Well this has got to be good news for the ewetes. Just imagine what Collie will
do to the ewetes now that he is back in shape. They couldn't cover him when
he was slow and fat, how in Whittinghams green earth are they going to cover him
now that he is fast and lean? There won't be any 4 and 18 this year. In
fact by the time the 4th rolls around BYU will be playing the 2nd string so as
to not run up the score. Not a very good time to be associated with the boys on
the hill..

Good article.. Austin is an amazing athlete with great potential at the wide
receiver position.. Future NFL star in the making, i wouldn't be surprised
if he a record breaking year if he declares for the draft.. He has a family to
worry about now...
Kudos | 3:13 a.m. April 10, 2008
Man these guys are all doing things so well in life...I don't see how they
could ever do anything less than BCS this year. BCS Busters here we come!
I'm sick of living in Utah's shadow, its time to make a name for
ourselves. These kids are living their lives right on and off the field, and
especially now that Collie is married, nothing's stopping them!

Great article! I am very hopeful about the BYU offense this year, and expect
Austin to have a great year. Also, I'm glad he's married, that should
calm him down a bit, so that he can play relaxed.
UTE FAN | 7:28 a.m. April 10, 2008
Too bad you cougs dont gamble with all your BCS talk you could make alot of
money in Vegas with how confident you are in your 2008 team. Did you not see
how much money Steve Smith donated to the U program? The Utes will finish higher
than the Cougs in 2008!
Ute fans | 7:49 a.m. April 10, 2008
The foot rubbing is weird. I think than can be attributed to the
reporter's questions and writing.
Collie SHOULD MAKE YOU GUYS VERY AFRAID....
Steve Smith donated all of that money to fund "A" scholarship... not an extra one, "A" scolarship.
BCS bowl, that would burn you poor utes self-esteem, wouldn't it. I know after that year you were all talking National Championship, and look what you have become, the little chihuahua chirping at our heels. When BYU talks about National Championships, we can show you the hardware...
But you guys don't let us talk about that, because it wipes out your theory that you can hang with BYU.
Naw, I see the cougs as having a great year. Good luck Utes.
I predict that you will shoot to end up somewhere about middle of the conferednc, with the best "NON-BCS-PERSONELL" in the country, and lose to BYU again, and find some lame complaint about something Collie Said.
Oh, and my prediction, the only ones flipping Kyle the bird this year will be Dr. Hill and the U of U alumni.

To Kudos: Yewt Troll Alert!
a) BYU has NEVER been in the shadow of the Yew. You had two good years under that guy from Florida, and now he's GONE, just like your hopes of being great again. Further evidence that the Yew is not a destination school. You should hope Whit is forever mediocre, because if he ever gets good, he'll be gone too.
b) At 3:13 am, even a Yewt should be in bed! Get some sleep before posting next time.
c) The little dogs bark, but the caravan moves on!

Steve Smith's money is going to change the whole program in less than one
year, and BYU doesn't have anybody donating to their program.
Donations equal success? | 8:04 a.m. April 10, 2008
Great thinking there Yewt Fan. By that logic, Notre Dame should be national
champs every year. They have their own jet after all. I'm glad to see how
uncomfortable all of this news makes you U-tards.
I love it | 8:06 a.m. April 10, 2008

it's backed up CHAMPIONSHIPS!

Slow down about the NFL | 8:39 a.m. April 10, 2008
Hey, I love the Cougs as much as anyone. But one thing I have learned over the
years is that most BYU skill players simply don't have the athletic ability
to make it in the NFL. No matter how much they dominate in the MWC our skill
players just seem to be out of their league at the next level. Remember how
dominant Harline was just a a couple of season ago? But way too slow and small
for the NFL. Curtis Brown - same thing. Every year BYU's skill guys blow up
during the season but just don't measure up enough to draw an NFL paycheck.
I love Collie but I think he is also too slow to make an NFL team. He is
probably a 4.55 on his best day and that just won't cut it in the NFL
unless you are also 6'5" and have a 40" verticle. Our one skill
guy who really had the whole NFL package was Luke Staley. If not for the fact
that he had multiple surgeries he could have had a 10 year career. Love to see
our occassional QB, lineman, linebacker, and tight end make NFL teams though.
GoCougs | 8:37 a.m. April 10, 2008
Ute Fan, so you enjoy reading all the national press about BYU. Hint, buy the
tissue with the lotion so your nose doesn't get so sore from crying. Our
players gamble every year. They go out and play the Utes and gamble that nobody
is going to get serious hurt from a cheap or dirty shot by a Ute. So do you
think the utes will be "sackless" again this year?
RPH | 8:37 a.m. April 10, 2008
Note to the author: Collie made progress, not "progression."
Re: Kudos | 8:37 a.m. April 10, 2008
Ute troll alert.
Analysis: Harmless ankle biter.
Carry on.
On topic: For a player who was slow and out of shape, Austin did pretty well last season. I can't wait to see him in action this fall.
If I were an opposing defensive coach, I think I'd be a little concerned with how to defend everything BYU will throw at them this year. Strong, quick, talented running backs, receivers that run precise routes and can find holes in any defense, and a quarterback who will have even more experience reading defenses and finding open receivers.
If the offensive line can live up to last year's preseason billing, this could be one of the most explosive offenses BYU has had since the '80's.

