Comments about ‘Utah Utes football: Whittingham, rivals say feuds are over’

Look it up yourself, but you and I both know that Crowton's anomaly is irrelevant and meaningless in evaluating BYU's overall success over the last half century and the current state of the program.

The more relevant question, for a Utah fan, is "When will Utah stop laying eggs in conference games?". Maybe you should consider changing your mascot. He could be giving the wrong subliminal message to your team.

Doesn't matter: The glory days are over in Boise. However, Boise St. would be a great addition to the Mountain West - where they could hang out in the cellar with UNLV and San Diego St.

spin-job or what? We're great except when crowton was here. We're great versus unlv, except for their two recent trips up to provo. Please, silly, tell us the answer to the question -- unlv's record this decade in provo? You can talk about what you know, but I know nothing of the sort, silly goose!! crowton shows-up in the record books, same as any other coach. Now in response to your comments regarding the "anomaly" in vegas last year (their first win over us since the '70's), let's talk about provo's record versus unlv this decade, not on the road, but at home. I know the kittens' favorite topic is history. This should not be difficult for you (just leave-out the spin-job this time). Record?

He may show up in the record books, but he was fired for things just like his record against UNLV.

FYI, the last time they came to Provo, the score was 52-7, not in their favor. If I were you, I'd be more concerned with what the current coaches are doing rather than what the previous coaches did. So far, Bronco is 3-0 versus UNLV, while K-Whit is 2-1, with that one being mighty glaring.

anomaly: something different, abnormal, peculiar

The "anomaly" in Vegas, would be a true anomaly if Utah had a history of regularly winning conference championships. Instead, it's just another example of Utah's propensity for losing conference games they could have, should have won.

Only winning 5 conference championships in the last 45 years (WAC/MWC combined) does not happen because of anomalous conference losses.

I see I have another entry for the zoobie-to-English dictionary.

Anomoly against a single team: determined by one's conference record rather than one's record against said team.

What the @#$% does conference record have to do with how two specific teams play against each other while their overall records is ignored?

Cowboys never forget! Utah is on our list. Thank you for throwing gas on the fire Coach KWitt.

This year do i drive to laramie and watch the fans reaction to twitt and the Yewts or do i go and watch the winning streak continue. Go cougars and anybody playing the Yewts.

I'm glad the feuds don't appear to be over. If all this infantile stuff went away, what fun would football be??

I am so proud of the little kitties from P-Town. You're so hung up on the past two years its ridiculous. 2004 is history but 2006 isn't??? Please. Grow up and realize that you've a had a good run in conference but other than that you're nothing special. A terrible bowl record, a terrible record against BCS teams. So stop talking so loud to Ute fans because there were not too long ago. They owned you for 4 years. You have 2. Good work. And if it came down to it I am taking Kyle any day vs. Bronco in MMA.

you just showed your college football IQ...

Weber State and NIU are not D2, the are in the FCS or football championship subdivision (formerly D1AA) Division 2 is another thing altogether.

Dumb.

Fueds aside, the games will be played between the lines and Utah will easily defeat UNLV and Wyoming. Unlv will not win a conference game this year. Wyoming MIGHT get into a bowl...Utah is predicted to finish at the top of the conference, is red hot winning 9 of last 11 and may have their best team EVER in SLC. no contest.

don't have the unlv-provo record in provo this decade. Anyone? Just curious. Leave-out the spin jobs. Thanks. BTW, the topic is unlv, not overall conference wins. Stay on topic, kittens!! Still just curious.

seriously. you dont judge a 2008 team based off of one game, if i were to do taht i would pick the tulsa game for byu, just to show that they had and still have a TERRIBLE defense, even with brian kehl and jan jorgensen in the lineup. and as far as im concerned, im pretty sure the utes domitated just about every game (whith the byu game being equally dominant by both teams in certain aspects) after the loss to unlv, as byu dominated every game when they lost to tulsa........both teams have fans who are just idiots, sometimes myself included getting ralled up in the excitement of college football.......sure i want my utes to win the conference and go undefeated, but if they dont there's nothing i can do about it, and every fan of every team should feel the same way, because its just a game when it all comes down to it, and we need to look at the whole picture and realize that we need to just chill out on making fun of others teams based on one small thing.

GO UTES!!!!

Really Homers_84606, you were part of the 218-96-2 record compilation by the Cougars? What position did you play?

Tip: Enter adulthood by first separating yourself from a silly childhood fantasy. No more "we did this..." or "we did that.." You are a fan. Get it? you ROOT for the team, not PLAY on the team.

Joe Glenn wasn't flipping off Kyle last year. He was just telling him his team missed the on-side recovery by 1 yard! Sheesh!

One thing the sainted Lavell Edwards did that affects the conversation between BYU and Utah fans all these years later is make BYU ALL about conference championships. For three decades it was their only goal.

So it's not surprising that the blue Kool-Aid drinkers talk only about conference championships when that's how they've always measured success.

But now with the BCS there's a semblance (but only a semblance) of a tournament. And what we all love about tournaments is that when it's all said and done you pretty much know who's the best.

In the NCAA Basketball tournament there's a name for teams that win their conference tournament, but never make it to, oh say, the Sweeet 16.

Those teams are called losers.

And do I even need to say it? Utah has won in tournament settings, both in football and in basketball.

And BYU? Well the newspaper writers did crown them national champs in 1984. And they do have all those shiny conference trophies. Oh, and Danny Ainge has a couple of championship rings (only as a Celtic).

Cougars, I love you people. But less talk and more winning in tournament settings.

Hey!

leave it to be settled on the field OK!!!!
Instead of Stupid fans! on both sides!!!

Coaches may act nice, but fans and players won't forget the classless act of an onside kick up 43 points. Kick the tar out of us without intentionally rubbing our noses in it.
Glenn did the right thing to give the salute.
Can't wait to welcome our newest, hated team to WAR at 7220.

The Utes had better make a decent showing in the "BIG HOUSE" vs. Michigan, or else they'll have to BOW DOWN to the THREE TIME NATIONAL CHAMPION Appalachian State Mountaineers! GO APPS!
