GO UTES!!
P.S. Utah dominated the recruiting scene in utah! BOOM!
Bottom line is "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME LATELY?" And I think we all konw the answer to that - both in football and basketball!
Until you beat us in something other than women's basketball or women's gymnastics, Yewt fans have nothing to harp about, so climb back down your hole and don't come out until you ACTUALLY WIN SOMETHING.
Granted, Snow is in a lower division, but I guarantee they would beat USU...but then again, I would probably choose Snow over USU, hoping for a chance to move on to bigger and better things, like Utah or BYU...at USU, you are just stuck in a terrible program for 4 years...
I went to that game to watch those two players because of what I had read about both of them. The Brady kid made plays the entire game on both sides of the ball and the other kid (Nicholson?) had one good run and took himself out of the game at least 6-7 times. I know this because I was standing on their sideline the whole game. Brady is the better player having seen them both a few times. That is my opinion. Time will tell.
BTW...NICE job on winning the instate battle UTES!!!!
GO UTES!!!! BCS in 08!!!!! (doesn't that remind you all of those overzealous BYSpew fans?) Now maybe they can see how silly they look!
Congrats to all the recruits and good luck at the next level.
One more thing about USU recruits vs Snow College. I know of at least one Snow College recruit who turned down a full ride to USU. What does that say about the program?
Many junior college recruits are actually top notch athletes that struggle in other areas, primarily academics. Too bad Ricks College went the way of all the earth, and what happened to Dixie St? Right now we have one pipeline for D1A football in the state, that both BYU and Utah tap into: Snow.
For all of those players Snow recruited, I bet half of them get another big billing in two years when they sign with BYU, Utah, USC, Michigan, etc. Seems to happen every year.
Now these are the kids we need to keep in state one way or another!
Oh, go BYU!
Brady was a good hs school football player, and I wish him the best in whatever his future holds but he is not better than Nicholson!and if or when he gets the oppurtunity to play at the next level, then we can say time will tell until then
Check out their respect videos on scout.com The eye in the sky don't lie.
Your right and the coaching staff of the #1 team in the mountain west and 14th ranked team in the country are wrong!or maybe its that
Brady ran an 11.52 @ byu and Nicholson ran a 10.85 @ east and an 11.04 @ davis. If he wouldnt risk his career for coach kafusis nephews peter @ ball state and David who signed with Michigan state then why would he risk it for a teammates kid unless that kid was deserving. Enough said!
You post one time of Brady? Maybe that wasn't his best time? And the last time I checked being fast isn't the only thing that makes a player. You have to be able to do everything. You have your opinion, I have mine. I can't help it if yours is wrong!
hs fan,
What did brady do against highland and what did nicholson do against highland? vs. skyview 9 carries 47 yards 2 receptions 36 yards 1td 2 returns 60 yards 143 all purpose yards and 6 tackles, not great but good all around game.
Really this is all in good fun, but still individuals dont win games, teams do. Skyview put all their energy in to stopping him. Nicholson did all he could to help his team win just as brady did!Having his way with him come on dude!they were never matched up against each other, taking himself out of the game one or twice oh my heck even bugs bunny got tired but i dont recall brady playing every down either, other times were coaches decisions. as far the track thing 200 times nicholson 22.0 brady 22.7. The most imporant thing however is that these two young men with their enormous talents are saving their parents a ton of money!
Let's see I would guess there were 40+ players on the Snow college team and 80+ players on the oregon state team. 2 years at snow 3 years at oregon state, if half were back in the consecutive years that would mean the 200+ fathers that played with him should have it made!! Bronco won't have to recruit anymore! too bad for you high school fan and too bad for every other hs player that aspires to play at BYU. those positions are already taken!
Sky View played Highland of Idaho and buried them. Brady didn't need to play much on offense that game. West played Highland of Utah.
To:get over it,
When we want your opinion we will give it to you!!
the meet was davis and the time was 22.5 my bad.
cant wait until track season now!
