So enjoy your potential PAC 12 championship this year, but don’t forget that your conference still didn’t qualify for the college football playoff and that all the G5 conferences except for the Sun Belt have more teams going to bowl games than the PAC 12. Also remember we beat you in the year of your best football showing since joining the PAC 12.

Finally, get off our board. I’ve never once gone to the Utah board. Stop getting joy from rooting against BYU and maybe find joy in cheering for your own team.

That’s been a long time coming and I needed to get it off my chest. The future looks bright for BYU sports and I know it makes you want to curl up in a ball and cry that we’re entering a new era of athletic relevance, but hey, you always have gymnastics.

Drop the mic. Walk away.
