This is getting me excited for Cougar Basketball!

4 Conference Champs in 4 years.
Win in the tourney | 11:03 p.m. Oct. 6, 2009
I hope the Jimmer Fredette being the best bball player BYU has had in many many years and coach Rose's miraculous bout with cancer somehow inspire the team to help them win a tourney game.

It seems so repetitive every year. Why do we quite running and play less and less agressive as the season goes on?? They play scared in the tourney. I hope Jimmer isn't and plays like a man and gets us a win.

see the utes finishing with an above .500 record in the conference. They may finish above .500 overall since they didn't schedule southwest baptist this and replaced them weaker opponents like Oklahoma and Michigan LOL!!!

Frankly, Cummard was a huge disappointment. I can't imagine any of his replacements being worse than he was. He wasn't a bad player, he was just a big disappointment, failed to make key shots, failed to finish plays, failed to win games he had a chance to win. This team will be far better than last year.

Let's see if Teo can play basketball.
Or the LB from Reno.
Maybe Manti can transfer to play.

I am really looking forward to see BYU play in the NCAA Tournament this year. BYU should do really well in Tournament play. Just like they always do.

Rumors that two basketball players are getting kicked out just like Te'o...what is going on in Provo? someone spiked the blue kool-aid. Mighty Utes are looking tear things up this year.

The cougars would be a third place team in the WAC. Good thing they play in the mountain worst conference.

I'd be willing to bet the Cougars win an NCAA tourney game before the utes do. Looking at the lack of quality that boylen is bringing in, it's a safe bet.
Ernest T. Bass | 1:56 p.m. Oct. 7, 2009
I'll gladly take that bet. Stupid is as stupid does.

To: REG:ETB,

You do realize that BYU hasn't won a single NCAA Tournament game since the 1991 season? You do realize that BYU currently holds the dubious record for the longest time without a Tournament win?

If you still want to take that bet, then I also have some oceanfront property in Laverkin, Utah for sale.

The only thing I envy about Utah basketball is their scheduling philosophy. Serious props for putting the big name schools on your schedule, even if you lose most of them. BYU plays a couple really good teams a year, but I'd like to see them play five or six really good teams. I don't care if we have to go 2-1, get the ACC, Big East, and Pac-10 schools on the agenda. SOS worked wonders for Utah's seeding last year, and the fans were excited to watch those games...even if they ended up being losses.

As for Utah's program, I think this will be a long year on the hill. I haven't bought in to Boylen, but I hope he's able to work some magic this year and prove the 4th place media prediction wrong. Either way, I think BYU will go 2-0 against them this year and win the MWC outright.

I'm so happy for Coach Rose & his health. I hope the Cougs can live up to the preseason ranking. We've been here before. Let's make it happen this time.
Delusional Utes | 8:41 p.m. Oct. 7, 2009
Utah fans seem to be operating under the belief that Utah basketball is still performing at the same level as it was during the Majerus heyday!

Sorry to disappoint U, but those days are over for Utah. Time to face the reality that nowadays Utah is only occassionally good enough to even make the NCAA tournament.
But I miss the BEAKER! | 8:19 a.m. Oct. 8, 2009
Any chance that the U can dedicate the entire season to The Beaker! What a joy it was to see his Muppet Show mug on the tube each weekend in the winter.

I am sure he's sorely missed on the hill...
