Is is just me, or is anyone else astonished at the amount of energy expended on this thread? This is quite a pissing contest.

History and tradition only serve you today as far as developing your recruiting base and fan base. Neither of yours are too impressive in that regard. Nobody thinks Weber State, despite a decent history, is ever going to seriously resurrect their program. You appear to be on the same path. You simply have too many other schools to fight with to get those California recruits. When you're in a small state and your rival has more fans in your own home city, that's a big problem. Like I said before, I don't have delusions of grandeur about BYU's place in the basketball world. You have more upside because if you do make a lucky coaching hire, like Urban, you have a chance to get really good for a few years before he moves on. You also have more downside because you don't have a recruiting base to fall back on when you don't have a great coach. We're seeing that now. Giac's not that bad of a coach, he's just not Majerus. Good luck finding Majerus again. Hill's not on a winning streak, though, is he. |

Uh-huh. That's why you've contributed the most to this thread. You seem to be trying to convince yourself that Utah is finished in hoops. If it makes you feel better to believe that, more power to you.

You guys are the ones that sound in a panic. It doesn't really bother me what you do in college hoops.

This thread started the day after you lost your home winning streak to us. This thread is about Ute fans gripping seeing the advantage they had slipping through their hands like sand. Trust me, I don't care what you do in BB. You're Wyoming to me. I don't even view you as a recruiting threat in BB. We haven't lost a recruit to you in BB since maybe Josh Grant. |