Bad Move | 8:47 a.m. April 10, 2008
Steve Smith needs a new accountant. What a terrible investment. Give money to a
team that will run up the score on Wyoming and lose all of their big games,
(UNLV ouch). Sounds like Steve should have gone to Vegas with his money instead.
NFL Continued | 8:48 a.m. April 10, 2008
Rather than Collie, the skill guy that I think has enough to break the BYU
drought and do well in the NFL is Harvey Unga. In fact, I'm afraid he will
have around 2,000 all-purpose yards and be very tempted to leave early for the
NFL. He reminds me a lot of a bigger, tougher, healthier Luke Staley.
And remember Chris Smith? One of the funnest BYU TEs ever to watch. But like Harline, too slow and small to even make it out of an NFL camp. Our TEs actually have represented well over the years usually despite their lack of athleticism because they had great hands (Mili and Lewis - Coats because he's strong as an ox) but it's the receivers and running backs who just do not bring the same level of speed and athleticism that the NFL requires.

Re: UTE FAN | 8:51 a.m. April 10, 2008
I don't gamble, but I've heard that making money in Vegas has
everything to do with beating the spread, not with how confident you are in a
certain team.
Unless the Utes are using that money from Steve Smith to buy a couple dozen blue chip players, I fail to see how Steve's very generous donation will help the Utah football team perform any better in 2008.

This is killing me, I guess I'll look forward to summer, but there is no

We've got weapons galore on the offense. I hope our defense can hang with
running quarterbacks, since UW will run and UCLA isn't sure who's
throwing for them. Louks from the U hurt us a little last year.
Go BYU! No injuries!!!!!!

Let's be a little more humble...while BYU has a very bright future, and we all believe BYU is going to pwn Utah this year...yet again...and IMHO, go undefeated all the way through a BCS bowl domination, let's be a bit more classy. Let's not lower ourselves to the level of a yewt fan!
As for Steve Smith's money...the YEWTS NEED IT! Look at what Kyle has failed to do...perhaps more ca$h will help...but how?

It's not just BYU fans and local writers talking about the BCS. Every
single article I have read from a national columnist that tried to predict this
year's "BCS Buster" says that it should be BYU.
Don't know if that's good or bad (pre-season predictions are very unreliable), but we're not the only ones that have high expectations for BYU.

Cougar fan in Georgia | 9:43 a.m. April 10, 2008
Gotta love that Utah County bubble. I'm a Cougar fan and all, but all this
BCS garbage before SPRING TRAINING has even ended is a bit overboard. Here in
SEC country we can be realistic because we have good football teams to compare
to.
The Cougars will be Preseason top 25, and probably deserve it. But in order to bust the BCS, we need to realize that 1) we are NOT a national power going into this season, just top 25 to start (ask UCLA what that really means) 2) The truly power teams don't have major questions about so many areas of the team. Namely: An offensive line that needs some serious help (see UCLA game and ask Colt Brennan what happens when a weak o-line hits the big time), A secondary that would likely get torn to shreds playing a true power team, a paper-thin linebacker core with players having to shift position and learn the system... just to name the most obvious issues.
You don't hear these sorts of issues in SEC country that often. So my point is RISE AND SHOUT and be excited about this season, but lets be realistic about it.

Re: Slow down about the NFL | 9:57 a.m. April 10, 2008
Collie could very well get drafted after graduation. He's ran a 4.4 on his
best day, and someone of that size with that speed is incredible. With injuries
last season and being "slow" he was almost a 1,000 yard receiver. I
really think if he works hard he has real potential to be a 1,500 yard receiver.
That being said. BYU has come a long way as a program. It went from being nothing in '05, then had two stellar years, two undefeated conference champoinships, and is now poised to bust the BCS. It's taken a lot of hard work to get to this point. I doubt BYU will do something dumb to throw that all away.

hmmm
A quote about a well-regarded SEC power concerning the upcoming 2008-09 season:
"While reevaluating player talent is an annual process, most programs don't usually find themselves looking at empty coaching depth charts. Unfortunately for ...., that is the case on the offensive side of the ball."
(Name withheld to protect the guilty.)
It appears that even power teams in the great SEC can have major questions about HALF the team.
Go Cougs!

