Well, if they are not on the PAC12 network (the home of the Utes), then they must be.
I get the impression that Wilner fields a lot of questions from earnest, ignorant BYU fans.
That's OK—PAC12 fans are used to being on the periphery.
Like tooblue. I bet I could find 100 messages to Wilner in his sent mail box, most of them with subject "Pac-13?"
I'm very surprised Wilner is such a student of the Holy War.

tooblue's entire schtick is TV draw and "relevance". He knows BYU is gonna get rolled.
Except he's not.
BYU wasn't at 9 in a row in '93 since Utah won in '88. Their 9 in a row was '79-'87.
Hostile brought it up—the fact y'all's insecurity runs so deep you can't let it go is the reason it keeps rolling on. And just to be clear, BYU played an FCS opponent in their first game and it was nationally broadcast on a channel that is available on all platforms. Utah played an FCS opponent on a channel more than half the sports fans in the US can't get. Just say'n.
It's really cruel and classless of you to keep poking at our insecurity.

“True, we [lawyers] build no bridges. We raise no towers. We construct no engines. We paint no pictures - unless as amateurs for our own principal amusement. There is little of all that we do which the eye of man can see. But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”

does anyone speak this dialect of Canadian? I'm unclear about what he's trying to say.
According to historian Larry Gerlach, Mormons have historically expressed "a constant need for validation and assurance" (http://library.la84.org/SportsLibrar...mpika1101b.pdf).
You can do better than this, tooblue! It's BYU-Utah week, not "our TV contract is better than yours" week!
Put some effort into some smack-talk and come back when you're ready.

None of us, including tooblue, really believe this.
I guess we'll have to take solace that we'll only be relevant in November.
Like last year ... or maybe the year before that, when the conference sent the Utes to Vegas, to play BYU?
Is it ironic, or maybe just interesting that it was easier for me to watch Hostile's son's high school football game last week than it was to watch Utah's game? After all we keep hearing about separation, or gaps existing between the two schools. But, really, what kind of gap is there?
other than money, head to head wins and recruits, nothing
Won't it be hard parting with those ribbons—hard fought as they were for the Utes to earn year last season, the season before that, and every season upcoming for the new Washington State!other than money, head to head wins and recruits, nothing
A handy map for those going to the game on Saturday.
Wait, let me amend that. Washington State has been to the Rose Bowl ... Utah, the new Arizona!
Washington St is currently ranked #20, is that a bad thing? I don't get it
You're thinking of December. I'm thinking of November. You know, the month where conference championships are decided. Yes, we faltered down the stretch, but we had an opportunity.
BYU's late season Gauntlet:
San Jose St
Fresno St
UNLV
UMASS
Hawaii
Clearly ESPN helped arrange that must see TV.
Funny thing is, that is their best Nov since independence day by far. At least those are FBS teams.

I really don't think that Tyler Detmer is a good offensive coordinator. He is going to make Scalley's job easy on Saturday.
So I said to David Eckstein, "You promised me, Eckstein, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life, there have only been one set of prints in the sand. Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?" David Eckstein replied, "Because my little legs had gotten tired, and you were carrying me." And I looked down and saw that I was still carrying David Eckstein.

Freaking Urban Meyer introducing hate into this thing.
It's a 13th game you guys got because you're playing at Hawaii -- something available to all FCS teams. Most teams playing 13 games get 7 at home, not the 6 BYU has, and most teams play that extra game in November, not a week before anyone else at the start of the season. But you gotta get people to come to LES when you can, right?
I would love to watch the Cougs play byu. It is possible they would put up 90 points.
I bet byu would crack the 30 point mark against them too...
And yet can't even sell out their biggest game of the year.of course I will: BYU is nationally relevant and a big TV draw.
It's not even close. I was looking to buy some tickets for me and my friends, and they had several sideline sections with 8 seats together that were available. And they weren't at the top, either.
