This was a pathetic game. The Utes looked terrible. As I said before, last year
was a fluke. Now, we are starting to see Boylan's recruits and
"his" team.
Utah State won't bet any easier and looking at the next few weeks, things could get very ugly here.

Verlin was Stew's right hand man for years.
Verlin learned everything about coaching from Stew Morrill.
Verlins is as much a Stew clone as Randy Rahe at Weber State is.
All 3 men are darn good basketball coaches.
Expect the game vs the aggies to be a repeat of this one.

It's OK, Utes. Next week you get to play Utah State - that will be kind of
like your Super Bowl

Yes, this was a very talented Idaho team. They may even win third place in
their league.
Idaho is in the Big 12, right?

You keep Boylan | 10:25 p.m. Nov. 13, 2009
We have Rose. You can keep Boylan.
By the way, I understand from my friends in Idaho that the Idaho Vandals are a national power this year with a real chance to go to the final 4. So don't hang your head too low little brother. No one expected you to win this one anyway.

I HATE BOYLEN....HE IS HORRIBLE....wake up Chris Hill....the guy is awful. Just
down right ridiculous, FIRE BOYLEN.

Gotta love Idaho. This is sweet.
The Real USU | 10:49 p.m. Nov. 13, 2009
LOL!!! Utah tries to emulate the magic of the Spectrum and lose on their first
try...coach V still has it!!!! Now hopefully you Utah losers understand that the
WAC is the superior basketball conference. Nice work embarrassing in their house
of shame...next up USU will need to go in there and make them cry...
Ogden Aggie | 10:51 p.m. Nov. 13, 2009
Idaho is no cakewalk with the Ex-Aggie Assistant Don Verlin at the helm. The
guy can flat out coach. Great win for the WAC. Hope the Aggies can reapeat the
performance next Wednesday. Go State!
Idaho... | 10:55 p.m. Nov. 13, 2009
is a far superior team from a state with multiple teams that dine on ute meat!

I like Boylen. I hope he succeeds and brings the fans back to the Hunty.
But there can be no excuses, he has GOT to win games like this one.

WAC and MWC | 11:05 p.m. Nov. 13, 2009
I am not going to be the irrational fan that jumps on here and says the WAC is
better than the MWC, however I am also not Cougar fan who thinks the MWC is a
top tier conference either. Truth is the conferences are pretty close in talent
level as Idaho, Boise and Nevada all have great athletes. USU doesn't
really have the athletes but rather system players that fit well into our
system.
Poing being Idaho dropping 94 on the defending MWC tourney champ certainly sends a statement. I mean Idaho is good but it is basically the same team that finished as the 4th or 5th seed in the WAC last year.
Nice win for Verlin-like Coach V. He is actually a better recruiter than Stew, but when it comes to X's and O's few are better than Stew.
Great night for WAC, Verlin and Ags!

Idaho is a decent team, I think they will take 2nd in the Wac this year, and I
would not be suprised if Utah was preparing for USU a little early. I
wouldn't blame them at all. The aggies are tough, and I feel they horrible
tonight, so if the aggies don't change things then Utah Has a chance.
Tommy T. | 11:41 p.m. Nov. 13, 2009
there was WAY too MUCH hype at the start of this season. Boylen was talking a
lot and that blue print article was sick...just sick. you have to put up winds
before you say you are back. this is going to be a long ugly season if this is
the team we have.
GIVE UTES SOME CREDIT | 11:48 p.m. Nov. 13, 2009
Idaho is a very strong team yhis year. I thought we played very hard tonight.
People in Idaho sure knew they would win. IDAHO is a top 50 team!
wonderful night of basketball | 12:07 a.m. Nov. 14, 2009
Yes. BYU wins. The Jazz win. And the Utes lose at home to Idaho. Cheer up Ute
fans. The freshmen showed some promise. Something good to hold onto.
Ute fans are lame | 12:11 a.m. Nov. 14, 2009
Only 8000 attendance? BYU had 16,000+ tonight. What is wrong with Ute fans?
They are total fair weather fans.
Where's the MUSS??? | 1:00 a.m. Nov. 14, 2009
I thought they changed the seating. Come on, since when don't these
gimmicks work.
I would like to give props to the Utah fan that posted anonymous earlier. It proves that there is at least one Utah fan out there that is just not an anti BYU fan.

re: lame | 1:10 a.m. Nov. 14, 2009
What else is there to do in Provo on a Friday night? Of course, there will be
16,000 fans there. You can only watch reruns of "Johnny Lingo" so
many times.

going to be a top contender in WAC this year. Proud to be wearing the Silver and
Gold!!!!
Laugh a bit harder BYU fans | 1:48 a.m. Nov. 14, 2009
Keep laughing BYU fans this not even close to the beating your going to get in
Logan from another "crappy WAC" team.
Boylen can coach | 2:48 a.m. Nov. 14, 2009
Not really a Ute fan (and not a hater) but by the end of last season he had his
team playing really well and besides getting a little over-emotional, he seems a
great coach. I think next year is the one where his team better improve. Do U.
fans expect to get another Rick Maj? Because you will not.
Isn't it sad......... | 3:47 a.m. Nov. 14, 2009
That cougar fans biggest joy comes from big brother losing! I guess when a
program hasn't won a NCAA tournament game in nearly 20 years and has a
total of 11 tournament wins in the programs history, it's more fun to take
a jab at their highly successful big brother.
Same with football, cougar fans hatred toward Utah's BCS success will have them tuning in cheering for TCU tomorrow evening. It's sad when you have more joy with big brother losing than with your own team winning.
Hmmmmmm, wasn't hatred a topic of discussion just a month ago in conference?

Coach Boylen has not shown the maturity needed to be a long time winning coach
for the Utes. It is difficult to cultivate any respect for a coach who rants,
raves, throws tantrums, and looks to not have recruited well.
I hope I'm wrong, but there looks to be a lot of growing up to do.
Then there is the Cougar's Coach Rose that embodies a winning attitude, recruits well, and earns the respect of players, fans and peer coaches.
Different styles, different results. Coach Rose has got it right.

that Utes are bandwagon fans. 8k in attendance and it's going to get even
worse as their sorry team keeps losing. Pathetic bandwagoners.

For all the BYU fans ha ha and hee hee talk, win a tournament game before you
laugh.
Cut them some Slack! | 6:30 a.m. Nov. 14, 2009
Everyone knew this was a rebuilding year with all the lost talent. There is a
reason everyone picked the Utes to be in the middle of the conference this year!
Quit crying, remember when the Utes lost the first game to crap team last year
and then went on to beat top 25 teams, win the conference and go to the
tourney!!! That proves Boylen is a good coach, so let him coach these young and
new players into a good team again this year and more so next year without
ragging on the guy and calling for his head! How would you like people blogging
about firing you when you have 1 bad day!

an upset!!!! Utah has got to win these early games to show the world how great
Boylen is. GO TCU!!!!!!!!

Boylen didn't scream enough. I'm certain if he had screamed louder the
outcome would have be different.
Patience | 8:17 a.m. Nov. 14, 2009
And what did you expect in a first game for a young team? Boylen will have the
last laugh on the 1 game losers posting here.