I love hearing about how the Cougs won the national championship in '84,
the many of this year's players were born. I'm sure they remember
that year and it inspires them to achieving higher this year.
Truth be told....BYU's goals for this year is what Utah has ALREADY done....so who is in the shawdow of who??? BYU talking undefeated season....already happened to UTah. BYU talking BCS. Been there...done that for the Utes.
Based on the fact that Utah has already accomplished all of BYU's goals for this year (except for the one where the coach wants to schedule Junior Varsity teams ie. Northern Iowa to complete the undefeated season), the shawdow is on Lavell Edwards Stadium, not up on the hill.
Here's to the Cougs being this year's Michigan with a top 25 ranking to open the season to go along with an opening season loss to the Junior Varsity team (not to mention this loss coming on the same day the Utes will be taking on Michigan at the big house)!

That said, it's a great rivalry. To the more moderate / realistic BYU fans posting here, thanks for keeping it in perspective. For the rest of you, maybe you should let the ink dry on the press guide so the fumes don't go to your heads like that.

The National Championship was nice but for a true cougar fan it is nothing

have your BCS we have A National Championship and 17 Conference Championships.
But most importantly we have score bored.
Also it doesn�t matter if you play Michigan in the big house if you get punked their like you did against Oregon State last year. I'm also glad you beat, Dominated UCLA last year. It still doesn�t take away the fact that you got punked by UNLV 27-0 and on yeah Forth and 18 baby!!!

the utes busted the bcs sure...Who'd they beat? 7-5 Pitt in their bcs game,
that was lame...Who cares! The year BYU won the national title we beat a very
good Pitt team among many other good teams. We also had a string of very good
seasons leading up to that. We even have an NFL Hall of Famer and Superbowl MVP.
That came from the early 80's teams so I'd say we were pretty legit.
BYU has greater history and present team...We will do well this year... Ute
fans, please stay on your own boards because you make yourselves look silly with
all of your jealousy.

I'll take winning a conference championship over winning a bowl game any

Especially with the bowl lineup that MWC teams have available, if you can't even win the MWC conference championship, you really shouldn't be making a big deal about beating some middle-of-the-pack team from whatever conference in the "name-your-sponsor" bowl.
Enjoy the win, but realize that winning ONE game in December doesn't make up for stinking up the rest of the season.

At the Utah games in Provo the Ute fans makes fools of themselves trying to

(personal experience). For this Utah grad it's not hard to take sides with

National Championship Trophy > BCS Bowl Trophy
Why do Utah fans insist on comparing Utah's best stretch of football in the last 50 years with BYU's worst?
Utah practically disappeared off the radar in football during most of the 70's and 80's, and really didn't start to get competitive in the conference until the 90's. Utah has one remarkable BCS-busting year. Other than that, they haven't made any impact on the national scene.
Meanwhile, BYU has a National Championship, a Heisman Trophy winner (and several close misses), Outland Trophy winners, Davey O'Brien Trophy winners, a win over the #1-ranked defending National Champions, a couple dozen conference championships, and they produced an offense that is largely credited with changing the face of college offenses today.
The comparison between the two programs isn't even close when you compare the overall success of both programs.

BYU vs. Utah: one-sided rivalry. Utah cares. 70% of BYU doesn't care.
RR | 12:13 p.m. April 10, 2008
BYU had a last chance to win the game the last second two years ago. Utah also
had a chance to do the same last year. BYU did it, Utah did not.
BYU gift wrapped their win by out smarting Utah. Utah had the last second meltdown on offense when BYU outplayed their offense. Utah had their chances, but BYU outplayed them at the end of the game.
Next year, all you need to watch is the 4th quarter because that is all anyone ever talks about in this rivalry.

I just hope that both BYU and Utah do well in non-conference games. If both
teams dominate on the national stage it will only help out the conference and
the other team. That way the rivalry could actually come to mean something
outside of Utah.
Harline still open | 12:42 p.m. April 10, 2008
The only reason Harline is still open is because he is standing alone in his
backyard after no one in the NFL deemed him good enough to sigh him to even a
practice squad contract. And 4th and 18? - Collie probably pushes off in line
for lunch. The guy has set the standard for number of push-offs per game. If he
could lower his forty to 4.7 he may be able to limit that.
schedule | 12:45 p.m. April 10, 2008
BYU is scheduled to play Utah State until 2012. Whyyyy? why not schedule
teams like Baylor if you are looking for a cupcake; people know Baylor has a
football team. The same can not be said of UT St. I know it's close to
home and it makes people feel good, awww, it keeps $ instate and it's an
easy win. But BCS cupcake teams are a win, that makes me feel good, awww, and
it will generate more $ when we get invited to play w/ the big boys in January.
I like you Utah St. and I wish you well. Maybe the Utes will schedule you.
Please stop hurting me BYU with this schedule nonsense. Go Cougs.

Re: Harline still open | 1:29 p.m. April 10, 2008
As far as Collie pushing off? It's hard to push off when there are no
defenders within 20 yards of him. And who cares that Harline didn't make
it in the NFL! He helped BYU spank the little red ladies and that is all that
matters.
