While we can savor the demise of Utah in any sport, we should recognize the absolutely classy post Lovering's Dad

made after we beat them last Saturday, wishing us well in March Madness. #respect

Congratulations on a great season @BYUMBB - The State of Utah basketball is looking bright and is about to get really interesting.

It’s been a pleasure being part of this rivalry.

Best of luck in #MarchMadness #GoUtes

Harlan is the BEST thing to happen to Utah sports since the Utes killed off

That's such a crap statement

Crappy UU fans & administration should definitely not be news to him...

Seriously. It’s like the rattlesnake “you knew what I was when you picked me up”

Ute fans suck. But at the same time I could see how Lovering would be hard to cheer for.

kimdaddy35

Mar 12, 1:17pm

They fired Smith with 3 or 4 games left... hired a new guy who won't even join the program until mid April

Coug

Mar 12, 1:20pm

It would have given them continuity though for the team to try and accomplish something like winning the postseason

kimdaddy35

Mar 12, 1:24pm

Harlan didn't want the team to go on a good run. It would have been harder

mcnasty

Mar 12, 1:37pm

Agreed. I think he got nervous after the Kansas sweep and took the UCF loss as a chance to make the change.

5150man

Mar 12, 1:40pm

Exactly this!

Cougarbib

Mar 12, 1:46pm

Agreed, which is terrible for the players. A clear sign that their AD didn't care about them.

That is the most pathetic reason - scared his team may win oh boy there are

Utes did Smith DIRTY dirty...

They couldn't let him finish the season because he may have done much better

Yeah I totally agree with Jim - they shouldn’t have given up on this team. They

The Smith firing is easy to understand. That decision was probably made the day

Cougarbib

Mar 12, 1:44pm

If they hired Alex Jensen no one would have cared how many games Smith won.

Mar 12, 3:15pm

I love watching him play. Such a hard rebounder. He’s not a starter

Boring

I actually feel a little bad for these guys that had to play for the utes. 🤮

Ojiisan

Mar 12, 1:18pm

Yeah, it's not like this team had a Marshall Henderson on the team or anything.

cougfanblue

Mar 12, 1:21pm

If that is a general feeling from the players, make you wonder if any will be back

Remigius

Based on friends and family members of Wahlin on this board it is clear he is trying to get out.

I actually think it’s fair to be mad that the university gave up on the season

Pretty vague though, what is he talking about, really?

What is vague?

What he is saying is that the school, its admin, and fans are the worst. And he

Why is his kid playing there though? We all know what that place is. Clearly

They may have to hold open tryouts so you could have a chance.

Their fans, coaches, administration... the ENTIRE university is toxic
