At least Utah fans can live in the past. Their past is a helluva lot better than our present.

I know that you guys are comiserating right now and I don't want to interupt your grieving process, but Texas A&M has one of THE most schizophrenic teams in the country. In one game they can play worse than my ward EQ and then they can come out and beat Texas by 15 or Ohio state by 30, or play KU to the wire. A&M was a top 10 team for 1/2 the season.

BYU played very well with a young team and showed why they will be a force in the future. My hat is off to them for playing a tough game.

Our basketball is a pathetic history of slow footed, no heart, no talent kids who just throw it up stupidly and get nothing done.

Utah has history and something to recollect. BYU has no basketball history of anything in any reasonable memory.

I'm not a fan of Rose if he can't coach a team to one measely NCAA tourney win, perhaps we need to look elsewhere. I hope it means Plaisted stops looking to the NBA as he has no business thinking about anything other than Europe. He can't finish and has no heart.

We get out-rebounded by that lousy team?

Quit the whinning. BYU has a talented team, remember that Lee Cummard is a junior and will be returning next year. Tavernari is only a Sophmore, and has another two years. Trent Plaisted and Ben Murdock are the only two seniors this year. Dave Rose has been there ONLY 3 years and earned a bid to the NIT, his first year and the NCAA tourney the last two years. All three years, BYU has had 20 or more wins. BYU finished second in the MWC his first year as coach and BYU won the MWC for the second straight year (UNLV may have won the MWC Tourney, but remember we played at HOME, a distinct advantage for the Rebels).

Dave Rose is getting very good recruits to commit to BYU as well (rivals.com).

SIGNED LETTER OF INTENT

Charles Abouo SF 6-4 210 - Wolfeboro, NH

BYU has the talent and skills, they are only lacking a bit of athleticism and speed. Something that Dave Rose will cure in the next year (As a Rebel fan, BYU scares me the most of any team in the MWC). Get out to the games next year and have some fun.

Plaisted is a junior, but he may decide he is ready to make life miserable for SHaq and the boys next year.

Lower your expectations. Then believe and die a painful death like the rest of us.

Past? Dude, we're still playing (c:

Your teams problem is the dude named Johnathan. Totally gay sounding. Sign up a Jeffery to go along with him. Or a Geoffery if you can find him.
John, now that's respectable.

You have by far the best players in the conference. Your coach sucks. He does.

Great. A Rebel fan coming and acting magnanimous. Telling you all to buck up. The ultimate insult.
